I am putting my new Pro Comp shocks on the rusty old Ford & I cant decide if I want to run boots or not. Who runs boots on their shocks? & why or why not?

IMO don't run them. They just hold mud and crap in.

Boots look like poo. Keep the exposed shaft lubed at oil change intervals with WD or equivalent.

Yea what they already said. I ran shock boots until one got torn, when I removed them it was unbeleivable the ammount of crud inside. Start without them and save the life of your shocks
