Understood, I’m just finding that more and more shops don’t want to install customer supplied parts. Kinda surprised thata Ford dealer would.
Same thoughts I had, most chain shops will not, PepBoys, Firestone, etc. So I was pretty surprised when the Ford dealer offered. They did a great job, and the only reason I was there was the dealer gives three free oil change services with every vehicle. I normally do my own service, but I am also cheap so free beats out my own labor and parts cost.

Nice looking. See you wanted to start a thread war over how you installed the shocks (upside backside inside outside ?)
Bilstein says to mount so the logo is right side up when on the vehicle.

But now I am curious is there an advantage to reversing the shocks?

By the way if anyone wants those pieces of hot garbage Ford calls an FX upgrade, I will donate.

You need to put them back on when Carvana makes you an offer you can’t refuse. Really. That’s why mine are laying in the corner of my garage and not at the bottom of my dumpster.

I already took the Carvana offer on my 2019 and bought the 2021, I don't anticipate doing it again, because if we are in the same situation 18 months from now we will be in really bad shape.

No, it was just a reference to a billion posts on which way is right, regardless of manufacture...?

2 more things off my checklist. Got my CoverKing Neoprene seat covers installed. That back armrest was a pain in the rear end. They look good and my 1e year old son really liked the change.

Also got my windows tinted with the Llumar CTX and the Air80 for the windshield. Also did the door cups and door edges with the Xpel film

Last thing on my list until one of you other posters adds something else "I have to have", is my front Bilstein shock replacements. Hope to have that done this week or next.
