Looking For Confirmation of Clearance/Fit on (CVJ) Axle Replacement With Truck (3" ToyTec Lift)

Product Page (9808 R)

I have a ToyTec 3" lift with 885 springs and Bilst. 5100's in the front. The product description for the axle reads:
Red Silicone Higher Angle Inner Boot
This boot is wider, longer, and has more ribs than the OEM design.
Needs additional clearance of +1″ diameter around the inner joint.
Also needs additional clearance of +1″ along the shaft.
Please check the clearance around the inner joint before ordering.

Not really sure if this applies being as the front lift was really only about 2-2.5", not a huge change from stock.

The alternative is to go with their No Lift/Stock Angles boot - reason I was considering this is it took 10+ years for my original factory boots to even show small tears following the lift install. I'm wondering if it's really necessary to get the higher angle boot..

 

^Just run the OE inner boot and do the boot slide mod if the fins touch. I'm lifted 2.7" and wheeled it for 3 years with no issues.

I don't quite trust the high-angle CVJ boot on the stock tripod-style inner joint because it's a two-piece design and may be prone to leaks: https://www.cvjreman.com/product/bootrt08/

 

cant beat original axels imo.

 

Does anyone know the size for the clamp needed?

 

For the small clamp around the axle shaft? #16 (nominally 1.5" dia.). PlumbShop P/N PS 6517 stainless steel: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/plumbshop-gear-clamp-0632141p.html
