Aside from the stock dust boots, another option is the KYB dust boot,
which happens to include an integrated bumpstop.  I ordered these from the
Tire Rack for $10 each, s/h was about $8 for all 4.  I already installed
one set on our Maxima with KYB GR2 struts, and they were substantially
thicker than the OEM boots, feels similar to a CV boot.  I definitely
would not leave the shafts exposed.

I wish I could tell you if they fit inside the GCs.  The height should be
fine as the base of the boot straps around the lower shaft housing.
