Bilstein Boots

I'm getting ready to install a set of Bilstein shocks.
From the looks of them, the boots are on the bottom?
So Question: Are they installed with the BOOTS an the BOTTOM?
Part # F4-BE5-2818-HO
-2819-
Thanks.

Thanks Vit.
I just thought it was a little odd because all the aftermarket shocks I see
have the boot on the top.

I would imagine that it's done to eliminate unsprung weight. Basically the weight there is below your springs(tires, wheels, axles, shocks, etc), the worse your truck will ride.

I've been seeing a lot of upside down shocks lately.
