Hello guys and gals. Quick question for everyone. What is your opinion on shock boots. I've always ran them to keep the dirt away from the seals but I've seen them also hold alot of mud and water.

So what's your thoughts and how do you do it. To boot or not to boot?

Thanks

I've run Rancho's both booted and unbooted. I think it really depends on it's use. I hate Mud, specifically Owyhee Gumbo. It's slick, sticky, and gets everywhere. In fact, I unbooted the Rancho's after cleaning mud from an Oregon Trail trip. The 62 Series is unbooted in the front and current booted in the rear.

Thanks David for the responce. Our mud is the same slick and sticky. We are going on a 10 day trip to Utah in may and just trying to figure out if i should run the boots or not.
