3 inch lift and cracked CV boots
 
OK....I know this has probably been beat to death. But I can not find the fix for this and I am getting old.....(memories going).

I s there a dif drop or something to prevent these boots (which are now touching at the fins on inner and outer cv boots) from prematurely cracking?

Thanks in advance.

Any local 4x4 shops? You can always drop the diff, heck you can do anything, it just costs money..

From what others are saying the lift puts the axle at a angle which puts stress on the rib (fin) of the boots. They say this is what causes the boot to crack prematurely.
