Default 2005 cv joint issues with leveling kit.

I'll post pics when I get home. Having major issues with cv joint boot ripping tie rod issues and ball joint issues. Have a leveling which was on the truck believe it's 2.5 inches. Red spacer at bottom of spring and 2in block in rear. Cv angles are to harsh I'm told. What can I don't fix this?

Are you sure its a 2.5" level? I have a 3" lift and have been dealing with ripped cv boots for the last 3 years. I've tried everything even just tried a 3/8" spacer between where the cv axle meets the pumpkin and that didnt work. Even though people say the spacer works. I've given up and am going down to a 2" level. Whats happening is when the suspension flexes what I believe is the bottom of the strut is rubbing on the cv boot and tearing it. Sorry thats the only advice I can give.
