Instructions for adjustable bilstein 5100's

o.b. · 11-30-2007, 09:11 PM

I just received my new shocks but they did not come with instructions on how to install. I'm sure I can figure it out but I would rather have some instructions. If anyone has these shocks, can you please give a quick run down on how to install. I think all I need is to lift the front of the truck and remove the shock and spring as an assembly and install new shock and spring as an assembly, am I correct? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

i an not a expert
but i am pretty sure you will need a real healthy spring compressor

so i would not do anything till you get a reply from someone that is qualified
as faking it with a cheap spring compressor could cause great harm
i was reading one form and they suggested you go to a shop and have that part done by a pro
