Rancho 9000's might have been an oops
I installed Rancho 9000's on our Dodge 3500 about 12,000 miles ago. 4000 miles hauling our single slide 9ft camper / towing, 3000 other miles towing cargo/flatbeds, and about 800 miles towing our Car...

Well other than the effort of replacing, @300-400 dollars I'd go warranty-obviously at 12000 something askew-if they fail again at 12000-then I'd consider switching brands.
As too boots I run em-to protect the shafts. A block from the beach I get more rust from nightly exposure than holding water- I dont zip tie to body, run loose and will usualy use a hole punch on lower bellows to ensure drainage.. Ive never lost shock due to rust but have to dings on shaft. but first thing I do is throw away boots also-to swap for black.
