Not Again!
Not another torn half shaft boot! Yeah thats right there is grease all over my frame and wheel well again. I just had that replaced about 3k miles ago under warranty thanks to ford. But now what, I doubt they will warranty it again.
So I know that there others out there with my same setup, are you experiencing the same issues?
My truck is a 06 f150 fx4 with a 6" fabtech with 2.5 as on 37's.
Is pulling the lift out my only fix I hope not?!
Please help all posts appreciated.

what might help is pulling out that leveling kit and putting in a 2" instead of the 2.5". might make your angles that less dramatic and could help a little.
or ditch the hole idea of the spacer and get a body lift.

Do you think the the 1/2 inch will make that much of a difference if so that is worth trying.

My understanding is that the cv angles are changed when a spacer is added and that a lift does not change the angle. Therefor if I am expirencing this problem, whether Im lifted or not then so should everyone else that has just the spacer kit...?

I have less then 1000 miles on mine. It's not my daily driver.
Let me ask you, are you tearing them without using/being in 4wd? If you are only using 2wd and tearing them then I'm
If you are in 4wd or off-road I could see if happening pretty fast. Let me know... I may stick a 2" spacer on to see how the angles look before I get the body lift.

When I wear my stock upper ball-joints out I’m going to get a set of Camburg’s and hope I’ll have the BL on by then.

What do you mean credit? Did you get the 1.5" free?
Let me know how it turns out... Post some pics.
