Default Shock boots

My buddy has some left over shock boots from his lift, 4 of them. I was debating of putting them on mine but my friend told me not too because debris can get trapped. I'm confused?

yeah you dont need them they're just for looks. apparently they cause even more corrosion because all the muck gets trapped in there. I'll be ripping the ones off my brand new bilsteins as soon as they arrive. looks better without anyway IMO

It depends where your stomping ground is, if you're out in the desert doin' some baja ****, boots dont really help or hurt. If you like to play in the swamp they'll fill up real quick and keep what ever swamp muck you picked up!

like previously said, shock boots do have their place. but for the average guy, you are better off not using them.
