Should I just go ahead and buy a remaned CV from Napa or just swap the boot?

KJ has 120,000 on her and this is the first this has happened...

FYI, OME/Bilstein lift with clevis and top plate... pretty much maxed out on lift.

I appreciate any and all comments and/or advice.

NAPA remanned , only 55 bucks or so, easy swap in and out
Anytime a boot tears you get some grit and grime in there and they start to wear so, swap time

Swap it the only time I dont just swap them is if I tear the boot or see it just about worn out and at the point I throughly clean everything in a parts washer and replace the grease with fresh.

Believe me it is extremely easy to replace especially if it is the drivers side. Passenger isn't always fun when having to separating the the half shaft from the CV. But with a little work and a lot of penetrating oil it isn't to bad.
