rancho shocks installation

Post by will1551 »

i just picked up some new rancho RS5000 today for the front of my truck, but the thing is i cant find any instructions on how to mount them. so does anyone know if you mount them inverted or upright and if you can mount them with the shock boots on?

With Bilstiens, the boots are up on the front. They can be mounted with boots in place.
