You know your CV boots are blown when...

You see this in the AM.



Hope everyone else has more fun on the 4th than me!

Did the bolt from LCA skid punctured it, when i installed the Icon LCA skids i cut the bolts to make them short or your angle of tie rod was to steep. On my previous truck when ever it would be on the lift and tires pulling down the CV boots would squashed.

I think the pic is deceiving. The bolt is nowhere near the CV normally, but might be from being on a lift. I think I may have had a slight tear from Moab that finally went. I honestly will have to take a closer look.

When the truck flat on the ground the bolt seemed far away, but when the truck was flexing, it was coming close, so i shaved the bold almost parallel to the nut. You probably know this, but if the front is cranked up to high it can lead to cv boot rupture. When i installed winch and skid plates and my truck sag, i asked tech only raised it so it would be even and the CV boot would not be squished. Anyway hopefully it is easy fixed and your truck looks amazing.

Yeah I get what your saying. I thought I would roll the dice since I like clearance, but I may need to crank it down a hair to make sure I am not stressing the CVs. Also, I'll take another look at flexed out clearance with the skids and probably cut it down as well just to be safe. Thanks for the clarification and help.
