Turbo Boot Upgrade?

So Im towing my trailer down the freeway yesterday and a BOOM! so the truck slows to 40mph and I notice I have no turbo boost. I pull over and find the fwd lower blue boot on the turbo duct is blown off. So I re secure the clamp and all is well. My question is this. I have a 2003 with 40K miles, Its not boosted or anything, but I dont like problems so I want to change out all the boots and clamps. Is there a better option than stock that someone has used and can recommend? When I replace things I like to use the best avail, so Im thinking there has to be upgraded boots and better clamps?

Riff Raff. X3. Clay runs a stand up business and even comes around here every so often.

Another vote for Riffraff diesel boots. Running them for over 5 years on 3 of my trucks with no issues. I ran a different set from Dieselsite before but they started coming apart inside. Riffraff boots are my recommendation for sure...
