I Recently purchased a new Teraflex 3" Lift for my 2008 Rubicon Unlimited and I was wondering why none of the kits on the market today come with the shock boots included. I see the stock shocks have them but are not sealed at the bottom so they can breath. So what do all of you fellow jeepers think are they a requirement or just plain usless.

we cut mine off on install.
All they do is hide mud and dirt in them that you can't clean.

Mud retainers.

That's if you do all your play in mud......

I went for useless, traps do much dirt residue and prevent water from getting in a cleaning it off.

Rubicon Rando

100% useless, but i am in the great white north... salt and mud and crap just gets trapped in there and causes premature failure of the shocks

jeepik

useless

the problem i found is because of dirt and condensation that gets trapped in the shock boot, this leads to very early shock shaft rusting

i dont use them and never will

SASQUATCH

totally useless 1980's offroad "in-style" carry over that just won't die for some reason.

That said mine are on there cuz I grew up in the 80s...umm I mean I haven't cut them off yet......yeah...that reason

ToyFamily

I hate mud...but if it is part of the tail it must be done....let me rephrase....mud/water/dirt.
