what’s going on with my boots (2 Viewers)

Hi guys. I recently lifted my 02 lx470. The front sitting around 23 inches center to wheel arch. But I notice my boots look werid so I went down to 22 inches. And now it looks better but still werid. Should I keep driving or throw a new boots on for my mistake. And what height you guys sitting at for arb 2.5 lift kit. I got front bumper with winch. And waiting on the rear bumper so front looks kinda low. That’s why I turned my torsion bar 6 to 5.

Diff drop will help with the CV joint angles.

What's weird? Just the way the accordion boot is folded?

1. Those aren’t OEM axles. Boot length may be different.
2. 23” hub to fender is way too high. Adjust down to 21.5 or thereabouts.

Yes. The way it angle looks off

I’ll keep that in mind. Is it harmful to keep this cv on the truck. Like will it brake?

No, it's there might as well go with it for now, IMO. Running it at that much of an angle will lead to excessive wear and premature failure however. If you off road the high angle could make the CV more susceptible to breakage also.
