Thread: Can Bilsteins be mounted upside down?

Reason I was looking at running upside down is that the fatter sleeve which goes over the rod section hits on a bolt at the bottom of the spring mount. I think this is due to the angle of ration of the axle because of he spring lift. The other end of the shock is skinnier so it fits.

So take the rod cover off and use rubber concertina tubes instead......

Fronts I'd just leave nekid
Rears need shaft protection if inverted (eg. Land Cruiser rears used on a Land Rover)
