Front Driveshaft

I was under the disco lubing my ds u-joints and slip joint and I realized the rubber boot was torn all to hell and grease was sprayed all over the front cross member. It appears that the ds hits the cross member at full droop and the rubber boot gets cut in the process. Is there a way that I can replace this boot and is it even worth it? I'm trying to avoid the 3-400 dollar expense of an aftermarket ds to replace it, but a woods double double cardon shaft would be nice...

'03, and lifted ~4". As far as I can tell I've rarely if ever gotten the ds to contact the cross member while driving off road. I have gotten it to contact heavily while lifting the truck by the sliders and having the front susp go full droop; however there is far more damage to the rubber boot than two full droop lifts could do.
I never measured the Rover stock... whats a good ballpark measurement for ground to fender well for a stock truck? That would help me nail down what my actual lift is. Big enough!

The lift is probably a topic for another thread; I'd rather stay on topic. My ds angle isn't too large to warrant the extra u-joint up front quite yet and have experienced no ill effects stemming from the lift after ~10k miles other than this torn boot.
Is it replaceable?
