Outer Limits 4x4 Board

they seem to just be storing mud which to me would just be detrimental to keeping them all good condition and shiat.

whats the thoughts on this one

Sam

yeah funny how that happens, but try and get warranty on one without fitting them. damned if ya do and damned if ya don't

personally i'd leave em off

yeah i'm thinking keeping them clean will be the winner

i'm also facing this dilema. was thinking of using moto fork boots

Why not sheild them?

It keeps stones and the like off the shaft, but can't hold mud or water in.

Leave them off......I used to just run them without a zip tie, so they could easily be cleaned out when washing the truck. Which worked for a while, but eventually the boot rubbing up and down on the shock body caused all the paint to come off around there and start rusting.

Got rid of the boots all together and never looked back and done the same with any new shocks since.

Yep another vote for no boots here.

what he said. you need something to protect the shaft from getting chipped with stones which will then cut the seals n shiz otherwise they leak and are farkt.

I think it is bilstein that use the sliding plastic shield .. I have Rancho's and just run em without .. the lux is to gutless to throw stones

i run my pro comps without

My koni's have either steel shields (front twin tube) or plastic shields (rear gas/hydraulic).

The fronts are shielded by the shock turrets anyway, but there's no way I'd run the rears without a shield.
