I agree. Rod down is correct. Installing rod down helps ensure that the oil is in the correct position for dampening and also helps lubricate the sealing orings.
Do you mean breaking an end off rom the strut from hitting it with the spare tire, etc?
I haven't had anyone say that they broke the end off from one yet. I do sell just the support struts but usually it is just because an OEM one has worn out.
Note I had a lot of orders last week so I am down to my last few sets of brackets.
Another batch is being made but it will probably take a couple of weeks to get them back from both waterjet and powdercoating.
Thanks to everyone that has ordered one so far!
