question :Jimny +3" FRONT procomp ES1000 shock

hi,
my fronts shocks absorbers are destroy. So i bought ( jimnybits ) jimny +3" FRONT procomp ES1000 shock.

But, should I keep Shock Boots or not ???

Thanks for reply

Someone told me they hold the mud IN the boot, I dont know as i havnt had any real offroading done!

Do you have rear boots?

I have always ben told the boots hold the mud in and rust out the shocks

Ive still got mine on


Err mainly cos they "look" better! :blush:

thanks for reply

i have only bought front shocks absorbers, cause my rear are still alive

I hope these are Soft and comfortable

A+

i kept mine on to just every now and again ill clean them out

My car came with pro-comps on and they had clearly been on the car a while and 2 or so years later they are still on, still working fine with no rust or scoring on the shafts, no leaks and they've never had boots on.

So I would go with the advice of leaving them off.

I can imagine that moisture would stay in those boots for a long time and removing them to clean them must be a ball ache.
