Mount boots down may seem backwards to what you're replacing. Can only mount 1 way as lower is sleeved and upper is only bushing. Stickers are correct when installed correctly or upside down as many point out.Good shock. Don't over think the install people.

If looking for Bilstein Shocks, this is the place to go!

Installation on 2000 f250 SD 4X4Perfect fit at near stock height with room for lift in the future. Completely changed the ride characteristics of the truck. Rides so MUCH BETTER Can't say enough about the investment in the ride quality.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Greatly improved the ride.

It's a bilstein shock so surprise that it's top quality. Made big difference from the stock shocks much better control even while towing trailer.

Great item wish they would include directions of boot down or up for the weekend mechanic.

Great shocks, really improved the ride quality. Used with 4 Pro comp leaf springs in a 02 f350.

2002 Ford Excursion. Very smooth, easy to install. Wish I'd done this sooner!

These are great shocks for heavier tires and wheels, and lifts. I got these longer shocks after a lift and I do have to say they aee much stiffer than the Bilstein 4600 shocks I previously used. More of a truck ride than a car ride in my 2005 Excursion. Nonetheless, they do they job and are Billstein quality. Compressing these shocks for mounting takes more muscle than I have. But I have a jack.
