Has anyone installed a shock boot as a replacement for the stock front drive shaft boot?
Mine came of loose. Dealer won't replace it because of lift kit...

From all the research I have seen no one has bothered trying. Everyone usually just goes with an aftermarket shaft. If you fix the boot it will just rip again.

X2. You can go a couple of months without the boot then it will fail. The only solution is to go with an aftermarket driveshaft such as coast, Tom woods, je reel

yup, what they said. no point in going though the trouble when you're just going to tear it again.
