*HELP* with strut boots and bumpstops!

Ok, I'm about to tackle this project this Sunday but a little concerned with these boots. The length of these boots are JUST long enough to cover the shaft but there's not enough slack that I can zip-tie it on the bottom. Here are pics of the rears.





Also, the fronts are the same story. I don't have enough slack to zip tie the bottom. Here's a pic.



These bump stops are the lowest it can go before being stopped by that stopper. I also read that the boots just hang like the way it is in the pictures. Is that true?

Any advice?

The bump stop need to sit under the lip on the strut shaft. That will give you plenty of room to zip tie and don't be afraid to pull them down a bit. The strut/shock will compress some when the car is lowered.
