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!

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.

** 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.
