IMPORTANT!
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, 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.
