So, the salty, slushy water can't break the impermiable barrier that is the shock boot?George2 said:If you live anyplace where salt gets used on the roads during wintertime, then "Boot Up" Cowboy.
Salt tends to get into places where dirt never had a clue to go, and then it just fouls up shock seals and such- I just finished a 4.5" lift, and you wouldn't believe the oily "sauce" that bled out from the trashed seals when I pulled those old junkers out. they never got bent or twisted, so i can only assume that the salt ate my stuff up.
Boots are cheap money, and can't possibly hurt anything to put on. Besides, they have mucho "Bling" factor, and can only glean compliments for pennies on the dollar.... LOL!

Save your money.
What makes them so crappy, that you want them to go out so you can spend more money on shocks?williamk53 said:I got mine for free. I'll leave 'em on in hopes that they'll make my ProCraps crap out sooner so I'll have an excuse to replace 'em.
