You can't buy new boots for an all wheel drive expedition and change it out with the ones on your truck?

I hate to tell but the A4wd Expedition axles have more flex in the joints along with out ripping boots. An they will work just fine in any 4wd truck from 97-03/04. So next time get your fact straight before you say they wont work. BTW I have ready lift keys maxxed out with A4WD Expedition CV axles.
