Ok well I officially put my curiosity to rest on the topic of front-end lift and CV joints on an IFS truck. About 2 weeks ago while changing my oil I noticed an absurd amount of grease all over the drivers side undercarriage. Upon further inspection I found the inner CV boot totally ripped off the joint of course spilling all the grease. I checked the other side and noticed the inner boot of the passenger side beginning to spit grease from the boot clamp as well. Not good
I am running a 2001 Taco with a Fabtech Coil-over system bumped to just under 3 inches. My question is this... Besides going to a SAS (not an option at this point) what is my best course of action. I have heard decent things about CVunlimited rebuilding my existing axels and fitting them with hi-lift CV boots but I'm not sure I can be without my truck for the 2 or so weeks they will have them. Are there any other options? My father-in-law suggested longer axels to take the strain off the 3 inch lift but that will probably take an expensive kit with longer A-arms, upper control, etc right?
An opinion is appreciated.
