[QUOTE="Danarch, post: 455988, member: 21093"] I’ve installed the Bilstein 5100, not sure if the 4600 is the same or not. The 5100 are pain in the rear. If you know any of this sorry. If the same as the 5100 you need to Insert an allen wrench in the top of the shock stud while turning the nut. A boxend ratchet wrench will be your friend. Not sure what year your JK is but for 2012 later on the passenger side you most likely will need to cut the honeycomb plastic thing some in order to get the allen wrench in there. To decrease the amount of cutting some cut the allen wrench to make it shorter, I did not try that. It was a pain overall. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
