Default CV Joint Boot problems

Both of my CV joint boots are ripped now. I'm thinkin its from havin my torsion key lift on it so it puts the joint at an awkward angle and tears into the boots. I'll post some pictures tomorrow but it's dark outside right now. Do yall have any suggestions on what I should do to fix this problem? Maybe crank the torsion bar down a little bit to level out the suspension in the front?
