I just noticed.....your rear shocks are mounted upside down, the boot should be at the bottom since your shock label is upside down.

SOB... this is what happens when I don't inspect a shop's install. At the time when I got it lifted I was in the process of moving. I didn't have the tools or space to install the kit myself.

I have a set of brand new in the box shocks, if I go by the labels on the shock as per above article, my boots will be on the top.

It can get confusing
always look at the Bilstein logo. If it is upside down, so are your shocks

Yep, with the logo facing to read, boot will be on top. If installed with boot on bottom, the logo on these will be upside down.

Thanks guys for the tip. I've never thought to check them granted I didn't receive the instructions back. This is probably the sound I hear when I go over road imperfections. It's hard to describe but if that goes away I'll be excited to rid the truck of that sound. Almost like noisy springs but you cannot replicate it jumping on the bed.

Problem with cores johhny joints is they are not sealed, and if you live in an area that gets snow and salt, they will corrode and wear out.

So how do these differ from Dirt King extended arms or Gor extended arms. These are considerable cheaper and if I can get the same results with these plus a lifetime warranty I would go this route in a heart beat. Can some one help me figure this out?

Why is that? I am pretty sure heim joints have more range of motion but can make a suspension a little bit noisy from my understanding. What are the benefits of the johnny joint?

My arms use sealed johhny joints. Cores johhny joints are not sealed, and if you drive in snow with salt, the non sealed johhny joints will corrode and lock up.
