wish mine came with the snap ring. Now i have to take another day off from work to put them in a compressor again.

This video fooled me. “A couple smacks with a hammer” my ass lol

So these struts don’t come with the adapter ring that they used to come with a couple of years ago? Other videos reference using the rings on a non-offroad package truck. It looks like it even shows the ring on your website photo.

If i decide to go with these shocks on its 2.6 inch setting, do we need to change the upper control arm too ? Like it is recommendable to change upper control arm when installing 2 inch front leveling kit (motofab or rough country) .

[danimal]

Why didn't you torque anything down and show what we need to do there?

[belvius]

In the video you indicated this part does not fit Rebel/TRX but when I looked on the Bilstein website this part number does fit the Rebel/TRX. Can you confirm this will not fit the Rebel/TRX?

What about for the 2011 1500 2 wheel drive?
