I have not had experience with the Dobinson boots. I have seen videos where they are stretched on but I don't know how long they last. I have seen friends' Toyotas with the "red" boots and they seem like quality units, but certainly more expensive.
I have done this on several different Toyotas and not noticed any vibration from the boot. The biggest problem I see from lifting the suspension is alignment issues and tire wear.
Im lifted on my fj 2.5 inch, and everything seems fine in terms of alignment. However, i will try this techniques later since the clamp i bought from toyota would not fit on my CV boot. Thanks dude!
As the CV axles are rotating in high Speed, using hose clamps for CV is not a good idea because the protruding screw will induce unbalanced centrifugal force to result in vibration. Use a long zip tie may be better.
Good point, and that is why I put a screw on opposite sides. Zip ties may work as I have used them on ball joints, but I personally have had bad luck with zip ties on rotating parts.

Exactly what I needed man. Thank you!
Glad to help! The job doesn't cost too much, but it takes some time.
do you have vibration issues? many people have issues using pipe clamps. the added weight cause axle vibrations
No issues. My experience is combining two into one and placing the screws on opposite sides addresses that concern.
How does this Porsche boot compare to the dobinson off-road “stretchy” CV boot specifically made for the 4Runner and I assume the FJ as well?

Hey! Any vibration on that clamp? It seems very difficult for other cv boot clamp to use. This one probably the most easiest way to tight that boot!

@@bryntheexplorer1426 good to hear. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for that wrong answer Mingyang1922, Zip ties are a terrible idea
all boots have 2 clamps no?
Yes, I combined two clamps at each point on the boots. Thanks for watching!
Fire video!
Thanks 🔥
