Default Inner CV boot keeps tearing
I had my inner CV boot on the drivers side rip on my F-150 (6 inch suspension & 3 inch body) about 6 weeks ago. I bought a new (refurbished) one from NAPA and replaced it. It tore again today. Argh... Are there any stronger or aftermarket CV axels or boots out there?

Maybe because you got such a big lift on there that it is causing a problem. Do you need a longer ones if they make them.

how much are your keys maxxed out? if the axles are at sever angles the rubber will rubb and it`ll slowly tear it....
