Doug,
Great information and a great job on this write up! The one thing that I noticed in your pictures, is that the valving adjustment knob located at the top of the shock? How is this for adjusting the knob for rebound?1986 Buick T-Type

I thought of that but then the nut to adjust the ride height will be at the top!! Originally Posted by Bryce

ok ok ok....here's what I know. Originally Posted by xxxturbo6

For what it's worth...the DSE ones have the shock body on the bottom as well.
The ridetech coil overs are designed to have the shock body on the bottom. The stickers line up that way, the pictures online are that way, and the adjusable spanner is on the bottom which makes sense for ride height adjustments. The shock adjuster on top baffles me though. I was given the thumbs up by ridetech to flip the shocks over but I didn't want too since that would puit the adjustable spanner on top which would be a major pain in the butt. I have only adjusted the coil overs on the lift so it was pretty easy. I am thinking with the new upper mounts it will be difficult to adjust these things while it is on the ground but it will be possible.Douglas Lutes
