One option to prevent this from happening if you get it fixed under warranty is to put your axle off center so the driveshaft has clearance...Yup, pretty sure that's why mine hasn't torn yet...
I really need to center my axle at some point but I know it will result in a torn boot!

Mine has been torn since the first time being disconected. Its been ripped for almost a year now and no problems. My mechanic friend says just put some grease in every now and then and I should be fie. He also says as long as the one nearest the transfer case isnt split no worries. sees them all the time and no problems.

Coast 1310 Driveshaft
I would check out the Coast 1310 Front Drive Shaft from Dave at Northridge 4x4. They run about $450. I'll be replacing mine at some point, and this is what I'll be going with.

Good luck!

i run tom woods and there working perfectly for me. price is 450. there custom built to the length u need.. imo pretty much any aftermarket double cardan style will work way better than stock..
good info on the site also.

I had replaced my front DS because I thought that was what you were supposed to do when you rip the boot. No other options as far as I can tell after doing much research. Either you will end up breaking stock DS and deal with that damage or busted up TCase and deal with that. Google it up and make an informed decision on what poison you would like to take.
Just be warned that it is a possibility though...
