I don't have boots on any of my shocks. Should I?

 

Me neither!!!!

 

I think if you do a lot in mud or dusty conditions, it will help keep it a little cleaner.

 

I guess it depends on where you live and what kinda offroading you do. I live in the humid south, no shock boots for me. Had some on my CJ for a couple months , ripped one, noticed corrosion , cut the other ones off and had no probs after that. Was able to clean them better and for them to dry out. If you live and wheel in a humid enviornment, definately a no-no. Hell my new bilstein shock boots jumped right off after I cut the strap for shipping. They musta Knew they were in south Louisiana!

 

I have run them both ways..no real difference that I noticed...

 

I did read somwhere that the boots need to be neon pink to work correctly.

 

none for me going strong for about 5000 miles

 

Think about it, do you really want a boot, that keeps most dirt out, but when you bury your Jeep in mud, sand, dirty water, having that same boot hold dirt/mud/muck against your shock?

 

I dont like boots on

 

Dont have them either, they eventually rip anyway.
