    On the bilsteins that come with the new baja taco's there are 2 grooves in the shock body that you can place the retaining ring and lower spring seat in. Does anybody know how they come from the factory? Does the drivers side go in the top to battle the 'taco lean'? Don't want to go through the headache of putting them in and then pulling them to change clip positions.

    Also on a side note, if any of you guys have pulled yours, did you notice shock seal cracking/weathering at very low mileage?

    Thanks guys,

    Jamie

    As I understand it, you are correct.

    Do you actually know or are you just guessing?
    I'd like to hear from someone who actually knows.
    Thanks

    If you actually read the "Because Baja" thread you can learn everything you need... I have read it and I remember that being specifically talked about...
