    Default Tacoma cv boots

    04 Tacoma approximately 2” OME lift with diff drop.

    My research on Tacoma world said 2” should have been very safe on CV axles and boots. First set of inners went out immediately after lift, most likely 20 years old no big deal. Second set of OEM inners started separating in 6 months. Trucks a mall crawler and thank goodness he stays out bad stuff for now.

    Anyway, any of you tried those Trakmotive cv axles that are supposedly made for lifted vehicles? I know they are not as good as OEM, but with no grease OEM ain’t gonna hold up either.

    Any luck on a fix?

    Extended travel/high articulation axles are worth the coin

    I’ve never seen a boot issue on anything but 2007 and up GMs leveled. Can’t even recall a lifted Toyota with a bad boot.

    We use Trakmotive and the best price we’ve found is at Rock Auto.

    Well that helps a ton! Was worried about the Trakmotive brand, the fact that y’all use them makes me feel better!
