The installation instruction specifies that you separate the rubber on the upside down "V" washer from the stock shock and use that as the bottom washer in between the top mount. If you don't the rubber mount can pull out from the housing.

THANX chaps
first running report due at the end of April
Tom... it's not shown in the pix but I did wonder what the two additional washers that I found in the Billy box were for
as the BILSTEIN On line/PDF instalation file make no mention of their actual application
There were only two possible places to use these on the rears and I guessed right + I reused the O.E. V shape washer in the same O.E. position
but thanks for your concern
One other point of interest and mild caution for anyone considering installing this kit themselves is BILSTEIN put too much yellow paint on the top thread in their Germanic ways and the nylock nuts don't stand a chance of being fully "righty tighty" unless the excess paint is first removed from the thread
Don't ask me how I know
