Now it really doesn't matter which way you mount them, they will function just as well either way. I like them with the boot down so it drains any water that gets in rather than holding it.

Shock mounting
Just got this return email from Bilstein on how to mount the shocks. Read below.
Look at the shock and locate the light blue band on the tube the spells out Bilstein. If you can read that right side up then that's how the shock should be installed. Do not use air tools it will void the warranty.
