We know it can't be just because the front end was drooping some because we do it all of the time without that kind of toe-in.

Don't forget that there is more suspension travel on a lifted H2, so you will get more extremes. Also, those big tires grip incredibly well, and will by themselves toe in/out just beacuse they are gripping and pulling so well.

While it preserves the pitman and idler arms, I am betting that it also reduces the amount of flexion experienced by the centerlink in situations such as the pictures shows.

May well do, I hadn't given it much thought, but will get back around to installing my one, once I get a Rancho steering stab, and see if it helps.
This was without even locking the front, but the wheels are spinning and you can clearly see what happens as the suspension bounces and the center link flexes, causing the tires to deflect and pull in/out. That is a good way to break a tie rod.

Phil, does there happen to be video of you doing the same thing the picture shows?
Here we go with coincidences again.
Phil, your pic was before you blew the CV, correct? I wonder if there is any weight to my far-fetched idea of both tires toeing in stressing the CVs?
It's admittedly far-fetched. Especially since neither of you were locked up front and it's going through a diff anyway but ......
