Rear Shock Installation Procedure:
Note: Due to the increased collapsed length of Bilstein Shock Absorbers 33-247724 and 33-247717, a 1” block lift is
required.
A. Remove the existing shocks from the vehicle following all procedures in the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual.
The Bilstein Shock Absorber is installed in the same manner as the OE shock, except with the shock body oriented
upwards.
B. The left and right rear shocks are different lengths and need to be installed as follows:
33-247724 – LEFT REAR
33-247717 – RIGHT REAR
C. Install the Bilstein Shock Absorber in the original location with the new supplied eye ring bushings and attach the
upper and lower mounts. Please refer to Figure 2 for the correct orientation of the eye-ring bushings.
D. Be sure to lower the vehicle such that its full weight is on the suspension prior to fully tightening the fasteners.
E. Tighten the upper and lower mount fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s service manual torque specification.
