Default Lowered car, keep blowing axles / ripping cv boots.

Ok so my ej is pretty low but it's not like ignorantly low. I'm not even on coilovers , tokico blues with tein springs.
Anyway I think I'm blowing axles too often for some reason. Not sure of the exact mileage but I'd have to guess around 20k on the right side before I replaced it ( and the boot is ripped now about 6k miles later). And the left side is pushing about 30k and the CV joint is starting to click.

How can I (if possible) remedy this? Camber kit? After market lcas? Ball joints? Getting ready to replace axles again and want it to be the last time for a long while.

I'm getting them from AutoZone


Shitty pic .
They lifetime warranty the axles from auto zone but also say they're refurbs. Guess that makes sense. Can't really speak for the quality although I bought axles for ny ranger thay
Was lifted 6in and it lasted the life of the truck.

doesn't look super low to me

my experience with the autozone axles is if you get 20k before they start making noise you are good, I have had a couple that were bad right out of the box, although I haven't had any of the boots go so not sure what cause that

I've purchased/used AutoZone "reman" axles and had no issues. Make sure they are seated properly.

I had tokico blues with tein s-techs on my EJ8 for years. Never had issues with my axels. I'm lower now than I was then. Still no issues. Been using autozone remans for years.
