Subject:Re: Bilsteins 2 different types?

Interesting, i do remember when i replaced my old
Bilsteins with newer Bilsteins on my 2wd 85'....My
newer ones had larger piston rod/shaft diameter, AND
instead of a standard nut at the end of the shaft,
they have a hex nut that reguires an allen key to
fasten it. I purchased them from an offroad supplier
out west so i MIGHT just have the "heavy Duty"
bilstein instead of the "touring class" ones. They
certainly are a stiffer ride than my older Bils. I
might have a part number in my files, i can match them
to that website.....but later
