Just to be clear.. your saying it is OK to mount EITHER way.
ALSO, I have 5100 shocks out back...... man it SUX to forget stuff!!!

nope, I'm 90% certain they have to be can up. every pic i see of them mounted, the can is up.
OK...one more time...they are a gas shock...they do not 'have' to be in either direction. A gas shock can be mounted either way...it does not matter.
I'm not saying your wrong. i've just never seen them mounted with the shaft up.
