So i bought my bilstein 5125's and had a buddy attempt to install them. They are the correct length and everything. But he said he couldn't mount them on the lower a-arm. He didn't specify why. Originally when i talked to bilstein they said i may need to purchase a bar pin from them to properly install them. My question is, is this really whats needed to install them properly? Just a bar pin? It seems like the stock one would have worked. Or is the stock shock mount even capable of holding this shock. Both the oem shock and my 5125's have the lower eyelet style of mount. Its just when i got under the truck to look at the mounting location it just didnt seem like a bar pin would work in there. Advice needed please.
