Seems weird, but boot down is correct. I'm **** so when I got mine I actually read the instructions.... crazy, right? Yep, well, I did. Boot down for sure.

Interesting question. Mine are all down but I met with Jeremy tonight in Ohio and he said his instructions said to have the boots up in the back??????

Well, boots down on all four corners on my rig. All writing is right side up.

....Sorry guys....are the Bilstiens really better than the Rancho rs5000's I have now?I'm not sure about the ride as I have nothing else to compare it to,but my Rancho's have only been on about a year and a half and they're already rusting(and I dont go off road and we dont have snow here either).Sorry for the high jack...its over now...lol

My directions say boots down in the front and boots up in the back. I checked three times when installing them to make sure I wasn't seeing things.. thats the way I got mine..same rear part no# as Jeremy's..
