Leave them on. I have never had stuff get trapped in there as long as the boots are securely fastened to the shock body using zipties. With out the boots you risk pitting the shafts from rocks and pitted shafts will eventually rip the seals inside of the shock essentially shortening the life of the shock considerably.

. . .So, I came across the Rancho 9000's and their offer with the MyRide wireless thing. I got the set for just hair over $300 and the controller.
I love the 9000 shocks..I find myself adjusting almost daily depending on my mood, my passengers or whatever I have in the bed. They really are great when you can stiffen up the rear a little when you have some extra weight back there. Mostly during the week, I keep them really stiff like a truck should feel. Then on the weekends, I loosen them up so I dont rattle the wife's teeth..haha.

Search it because I don't want to be held accountable for this
if it isn't right. But I'm pretty d*** sure it's true and someone else will chime in. Not sure on the different brands though.

I originally tried to purchase the Bilsteins last year...twice, but no luck. Two different places (one recommended here often) took my order then after a week of waiting for shipping info, told me they didnt have them in stock.

I've heard just order shocks for a 2500, the shocks will mount and are exactly 2" longer than 1500 shocks.
