Disco Bristol:
Boots or No Boots on shocks?

I have just fitted new ProComp Shocks and I left the boots off for now untill I decide whats best.

Colin 009:
from what I've read no boots is best.

clbarclay:
I currently run with no boots on the front, as the shock tower does a good job of protecting them from soild objects.

On the rear I have fitted the boots as the shafts are very exposed, but have not rip tied them on. This means every so often, like once a week or after a wet conditions (wading or puddles) I can easily lift the bottom of the boot and let the water out.

Budgie:
Well, I had boots on the rear and removed them cos there was some mud & water etc retained in the bottom of the boot.
Since then the top of the shafts, that don't get used that much, have started to rust a bit with the salt air we have up here. Before I removed the boots they were fine, no rust at all.  :?

Not worth putting a new set of boots on now but I will be keeping them on the next set of shocks I get.  :wink:

PUX:
