To boot or not to boot...

To boot or not to boot...
Got my set of front and rear Rancho 9000's delivered and will install them in the morning.
However, I've been looking them over for a while now and am wondering about the boots.
They look to me like a recipe for disaster. That is, they seal at the bottom with a zip tie, but at the top, they are rather open. There aren't any drain holes at the bottom, either.
This means that any water or abrasives (mud, sand) that get in through the top of the boot will collect at the bottom of the boot and potentially damage the plunger rod.
So I'm thinking of leaving the boots off altogether.
What do you think?
