pic of cv angles and advice

[bjballar41]

i have a 6 inch rcx lift and ive had both cv boots ripped on them, both was outer boots. one ive had replaced already other will be replaced soon. i need advice how to get this to stop ripping. ive heard that its cause its cranked so much and it puts it at an extreme angle. ive heard that a cepek lift doesnt put it at such an extreme angle cause its a true 6.5 inch lift without cranking. i like the hight of the lift but i hate the cv angel here is a pic of how my angels look right now. i know this cant be good for front end parts not just the cv axles



so any advice as to what to do to keep front end parts from wearing out?

Thge control arm bushing could use replacing. Your angles are not so bad, de-cranking wouldn't hurt but I've seen way worse. My tahoe looks similar to that. As for the shoc, how are the bushing in there? it is hitting the arm and I've heard this happens sometimes. I know the shocks that came with my lift had a larger body diameter than my current bilstiens. So a smaller body will help that I think.
