    Gotta pull the cv out. Take apart the cv. Put the new boot on and fill it will grease then install it. Maybe re fill the diff with oil.

    Depends on you mechanical aptitude

    I've got a badlands winch mount bumper up front and it still seems like more than 3" of lift. Not sure adding a winch would help much, but hopefully I'll do that soon before I blow a CV. But my CV's look pretty bad too even with a diff drop.
