Jim, let me know how they do. Next on my list is either 4" exhaust or a set of steins. I don't know which one to do first.

You got it Huck. I ordered them from eshocks. The price was the same all around for the most part but they had free shipping. i am going to call Farm boys diesel for an exhaust tommorow. I have heard that they are very reasonable. If you want the link pm me and I'll send it to you.

Boots down.
Since they are a monotube nitrogen charged shock their orientation doesn't effect their operation.

It's more of a longevity thing. If they are boot down dirt, water, grime, salt, etc.. just runs down them vs. possibly collecting around the shaft seal if they were boot up and causing premature failure of the seal.
