Torn the second CV boot in 13,000 miles
Well. I found another CV boot puking grease on the front of my truck. I will never again recommend a T-bar lift to anyone, at least not with longer shocks on the front. I installed the lift at about 30k miles and now its at 43k miles. Anyone out there have the same lift? Or similar issues? Mine came with a 3" add-a-leaf for the rear, and to level the front end out I needed the longer shocks. Obviously it has been too much strain on the boots. I'm wondering if I can find a supplier that has a softer type of boot instead of the hard plastic accordian ones. Like something from a front drive car.
My only cure for this is going to be to get some fender flares and trim the maximum out of the fenders so that I can lower the front to where the tires don't rub. And to anyone asking they are 35x13.50x18 tires. 13.50" wide tires are way too wide unles you have a 6" lift. Live and learn I suppose.

My concern is, if your CV and drive shaft angles are this acute causing steering boot splits...........what's your CV joints and such doing?
There must be similar wear in them?
