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.
