CV Axel leak after King 2.5 install

[ArnoldN.]

So I installed King 2.5s on my 2024 Tacoma and noticed my driver side axel started to leak some grease. I took it to Toyota and because of the suspension I was told it wouldn’t be cover (understandable). I guess I’m a little caught off guard because I haven’t seen anyone have issues with the CV axels or mention installing a kit to lower then to a more natural angel. Toyota is recommending a replacement and that I look into getting a kit to lower the angle of the axel. Center hub to fender before install was 21 1/2 in and now I’m at 23 1/2. Any advice ?

Not that this may be applicable, however one of my previous SxS's was a Honda Talon 1000R. I purchased new Eibach springs for it and had someone replace them, however I later discovered that hey installed the springs completely incorrectly. During the timeframe that they were installed incorrectly, the rear axles, (CV's based axles) was constantly popping off the rubber boot, and causing dirt to get into the housing. After I fixed all of the springs myself, the rear axle (boot/cover) never popped off again. I surmised that because of the extreme angle (additional height due to incorrect springs in the rear) caused this. I'm not suggesting that this is your issue, but certainly made me aware of having too much suspension, lift in this case. Not sure if this in any way translates to what your experiencing, but thought I'd share my particular experience none the less.

Can you share any pictures of the axle/grease/etc.?
