I'm a new member and as soon as I figure out how to do it will get some pics posted, but in the mean time I have a question. I'm buying new shocks and I'm wondering, boots or no-boots?

I guess some people still like them. /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif
 
The weird thing is I get more comments when I wash the truck AND SHOCKS W/ BOOTS then when I just wash it. /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

They aren't chrome or anything, just 4" lift Rancho 9000's, in stock locations, mostly. /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Anyway, sometimes I think it will help dirt, water, ect...away from the piston, and then I look inside the boot and it kind of collects stuff. Who knows, just pick one. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

What do the shock boots do? Just for looks?

They serve two purposes mainly... 1) looks and 2) the collection of mud, sand, and water. Lose the boots if you actually plan to go offroad.
 
Okay I was just wondering because I don't have any on both trucks so I didn't want to damage anything. But if it's just the looks, then hell there no use
 
I used to run boots. I cut one open one day and it was full of water and mud. I decided right then and there to cut the rest off and leave them off.
 
cool now I can save that money and spend it on something else /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif not much but anything helps /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif
