Brand New Control Arm, Boot Already Torn WTF

I recently installed brand new moog upper control arms and the boot on the ball joint on one of them is already torn wtf!!!!!!!

I do have the torsion bar cranked up on the front do you think that puts extra stress on it? Also took it mudding a few times but nothing too deep. How the heck can this happen so soon?

Also what do you think will be the side effects? **** gets in there and wears it out quicker?
