No such thing as a dumb question. But it looks like quadzjr did give you a dumb answer

I wouldn't worry about the boots either but it may void your warranty depending on the manufacturer...

I did not know it the metal part on the shocks would rust, or dirt get in there and cause it to get down into the chock after time or what not....

It seems to me that a number of folks I've spoken with reciently feel that shock boots trap contaminents and accelerate corosion. I am looking at new shocks (trying to decide) and I will not use shock boots on the new shocks
