I have very little clearance between the lower arm and the CV boot. At full droop the hose clamp worm gear/bolt was hitting the arm and popping the boot off. Yeah, CV clamps are cool and they work AWESOME!
I had to also do something with my inner boot. I had the f-150 boot OVER the CV. It worked but there is do ridges to hold the boot on. I bought some bolt on flanges that are the same diameter as the CV. The socket head cap screws were a little too tall as the axle would hit the bolt heads at full droop. Well, I had an idea, I rounded the heads of the bolts and it works awesome! Now it has a proper flange and also gets the CV boot out a little bit and I think it will be easier on the boot as well.
I also played with the bypasses. One thing I noticed was my last adjustment didnt do tto much. I think my shim stack in the coilover is too big now, not allowing the bypass to really do it's job. Looks like I will be messing with the valving a little bit. Maybe not...LOL.
