Swing axle boots
 
Replaced my boots November of 2012. Just noticed that one is already split
at the top.

I know I didn't buy bargain-basement. Wish I could remember where I bought
'em!

Can anyone recommend who sells boots that last?

Swing axle boots
 
Chris,

Did you have the bolt seam at the top?

That seam should be placed at either 9 O'clock or 3 O'clock (fore or aft), so it does not bend so much as the axle works up and down. They last longer that way.
