A couple points
  • Your boots are tearing because those angle are way too steep.
  • You need to fix your camber from the looks of it, though it doesn't look like you can get it anywhere near in spec as your cam bolts appear near maxed out. Do you have BJ spacers?
  • That blue shackle is attached to a tie down point, not a recovery point. That's dangerous
  • Do you have any droop left with the front cranked that high?

His drivers side is maxed out but in the wrong direction to correct for too much "+" camber.

Yes, he has BJ spacers on the truck.

WOW that is WAYYY to much lift without using a drop bracket! YOu need to A. Let the bars down a little and B. pick up a drop bracket lift, to get the angle of your LCA's down. That is far too extreme.

yea maybe the PO cranked those tbars a little. thats steeper then mine with bj spacers. i was wondering why yours set higher than mine. you cvs looks almost as steep as mine did when i had the bj spacers and my tbars cranked 1.5inches.

X2. That thing is alot more angled than mine is with just BJ spacers and the top of the tire is WAY too far out (don't know if that's camber or caster since I'm not versed in alignment).

Does it ride rough?

edit: Maybe something as simple as a 1" diff drop would help that angle a little? I've never done one but hear that they are helpful.

Its hard to know since we do not know the exact reason of the problem.

IT seems very strange to me that you said the boot was torn the day after you installed it.

Manual hubs will keep the cvs from spinning while in 2wd with the hubs unlocked which will save them if the problem was the steep angle.

True but Ill kinda add and subtract, with that kinda angle paired with a lead foot off road id say that he'd snap the halfshaft within one outing. I'd say lower the bars and get them mani hubs in and call it a day, But the diff drop will be a good add on. Wheel on
