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!

No.
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?
