Opinions please.. these Icons came with shock boots run them with or without?? I heard crap can get stuck up in there
TIA

 

Shock boots on if you run in mud/dirt a lot.

 

And I would say the opposite. No reason to trap more junk around the shock shaft and seal.

If you do run boots, make sure they have drainage holes on the bottom.

 

I've had mud and dust cake up on my motorcycle fork tubes because I didn't have fork boots and then after the mud dried it wore the seals out quite quickly. 's my $0.02 anyway.

 

i would be running mine if they where long enough for the shock they came on!!! after the third time of having to put them back on and digging out zip ties i just said FAWK it and cut them off.

 

I've never run boots, never had a problem. I have a box of them in the shed if anybody wants them.

 

I've been running my others without boots just keeping them rinsed off...seems to me like it would be more of a bitch keeping them cleaned off with the boots on..

 

All three of these had boots on.

 

Ohhhh that's ugly

 

I've got seal savers on my KTM.


However, that is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

 

Motorcycle forks are a different animal, generally just an O-ring or oil seal is all they have and yes they need boots to keep them clean. Shocks have a much heavier seal in them plus a scraper that cleans the crud off.

 

Not all vehicles are trashed after recovery lol. Luckily there's not much room in my cab

And you forget who I am...trashed? Chop it and tube, instant crawler.

Like I said, I don't care if my trucks a lawn ornament. I'm keeping it.

 

You have clearly never seen how people drive after a vehicle has been stolen.... Burn that mother fucker to the ground. by the time you wake up and start to track it it's been through hell and back. Just better to start over from new.

 

Best anti-theft device: manual transmission.

 

I don't know if I personally know any one who can't drive a stick. I mean I prolly do, but for the most part it's not that hard of a task.

 

From people I talk to in their 20's most can't drive stick.

 

Their parents should be ashamed. My wife is in her 20's and can drive a stick just fine.

 

It alerts me as soon as the truck moves, so it won't have time to go to hell and back. I'll be right on hells ass lol

The same person stole my grandmas car three times and never trashed it.

Don't worry homie, I got this!

 

How about any chrome RS5000?

 

Boots? they are all red. I think I may have tossed them over the summer now that I think about it.
