I think i put my front shocks on wrong!!!!!

:?: I ordered the Heavy Duty Bilstien shocks and installed them yesterday. The back are idiot proof but the front not so much. I was wondering if i put them on the wrong way? The rubber boot is on the bottom. Is that right or are they upside down? If they are why does it matter.

Good choice on the shocks! Make sure you relocate your rear differential vent and a new vacuum case transfer switch if those haven't already been done previously, they are apt to fail and cause problems and should be at the top of the list. I looked in the mod section but couldn't find the one on t...
