Cv Boots Needed Severely

My boots are ripping due to my angles on my 04 fx4 screw! ive replaced them before but they continue to rip and sling every drop of grease out. I have got to find an aftermarket boot that is softer. the factory boot is very hard and plastic like. I want a more rubbery boot. I can NOT find one anywhere. I dont care a cost. Anyone know where to find some. they can be pink green blue yellow or whatever. I dont care. Im gunna end up ruining my front end. Any suggestions????? got 2 1/2" AS and 6" fab

my advise is remove the leveling kit or at least go down to a 2 inch.

I dont think anyone knows either but I also think you should take off the leveling kit or at least go to a 1 1/2" spacer I think 2" would still be a bit much. Are you running 37's is that why you have the spacer stacked.

my tires are 36x15.50x20. They were rubbing already. i had to do some modification to the back of the fenderwell at my dads body shop to make em not rub. ive heard of leather being a possible sollution. im not sure bout using leather. i was planning on going up to 37s next time i need tires. Anyway i dont want to change my lift setup just find some boots. So many old timer mudboggers said that they used to be available but i just cant find any.

Well since you dont want to lose any height just repair the boots with normal ones and look into a PA body lift
