Looking for some help with my lift

[supersquirrel]

So, I lifted my 97 limited, using 2 inch Daystars blocks, with the intention of later on down the road going with a full coil over and rear spring setup. Also I dropped the front axel 1 inch to help with the CV Boot angle. Well, I have so far replaced the front CV Boots once this month, and they are showing heavy wear, again, to the point that they will not make it to the end of the month.
My question to you, what am I doing wrong???
Did I miss something here?
I am at the point that I want to take the lift off, and just go back to stock.
:ybrick:
Still on stock rims and tires.
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
I love having a lifted truck, even if only by 2 inches, but, replacing CV Boots every month is not going to fly

I have not heard of CV boot issues with only a 2 inch spacer lift before, especially with a diff drop. I am running CO's at 3" and my boots tear every couple months but I will run them torn for a while since I know the axle is good. I am running the Autozone lifetime axles and their boots arent the best.

I will have pictures on when i get home. The angle does not look all that bad.

And shortly after posting this, the drivers side blew. So, I will be trying the "Boot Streching" here when i go for replacement.

Thousands of miles after "stretching my boots", they still are in great shape and show no wear. They do show rub marks (dirt rubbed off) from turning but the rubber has zero wear. The key is to stretch just enough, don't over stretch and stress the rubber.
