1. Disassemble front shock and coil spring according to vehicle manufacturer’s procedures.
2. For 5100 Series Bilstein shock absorbers, install the circlip in the correct ride height location**.
See Figure 1. 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). For HD Series
Bilstein shock absorbers, the circlip is installed in the only possible location, which is for stock
ride height.
IMPORTANT: 5100 SERIES ONLY (HD series are not ride height adjustable)
PLACE CIRCLIP IN APPROPRIATE GROOVE TO ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT.

** Ride heights indicated are typical. Actu
al 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.
