Obviously you can go to any aftermarket web site and find tons of products for your jeep............most of which you probably don't need. But then again it's fun to spend $$$ on the Jeep .

Shock Boots? I can see the rational to these, but being a newbie I'm questioning it. Are shock boots something we really need or are they mainly just fluff? I recall having many dirt bikes in the past......some with shock boots & some without. The ones that had the boots always ended up getting ripped or torn off. I would speculate the same applies here.

Just curious

 

My shock boots were thrown in the trash as my shocks were installed. I can see wanting to use them maybe if you live in the rust belt portion of the country, but I don't live there so this would just be a guess.

 

shock boots are for wussies come on now

 

My general rule is if they are standard shocks (tube down, shaft up) I won't use them. If they are inverted (shaft down, tube up) I would use them to protect the shaft from rocks.

 

Running in the sand dunes all the time.. I run them... Saves the shafts and seals..

 

Shock boots trap dirt and moisture, causing rust to develop.

 

I can see that... But the constant sand blasting.. Got to have them... Usually have to replace the boots at least twice a year.. They even get tore up by the sand..

 

Thanks for the input..............I figured that was a poser thing

 

I done it with and without boots, never seen any difference...

 

You can make a good argument for them if you never wheel in mud or water, but if you DO get your Jeep wet and/or muddy, the boots are just going hold crud in and cause premature rust/ruin.
