[QUOTE="PD1744, post: 1675475, member: 39284"] The second boot kit came in earlier in the week. This one seems much better. Boots look like they will fit better and boots and clamps seem higher quality. Kit also comes with new snap rings and circlips and enough to do two joints for $35 after tax. Eventually I'll either rebuild the spare with this kit or just keep them on stand-by as back ups. If you're looking for boots, do not order[URL='https://www.bestpartsonline.com/cv-axle-boot-kit-ford-f-150-raptor-10-13.html'] this Kotek kit from Best Parts Online[/URL]. Instead order [URL='https://www.ebay.com/itm/202579453680?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5338805043&toolid=20001&mkevt=1']this EMPI kit from eBay[/URL]. New IWE vacuum lines came in and I installed them yesterday. Very straight forward. Took 30 mins taking my time doing it the first time. The reason I need new lines was the Christmas tree clips that hold the lines to the knuckles failed at some point allowing my tires to rub through the hoses.
