    BTF Lifted and eating inner C/V axle boots

    So Ive had my lift on for probably 3-4k total. I had the issue with the outer boots rubbing the bottom control arm. That was fixed by putting aftermarket c/v axles with smaller diameter boots on it. Problem solved. Now, after putting about 2k on it since that fix, the inner c/v boots have...

    Did I kill my Explorer???

    Hence the reason I went ahead and replaced mine when my dad owned it before I bought it. Prolly had 130k on it. still intact but replaced anyway. A friend of a freind had a rattle in his 02 a few years back, i pulled front cover and the guides were in 6 pieces.
