    New to the forum. Thanks for the add. I purchased so Bilstein rear shocks for my 2011 Sequoia and don't know which way they go on. Mounts are the same top and bottom. If I mount with the wording facing right side up, the boots are on the bottom. That doesn't seem right to me. I have tried getting and answer from Bilstein with no reply. Any one ever put 4600 yellow Bilstein on the rear have insight?

    @AZBoatHauler you've been doing a lot to a Sequoia. Thoughts? I'm thinking how he has them with the words in the readable orientation is correct.

    Haven’t don’t them on the Sequoia yet but that looks 100% correct to me. The shafts are on bottom for the rear shocks on the Tundra.
