Generally everyone just reuse the stock dust boots since they work so well but I am sure there are some other aftermarket options out there. I am assuming you are not using the factory boots because you don't have them or they got messed up in disassembly?

If not let me know. I have a handful of those factory dust boots laying around and I would be happy to send you out a pair if you covered the shipping cost. Let me know.

FYI, the factory front shock dust boots also contains the bumpstops, so unless you have a extra set of bumpstops then you'll need to disassemble the stockers.

PM sent.

I bought replacements from rock auto they had ten listed under shock bellow and included the bump stop. I pre assembled my shock/spring/mount/isolator to make the swap quicker. It all neede to be replaced anyway.

So I can use those shock bellows with my shocks instead of the old boots? Also did you happen to find the cap that goes on the bumpstop?
