I don't drag my shocks in the desert 'hard-pan'.

I just spoke with Bilstein's east coast office (Brian) and was told the 5100's can be run boot up or down but are designed to run boot down only because of the weep holes they put in the boot top. If you take a punch and put some holes at the large ends of the boot then it solves that difference. He said as far as working, the shock doesn't know if it's up or down.
He was pretty detailed in his explanation so I'm pretty sure I'm good to go.

Interesting, I got a different answer but I guess it's good they can be run both ways. Plus you don't have to go to the trouble of flipping your shocks.
