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.

I think clearance on the upper a-arm could be a problem.
My fronts are mounted body down.

Thanks i knew you would come through for me HenryJ. I will turn them right side up. Another quick Question will a body lift make my truck ride rougher. I have had several people tell me that. Is this BS. Thanks again HenryJ.

A body lift is just that..a body lift. It doesn't affect the suspention, body roll maybe

Cranking the torsion bars will alter the ride, but as mentioned a bodylift will have nothing to do with ride quality.
