bilstein shocks, boot up or down...?

[fishmanwill]

Do I mount the shocks with the boots up or down? There are no directions.
Thanks,

Will

Pretty sure it`s down.

down.......so any water or debries that gets inside the boot will not be against the shock shaft seal

Don't wanna ruin the shafts for sure

Bilstein told me "Install the shocks so the label is right side up, if the label is upside down you have the shock on wrong".

The first thing I do is pull the boots off. All they do is catch and hold debris. Others will say different, but that is the ongoing debate lol.
