Question about lower ball joint boots - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys I have a 66 burb with ART strong arms and bags and I can't keep boots on lower ball joints. I changed them twice in a year and they keep tearing off. Any suggestions or tricks out there?
Thanks, Nobby

They are getting cut when you air it out is my guess. Take a look at it in several ride heights and aired out and try and see where the pinch point is. A little dressing with a grinder may fix it.
