Hi.
If you have installed the ProComp ES 9000 white shocks that come with the rubber boots....I'd HIGHLY reccomend that you inspect what's underneath your rubber boots.
I just looked at the rubber boots on my ProComp shocks...and they were FILLED with brown rusty water. Turns out that the rubber boots tend to collect rainwater, and because the bottom of the boot is sealed tight against the shock, there is no place for the water to go...thus causing a big rust potential on the shock itself.
I simply cut my rubber boots right off and threw them away after noticing this water and rust. But you may be able to cut a series of drain holes in the bottom of the boot for water to drain. I didn't think of doing that until AFTER I had already cut them off.
So I would very much suggest inspecting your rubber boots...you may be surprised at what you find under there !!
