I ordered the suggested boots too. The ones for the front shocks fit fine. They went right over and covered the whole lower shock cylinder like you would want them to. The rears didn't do that. The bottom of the boot isn't large enough in diameter to go over the shock cylinder. I used them anyway since it was better than nothing. I think boots for the front would work for the back too but I don't think I'm going to pull them back out at this point. Maybe later.
