Yeah I know what you mean. On my Fabtech lift and the Fabtech steering stabilizer, neither came with the boots. The only way for that to happen now would be to take the shocks off and add the boots. They never asked me at the 4x4 shop if I even wanted them when they installed the lift, and yes they are like $3 to $7 each depending on where you get them.

 

When I bought my Rancho's the boots came with the shocks. I see a lot of trucks without the boots so I don't know if absolutely necessary.
