Extreme angle CV boots (1 Viewer)

[mp_cude]

In preparation of installing Ironman suspension on my LC, I am doing a diff drop. The front ride height will only increase by 1.5 inches. I recognize that is not much, coupled with the diff drop, my boots “should” be fine. I am replacing the CVs with Toyota OEMs. As I want to try to plan for everything, I would like to replace the OEM boots with an extreme angle boot of equal or better quality than OEM. Is there such a product? And if so, does anyone have a good, bad or indifferent experience with them.

Again, I realize my CVs will not be at an extreme angle, and a boot upgrade for all intents and purposes is not necessary. That is irrelevant to me and I don’t mind the added cost and labor, so long as quality and longevity exceeds what an OEM boot would do in a stock configuration. Thank you and I look forward to the conversation.

When I reboot, I'm going to try the Tundra boots.

So, right before I took delivery of my 100, I had the PO take it to his guy and install these...

9534 TR - CVJ Axles

LIFTED- MODERATE ANGLES BEST ✶✶✶✶✶ 9534 TR $342.00 each +$220.00 core deposit each Toyota Steel OEM Toyota Plastic Outer CV Boot Higher Angle Red Silicone Inner Boot Closest to OEM Toyota for lifted applications Same Right and Left; One (1) single axle

The high angle silicon boot at the inner boot position and OEM as the outer and this is the combination that the guy swears by.

The boots are available by themselves...but they are pricey (I think) and not warrantied. They DO claim to need an extra
inch of room that it sounds like you have.

IMO, the OEM boots are really good. The main issue is keeping the grease from seeping out.

Does the grease squeeze out then? I suppose it’s not a matter of them fatiguing and tearing, more of a pressure issue?

Another vote for Tundra boots, they've worked well for the last 1k miles at ~21" hub to fender with a diff drop.

i had a pair of CVJ axles and they lasted less than 2 years before the boots tore. I had to reboot with OEM boots.

My OEM CV's failed after I put ironman fcp with diff drop on my now sold LC100. I had to reboot and used OEM.
