Torn outer CV joint boot

[Enesf6611]

I just noticed that my passenger side outer CV joint boot is leaking. I found a small tear on the boot. My guess is it got damaged during the leveling kit installation.

I have been searching for part (number) for either complete CV axle or just boot kit but could not find anything for lightning. Anyone has any ideas?

Do you think an ICE 4wd F150 joint boot would fit?

Might be a silly question, but have you called your local dealer's parts department and asked them to look up the part number for you?

I had the same issue. Leveled as well. I think what happens is that the place where the factory crimp is set is tight at full droop with a leveling kit. If your ever hitting whoops on the freeway or off road or speed bumps it pulls hard on the boot. Mine is in the shop now getting replaced. I'm hoping the tech can move the crimp on the outer c.v. closer to the edge so it has more travel.

OR! This is a total hypothetical The crimp were put on bad at the factory.

In the process of lowering mine today and my drivers side rear was leaking out before I even started the job. Mine only has 2400 miles
