MOUNTING INSTRUCTION

IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST
Installation of shock absorbers requires special tools and expert knowledge. Accordingly,
installation of all BILSTEIN products must be performed by a qualified suspension specialist.
Always use a chassis hoist for the installation of BILSTEIN products and make certain that the
raised vehicle is securely attached to the hoist and/or supported to prevent the vehicle from
slipping, falling, or moving during the installation process.
If you choose to install any BILSTEIN product without the necessary special tools,
expertise or chassis hoist, you may subject yourself to the risk of serious bodily injury or
death. If you elect not to use a chassis hoist, at least make sure the vehicle is on level ground,
that all tires on the ground during installation are blocked to prevent movement, that at least two
tires are on the ground at all times, and that adequately secured safety stands (jack stands) are
used to support the chassis. NEVER get under the vehicle until you have checked to make sure
all of these steps are performed.

CAUTION!!!
Before disassembling the front suspension, refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s Service
Manual for proper procedures. The coil spring is preloaded and must be compressed with
a spring compressor to release load before the upper mount is disassembled. Failure to
follow the vehicle manufacturer’s procedures may cause serious injury or death, and may
damage the vehicle.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTION
1.

Disassemble front shock and coil spring according to vehicle manufacturer’s procedures.

2.

Slide the bellows dust cover assembly upwards off of the new shock, and install the spring seat as shown.

3.

Ensure that the groove inside the spring seat fits over the circlip on the shock body.

IMPORTANT:
PLACE CIRCLIP IN APPROPRIATE GROOVE TO ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT.
Use appropriate tools to move the circlip. Ensure that the circlip is fully seated in the groove after moving it (you should
be able to rotate it manually in the groove). Install the spring seat in the direction shown only. The circlip must fit
completely in the groove inside spring seat (A). Improper installation will cause permanent damage to the shock!

0.5” (12.7mm) AVERAGE LIFT**

1.0” (25.4mm) AVERAGE LIFT**

1.50” (38.1mm) AVERAGE LIFT**

2.0” (50.8mm) AVERAGE

**BOTTOM CIRCLIP GROOVE IS FOR STOCK RIDE HEIGHT ONLY**

** Ride heights indicated are typical. Actual ride height is influenced by which factory suspension the vehicle is equipped with
and its condition; optional equipment and accessories on your vehicle, and other vehicle modifications such as replacement coil
springs, wheel and tire combinations, etc.
Modifying/lifting the suspension to your vehicle may raise its center of gravity and may make it more susceptible to
loss of control and/or rollover, which may result in death or serious injury. We strongly recommend that you offset the
loss of rollover resistance as much as possible by increasing tire track width, and that you equip the vehicle with a
functional roll bar and cage system. Wear seat belts and shoulder harnesses at all times, and avoid situations where a
side rollover may occur.
