    Just put on my diff drop and i still have the inner CV boots touching :mad:

    I know just from the look that they will be tearing soon just like every other time so now I'm looking for any other solution.

    Anyone try these? I searched but it's just people recommending to look at them and no real experiences. My front set up is Eibachs and Bilstein 5100s set at 0.

    Another question, is it possible to stretch the boots further on the axle to bring the ribs further apart?

    Seems like a good idea. Im always worrying about my boots. I haven't heard any reviews about them though. It seems like they should have clamps on both sides but I guess it's not necessary.

    You can stretch out your stock boots. Worth a try because new boots are a pain in the dick to install.

    How new is your suspension? Maybe let it settle a bit and then do the boot slide mod

    This ^

    Just get some reman axles from autozone/advance auto/nap/whatever with a lifetime warranty. If your boots rip again or you break an axle you just head back to the auto parts store and get another axle for free.

    Do you know how the inner part of your cv axle is shaped? Is it circular or a circular triangle shape?

    Edit:

    If they're circular then these should work, the outers would work regardless.

    I may try these.

    Just noticed you have a similar setup to me, having this problem? What are you doing about it? Right now after I replace both axles I'll have 3 or 4 torn wide open after about a month.

    My boots tore probably 4-5 months after I installed my lift and I drove around on them for awhile. To fix the cv axles I bought the boots in the link I posted to swap out the boots but the inner boots didn't work for my cv axle. I now am using autozone reman axles. I've had the new axles on for maybe a month. The passenger side split at the seams so I think it was just a defective boot, but the diff seal was leaking anyways so I would have had to pull that axle out again anyways. Hopefully the boots on these autozone cv axles hold up.
