I find it interesting you know lifts cause this, you know improper install can cause this, and yet you give the installer a pass and hold Ford responsible to fix/cover the problem?

How high were they set? Going over 2" sets the CV angles pretty extreme and could prematurely wear out of the boots. Also if you go offroading through mud and **** like that you could rip them when they're spinning in gunk.

If the parts were installed correctly and the parts did not fail, causing the issues that you're having, then you should look into the Magnuson-Moss warranty act. They must have proof that it was the aftermarket parts, and if they don't, then they have to honor the warranty.

Yup and the "dumb dealership" probably doesn't know what they're talking about!
