    To Boot or Not to Boot...

    What's the consensus on Rubber Shock Boots? My Bilsteins didn't come with them, so i bought some. But on the front I am really working through all my travel when I disconnect my sway bar, so they yank off on one end when the axle droops and get smashed on the other side when fully stuffed...
