Better CV axle boots?

I am in need of rebooting my CV axles again... This will be the 4th time. Just like everyone else, my inner CV boots are split.

I'm wondering who makes better CV axle boots. I've been using Toyota boots and grease, but am open to other options.

I see SDHD has inner boots, and so does ORS. Anyone used either of these boots before? Any others u am not aware of?

SDHQ are good CV boots. I run them.

 

Any reason you haven't gone the napa route with the lifetime warranties?
Seems like they would pay for themselves pretty quick if you're on your 4th set of boots already

 

Because I'm still running my OEM shafts, and I believe them to be Superior to all aftermarket CVs.

 

Good call. They are superior in strength. Have you checked out that boot mod thing? Separates the fins of boot enough to keep from prematurely splitting. Supposedly. I dunno, I've never done it. But looks promising.

 

Yea, I've seen the boot slide mod. Been a while since I read it though... Might reread it now.

 

Yeah that's it. I think that mod is about fixing the boots that keep failing after being lifted, etc.

 

boot slide mod works good just dont forget to blled out the pressure after you install on the truck and cycle the suspension if not the fins will probablly still be touching and you will still rub through..

ask me how i know.

 

I third the boot slide mod.
I actually just did it this wkend. I recommend only going 3/8 to 1/2 Max. Which, if you cut the old boot's spacer dealio exactly in half + old c-clip will get you there.

 

This is inner boot at 3" of lift.

 

Try giving CVJ a call and ask about the high angle boots

 

My boots are not rubbing through, they are cracking on the inner most fin and breaking/ripping.

 

that sucks. i woulod try a "high angle" cv boot next. I purchased some from ORD expensive but going to give it a try. i also had a boot rip like you are explaining but the boot already had signs or ware (was already rubbing from before the Boot slide), not sure if i would have had the same results with a brand new boot.

 

Seems like I remember reading that the OSR boot don't need a clamp on the small end because it fits tighter, and will slide on the shaft.

Here are my boots left side is split wide open.
