Do I have a problem???

I just got my 6" Fabtech Lift put on last week and today I noticed something about the shocks. I'm not sure what its called but it looks like the piece I'm talking about has came loose and fell down. I dont know if it's a big problem or if I can just leave it the way it is. So I was hoping someone on here could help me. Thanks in advance guys.

The way it looks on the passenger side:


The way it looks on the driver side:

Oh I'm sorry it just dropped down, that just protects your shock from getting dirt and debris insid of it while it contracts. They are really cheap.

Where would I get a "dust boot" at? Or do you think I should take it back to the shop I had install the lift and have them fix it? Is it something I need to get fixed ASAP or can it wait?

Just slide it back up and put a zip tie on it, problem solved.

And no, it's not a big deal at all..

Or cut them both off. A lot of people believe they trap mud, dust and water, which leads to rust.
