Gary: Acceptable to me. I cut all 4 in half to prevent this binding and bunching up. Seems to work just fine.

I'm no mechanic, is cutting the boots a acceptable?

When we were taking measurments on my set I removed the boot . As a bit of experiment to see what would happen if the shaft was left exposed to the elements I left it off . So far that shock has performed as well as the other 3 and there have been so seal issues etc. I think that cutting the boot if necessary will not cause a problem and will not void the warrenty.
