I believe 99hunter means some shocks the boot may go down, like our Bilstiens, at least thats what the directions said on mine but you'll be fine.

I just changed my shocks today as well. 01 F350 4 door. Went with the Bilstein Heavy Duty Truck Shocks.
Man are these things awesome!!! My ride is so much better.
The whole boot mounting upside down on the Bilsteins threw me off a little bit at first. An impact gun makes this job a whole lot better!
