Default Re: Shocks : Boots or No Boots that is the question?

Boots are a good idea for a lot of DD, though. The main reason would be on the off chance you sling a rock or some other debris into the rod and ding it. That's about the biggest benefit to them.

Shocks work like any other hydraulic ram system and you don't see heavy equipment running boots to cover the cylinder rams to keep them clean. I think on trucks it's a combo of looks and slight protection.
