Poly Ball Joint & Tie Rod Boots

Are the poly ball joint and tie rod boots even worth installing? I have all new Moog rod ends, ball joints etc but I also have this Hyperflex poly kit that came with these poly boots. Just wanted some opinions on if I should just leave them off or go through the trouble of trying to get that ring off + new rubber boot.

Leave the oem boots on, they seal better with the ring than the poly boots will.

I changed all my boots to poly before going R&P.....still running them on the outer tierod ends.
They seem to work fine.Although I agree the clamped on,stock boots will probably be better,if they are in good shape....mine were wasted.
