Thanks for making that call, I just wasn't sure which way was correct mounting, most shocks I've seen (and had previously installed) I mounted like you did.
Swamp Rat had posted "are the Bilsteins gas charged? My Fox shocks are and they mount with the body up."
Yes, "5100 Series shocks use Bilstein's mono-tube high gas pressure design for consistent fade-free performance & long life."
Soooooooooooo, I've learned something new. It's a gas thing!
Thanks everyone
