I have Bilstein 5160/6112s on my Tacoma, they came with no boots. Their shafts are exposed for everyone to see. The Kings on my old Ranger were without boots too. My wife's Jeep came with the stock Rubicon shocks and we found out quickly, that the only thing worse than the OEM TRD Offroad "Bilsteins" are the OEM Jeep Rubicon "Shocks"....
I ordered Bilstein 5100s for all 4 corners, but they come with some disco truck-looking black boots. Bilstein is dragging to answer me, so, for those of you who have run either 5100's or 4600's, did you run them without boots? If you did run them without boots, did you notice any pitting or corrosion that seemed premature?
I won't even ask on the JL Wrangler forums, because someone from South Florida is undoubtedly going to show me a picture of their body color-matched boots on their dual shock setup.
