1. Disassemble front shock and coil spring according to vehicle manufacturer’s procedures.
2. Install the supplied 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). The HD Series Bilstein shock absorbers are
designed with two circlip locations, which are for standard stock ride height and TRX
Suspension stock ride height. The 5100 Series Bilstein shock absorbers are designed with five
circlip locations, which are for standard stock ride height, TRX Suspension stock ride height,
and three additional lift heights.
IMPORTANT: PLACE CIRCLIP IN APPROPRIATE GROOVE TO ADJUST RIDE HEIGHT.

** 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.
