Default Bilsein 5100 steering stabilizers

Guys,
I have dual Bilstein steering stabs on order for my 2010 JK, however they do not come with dust covers.
Anyone know where I can get them, or at least know the proper size to get? Lengths/diameter????

Thanks in advance.

I'd go without any boots. My Bilsteins work awesome with no boots to hold all the water and dirt inside.

If you drink the Teraflex kool-aid, they claim a lot of stabilzers fail because the exposed rods get nicked by flying rocks on the road. The nicked up rod slowly takes out the seals as it compresses and extends causing leakage. Given the location of the stabilzer that sort of makes sense.

I'd go with a boot also, even if it is relocated.

Please follow up with how you like the dual stab setup. I have been kicking the tires on that myself.

I've been running dual Bilsteins for over 2 yrs, I think they're awesome.

It was originally Rough Country's dual set up. I kept the RC mounts, and replaced the leaky RC SS's with Bilsteins. Purchased the Original dual set up from RC, the Bilstein SS's from Northridge.
