Trusted front axle replacements? Lifted Tacoma

I just noticed that my front, right, outer boot is torn. If the axle is is in good shape, what is a quality replacement, outer cv boot replacement brand?
If not, what are quality replacement axles for a 2.5in lift truck? 2011 4x4 6cyl Double
cab Thanks for your time Red

 

I would choose OEM over O'Riley's Import Direct. Those are the only two I've seen. I caught a mechanic try to bait and switch me. Sold me OEM and put on Import Direct, I noticed the difference and got them to admit what they did. OEM looked way better, more solid, better boots and clamps.

 

You mean from Toyota OE, or OEM style?

 

From Toyota Part # 43430-04071 I paid too much for them as I'm found dealers websites that give discounts now. Like this site but there might be better https://autoparts.andrewtoyota.com/ FREESHIP promo code till 6/30/23. Good Luck

 

Thanks man. I appreciate it

 

Reboot it with an OEM boot

 

Toyota sells remanufactured axles. I'd go with that as first choice if available.

2nd choice is CVJ axles. They have a very good reputation and have a couple upgrade options.

 

Toyota sells OEM boot replacement kits.

 

Last I heard the OEM remans are on a national back order, but if you can find one- I would recommend it.

My first recommendation for OP is always going to be to reboot with an OEM boot kit- but admittedly that's coming from someone that has the tools and knowledge to do the job. Might be different if I had to pay someone to do it.

CVJs are great, but $$$.

 

Thanks guys!!

 

Keep in mind that if you have driven the truck for a while with the torn boot, It makes more sense to go with a new or reman axle. Once dirt and debris gets inside the axle they usually wont last long after that.

 

I am looking at CVJ, what other parts or seals are required to do the job correctly??
