I just got a brand new set of fox shocks. I don't want to run a rubber boot but I don't want to leave them naked either. What should I do?

wax em! (the bodies). boots are for XXXX
dont worry bout the shafts unless you're rallying in gravel (in which case, why are you here posting this?, figure out a mudflap)
waxing the bodies really helps keep em looking good, otherwise they go downhill like anything else in the wheel well.

I have waxed them 10 times....I just love to touch them...... I just feel bad leaving them naked. I know they are going to get a flogging in the wheel well. I was thinking something that velcro'd on maybe

if it makes you feel better, the boots will collect mud anyways.
i understand your want to keep em looking good, after the buy-in price. but they do keep pretty clean for me! i take em off whenever im in the area and clean em up a lil bit, they look great! only damage is dings to the aluminum housing for the lower rod end, its mostly white! shafts are good and seal well. this is after 3 years of abuse (limit strapping off them so much as to rip sheet metal up top)

That is reassuring to hear. I know this is the wrong thread but how should I set up limit straps. One in the center or on both sides? I have re radius arms btw

rustoleum is your friend, repaint when the bodies start to rust out.

God would strike me down if I did that to a new fox shock.
