Default 2008 Silverado 1500 LT Z71 -- CV boot busted

I was getting my tires rotated and was told that my CV boot was busted a little and was slinging some grease. He said it wasn't too bad though.

I have watched videos on taking care of this, but I have a 2" RC leveling kit on the front. How does this change the process of repairing? Do I need a mechanic to handle it?

What is my best route here? Thanks everyone.

Same process as if it were stock. Take tire off, and unbolt the cv from the differential, then unbolt if from the hub(there's a dust cap over the bolt) and once it's undone, you can wiggle the cv out of there, may have to take the sway bar link off to make room. Then replace with a new one and bolt everything back up
