Lower ball joints (grease exposed)

What's up guys,

Any of you with lift-kits noticed your lower ball joints may have grease exposed at the rubber boots?

Just noticed it on mines and not sure if I should be super concerned about it?

I have a 3" lift FYI.

Mine had that before I upgraded my lower control arms. I wasn't to concerned with it as the ball joint is never going to be fully sealed due to the design. As long as there's some grease in there it should seal well enough to hold up. Eventually it'll fail but not likely very rapidly.
