Size of washersand boots needed for rusty's rear shocks?

Before I jump into this install and I did not get the rsx17004 rear shocks(will try the Rusty shock), what size washers will I need to space the upper shock mount correctly? Will I even need the washers?

I think those should be 3/8", and yes you'll need them or you'll crush the upper shock mounts in.

Also, I forgot to get boots for the rear shocks. What length will suit it better, 9.5" or 12.5" boot?

you dont really need them ,looks only
the shock boots have holes in them and the front rancho struts dont have them
shocks with "hard boots" are really open on 1 end

just sayin dont waste the $$ unless you really want to

What happens if you crush them? Will they make noise and then eventually break off?

A nuclear war caused by an extreme number of F Bombs getting launched from your mouth, I am just guessing.

I better doulbe check mine, a friend tightened up the shocks for me when doing the lift and I'm not sure if he crushed them or not. I have skyjacker shocks so not sure how they needed the washers or not.
