RJSquirrel Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You can, but the life of the seals, and hence the shocks, will be reduced. Boots should be something that can be ordered separately, or even universal style units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I currently have the KYB's and preffer the look w/o the boots. It's a topic that has seperate opinions on these boards. Some members will tell you that the boots will tear and actually trap small rocks and grit which will cause harm on the seals. I fall in the "no boot necessary" category.

I dont think I can wait another two weeks for the boot to come to my door. Its been too long, I want to have it done finally. But, that was my concern about some dirt could get in there, but I am going to take my chenses. Trully I prefer w/o the boot myself. It wil look good when you flex. Thank you guys, for a good tips.
