Lifted front 2.5 inch Bilstein 5100 series

I lifted the front suspension by setting bilestiens 5100 series at 2.5. I didnt however lower the front differential. After driving about 6 months I notice that there is a lot of grease that has oozed out from the axel boots. So I ordered the front lowering kit. I am going to lower the front differential 1 inch. Do you think I need to replace my front axels now or just regrease them?

 

probably just a cv boot that needs to be replaced. have you noticed any vibes?

 

Not really I think it feels alright. Just worried about all the grease I saw. My friend seems to think I need to replace the axels.

 

How many miles on the truck, got any pic's of the cv boots?

 

x2^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

140,000 miles on the truck. No I dont have any pics right now I can get some later though.

 

probably dont need to replace the whole cv half shafts its most likely just the boots have ripped due to the increased angle. if the cvs were bad you would get high speed vibes

 

Maybe. Or they might just fail. There isn't that much grease in there and they are rotating all the time. It depends on how long and how much.

OP, in all likelihood you are looking at needing to replace your axle that has a torn boot.

 

So I decided on just replacing the axels they are only 100.00 after you give them the core. Anyone done this before? Is it a tough job?
