Take the boots off!

That stupid boot will fill with mud and then ruin the seal on the shock. I removed mine after about 6 months of being on and it was full of mud.
My shock is toast, it has about 3-4 inches of play in and out. This is what the shock is supposed to absorb (bumpsteer).
I even tried to ensure that the boot "holes were aligned to allow proper drainage... Nope, shock ruined.

The boot serves no purpose other than asthetics in the location it resides, and you can't even see it with the stock or SR plates. Take it off, or replace the shock every summer.

Psst, and oils will drain all over it during oill changes and make that pretty red boot quite sexy once it's covered in brown oil.

Hey Todd, EOE makes great stuff for the Xterra.I have a few things from EOE on mine.The Idler arm brace,t-bars and soon steering shock.As soon so mi brackets come in.I got everything else even the rancho steering shock but the brackets.My parts guy said that EOE will ship them out to him soon.Still waiting on them.
I dont know if it is you that is looking after my order or not.
Do you recall looking after an order going to Eastern Edge Off-road in St Johns ,Newfoundland,Canada?
Is there a way you can check on it for me.
