Experts - does flipping the CVs help in this case? Or am I thinking of something else that gets flipped (ball joints?)?
Yes, you are thinking of the ball-joint flip, which may or may not help with aligning your VX after the lift.

Ascinder's CV boots most likely tore because his lift (which is roughly 1-2"s more than mine) put his CV joints at an extreme angle, which will eventually cause them to tear. My lift (OME 912s with about 10-12 cranks of the torsion bars) was much less than Ascinder's, and my CV boots seem to be ok, for the moment. CrnCnn has the same lift as me and his tore. I think it also depends on how dry rotted your boots are also...
