1996 4Runner Axle/CV boot questions

I have a 1996 4Runner SR5. Lifted 3" with 33s. Lots of engine mods. When I was changing the oil last week, I found that BOTH of my CV boots were torn on the front 2 axles. I know my way around this rig pretty well. BUT, I don't know if I want to change the boots (a lot cheaper) or replace both complete axles. Any advice? The axles were replaced at 145,000 miles and it's now at 207,000.

Thank you for any answers!!!

I just replaced both of my axles with two new ones from advance auto for $116. Come with a lifetime warranty. Now I have the old ones to rebuild eventually and have as spares. Used the directions on the site to replace and it only took me about 2 hrs to do both of them

I would just put some new axles in if they're original with 207K on them.
