    Hey guys, wanted your opinion on a problem im having with my truck. So i just got 19 tacoma, and I payed this rim shop to a 3” lift on it like 2 weeks ago. Today I noticed some grease on my truck by the wheel. So i looked under the truck and i see more. When i got home i did more inspections. For some weird reason My passenger’s side Axle boot it’s torn. Do you guys think the lift had some to do with it? Or did the guys that installed the lift Ripped it?
    I wonder if my dealer would cover it?

    It’s becuase of the lift. Shop must have nicked it while doing the lift coupled with Bad cv angle I guess resulted in the tear.

    There’s a longer cv aftermarket boot you might consider. Maybe the experts here can help you where to get it.
    Edit.
    I don’t know if this will work but here’s goes.
