The RCV boots are made for lifted trucks and can run up to 45 degree angle. at 23.75 the angle is no where near any problem, just the wrong boot for that application.

I have 35 tires and a leveling kit wit extended shackles and air bags on the rear. Love how she sits and not stupid up in the air but nice, after 25,000 miles the angle this puts on the front CV axles have caused the boots to began seeping grease.I wonder if anyone makes a 2 inch drop for the front differential which will correct the axle angles ?, Other option is I found some aftermarket neoprene boots that say" for lifted trucks" they are suppose to be able to handle the angle. Any suggestions?

Great forum with a tons and tons of info. Also just PM him to buy a set of differential spacers because I tore my CV boot last year due too sitting on the high side. I only see them selling with the T-keys leaving kit and I'll find out if we can just get the spacers.

Reason is you really don't need a leaving kit, just lift up front end and hit the T-bolt to raise the front end. The OEM keys have more then enough rotation to leave it out. This is the only kit I ever seen to drop the front dif and on his site there a H3 with his leaning kit.

ALL who tried it have removed the diff drop.
