ball joint boots?
Ever since i lowered my 4x4 ive been having problems with the boot on the drivers side upper ball joint staying on because of the different angle and i keep having to shove it back on and grease gets all over the inside of my rims. Is there a easy fix? Should i get some polyurethane boots?

you lowered a 4wd truck? The best fix would be to raise it back up and purchase a 2wd truck to lower. less headaches

my bad, even if i did don't 2wds have ball joints too? I was wondering if the polyurathane boots were more flexible then the rubber ones.

Yes they have ball joints, but they don't have that pesky front wheel drive axle which allows for more movement.
