I just recently did this. I bought the Alex Ferarra boot set from Applied GMC and followed the installation instructions. I used the CV joint grease that came with the boot. Very happy with the product:

The lower connection to the steering box can easily be off a spline or even two if you are not careful. It is not on right unless you can slide a 29/64" drill bit through the hole for the clamp bolt. If that drill bit does not go through (the smooth end) it is not lined up correctly. It is a PITA to get it lined up right and I had to walk away from it after the first half dozen attempts. When I went back to it, it went on correctly the second try.
