Half Shaft Seal Leakage

Good morning guys

Before my dad passed away in April, he went ape purchasing all sorts of aftermarket parts for his truck. He never did get to install them. Anyhow, he put a 3" block lift to fit larger tires. He took it through some mud and sprung a leak on the drivers side half shaft seal. I replaced it, and a week later it leaked again. I realized he had 2 brand new half shafts in the garage and took it down to have both of them installed and the shop kept getting leaks on both sides so i took it back. Tell me, is this happening because of the 3" lift blocks and no diff drop kit? I do have brand new Toytech coilovers to put on the truck but my sister gets the damn truck in the will and doesnt really care to have all of the mods done (killing me). Any ideas?

Thanks

TC

Looks like you've got it figured out.

Either the lift blocks gotta go, or the diff drop has to be installed.

The half-shaft boots can't hack the angle.
