In my opinion, the best stretchable boots are made by dorman. You can order at your local auto parts store. These will only work for the outside joint...the one next to the wheel. The generic stretch boot will not work for the inner joint because of the shape of the joint. In some ways, I think the stretch boots last longer because they are more flexible. However, not as strong if something gets flipped up and hits the boot. It is really not hard to pull the shaft and you may find it easier to slip the boot on with the driveshaft on the bench.
