the reason they keep splitting is from the boot rubbing on itself underneath. I would think that a boot with less ribbs in it would be better. They act wear into each other. I know Downey used to carry them.
thought maybe someone here had a good solution. those might be worth a try tho.

could try Off Road Solutions - 1995.5-2004 Tacoma Parts
From there website
These CV boots have been completely re-designed to work with high angle applications, such as lifted vehicles. The boot stretches further over the joint and the bellows are placed further apart to keep them from contacting, extending the life of the boot. Kit includes 1 boot, 2 clamps, and CV joint grease, 2 kits needed per vehicle. These boots will work with the original axles or the ORS Manual Hub Conversion. With tulip shaped CV joints the use of the original boot sealing flange is required

I installed a 1" dif drop and hose clamped my stock boots. Solved my problem.
Good to know gonna quit while I can haha
My local CV rebuild shop can do silicone boots. I'm not sold on silicone boots. The silicone boots will deform at speed. I know that on 3rd gen 4runners (96-02) the outsides don't have the room and will rub. I know of some that have used them on the insides. I just had both of my axles rebooted, neo outside/silicone inner. I'm out on a road trip and after 1200 miles they are puking grease from both inner boots. Holes too.
My outer boots are neoprene and are stretched some so the ribs don't touch. They also used boots with less flutes to keep them from touching.

Try Slee offroad I talked to them awhile ago and they said they sell the high angle boots.
