According to Bilstein the stickers on the shocks needs to be straight when installed, and that mean in my case boot down. Also boot down, keep oil on the seal at the top lubricating the rod. However people mount them both ways and it seems not to be a problem. I just followed Bilstein instructions.
@@BUTTEWORKS - Sorry, my mistake, please forgive me. just installed Bilstein 5100 on Silverado 3500. The 5100 shock orientation is not the same which has the boot up and the solid part of shock down. Obviously you have a different Bilstein model on a different truck.
Thank you 🤙
You're welcome.
Your Bilstein shock is upside down.
