Bilstein 5100 Install Questions

[-CoStep-]

Alright guys so i just pulled the plug on a set of 5100s for my front end. My question to you guys is what is the best way to install these? Any tips or tricks to make it easier on me? i pulled my stock shocks out over the weekend and wanted to put my extenders on them.. they were pretty shot so i just put them back in and ordered the 5100s. i will say it was a pain trying to get the shock installed with the extenders due to room so i just put the stock back in with no extender. Thanks for any help. really my first time doing shocks and i know these are a bit taller.

Just keep them compressed and slide in place. Takes a little effort to push the shock to bottom out.

And also what size is the top and bottom shock bolt/nut i completely forgot to check this morning before i left for work. i need to grab some tools while im here.

mine were compressed when I got them. I had to put it in there and put on the top nut and then pull the shock down into place for the bolt at the bottom.
