GENERAL BOOT INFORMATION – TO HELP YOU CHOOSE
- ALL BOOTS – running at higher angles will decrease the life of any boot (as well as the axle’s internal components).
- Outer = wheel side
- Inner = differential side
- Lift = total combined lift from lift kits, shocks, spacers, adjustments, etc.
Neoprene Boots Least expensive – BETTER
- Order Axle 9808
- Industry standard boot is neoprene.
- Quality neoprene – CVJ sources better neoprene boots than most aftermarket axles.
- Outer boot:
- 1-5 year life expectancy. Environments with salt, mag chloride, ozone, and extreme weather will shorten the life of neoprene. Neoprene is also susceptible to dry rot and cracking.
- Inner boot:
- NOT FOR LIFTED
- 1-5 year life expectancy
Original Toyota/Lexus Boots Closest to Original Toyota/Lexus – BEST
- Order Axle 9808T
- Outer boot is factory original Toyota/Lexus Hytrel plastic
- Tougher, more abrasion and chemical resistance
- Great for environments with salt, mag chloride, ozone, extreme weather, etc.
- Outer boot is installed with special tools using factory original Toyota/Lexus clamps
- 5-10+ year life expectancy
- Inner boot is factory original Toyota/Lexus neoprene
- NOT FOR LIFTED
- 5-10 year life expectancy
Higher Angle Red Silicone INNER Boots MODERATE LIFT – BEST or GREAT
- Order Axle 9808TR or 9808R
- 9808TR features OEM Toyota Hytrel plastic outer boot (longest lasting)
- 9808R features aftermarket neoprene outer boot.
- 9808TR and 9808R both feature Red Si Inner Boot.
- Red SI Inner Boot is a proven custom solution for moderately lifted vehicles.
- This boot is installed on the INNER joint (differential side).
- This boot must be CHECKED and may need to be ADJUSTED (extra clamps are provided) after installation to work for your specific truck setup. Each lifted truck is unique and custom. All axles with Red Si Boots come pre-adjusted for the majority of trucks. However, the Red Si Boot still needs to be checked and may need to be adjusted for your custom setup. See instructions below.
- For lifted vehicles, the Red Si Boot will last longer than neoprene.
- The Red Si Boot will help if your axles are running at higher angles (lifts, raised shocks, leveling kits, etc.) and your old inner boots are:
- at moderately higher angles
- are rubbing on themselves
- have longer travel
- This custom inner boot design has more convolutions (ribs) so it handles higher angles better.
- The silicone material is better in extreme temperatures.
- The Red SI Boots are NOT designed for extreme axle angles (lifts over 3.5”)
- The Red Si Boots are clamped along the axle shaft and not in the original position.
No warranty on these boots.
- CHECKING AND ADJUSTING THE RED Si BOOT: Start with your truck on level ground, with the wheels on, and at normal ride height. Axles with Red Si Boots come pre-adjusted for the majority of trucks. However, the Red Si Boot still needs to be checked and may need to be adjusted for your custom setup.
- CHECK for:
- Adequate clearance between the boot and all suspension/frame parts (1/2”).
- No boot ribs (convolutions) rubbing on themselves. Need 1/8” to 1/4” of clearance between the closest ribs. Roll the truck tires 1/4 turn and check again – repeat x3.
- ADJUST the boot,
- Remove the small clamp and slide the boot so the ribs don’t touch.
- You need 1/8” to 1/4” of clearance between the closest ribs.
- Do not stretch the boot too far! The boot will tear in tension if stretched too far.
- Re-clamp the boot with the extra clamps provided.
- CHECK for:
No warranty on these boots.
- There are a few products that can help condition boots to help them last longer (especially neoprene). These products can be sprayed on boots periodically:
- 303 UV Protectant Spray
- Mclube Sailkote Spray
- Silicone spray (CRC, Berryman, etc.)
