I put a pair of Bilsteins on the front of the T&C last year.
I was able to compress them, but not long enough to get them positioned to where they'd explode into the right place.
I was able to use some butt-kickin' cable ties I had to keep them compressed.
Not easy with a bayonet mount on top, lol.
After I got one in, I remember thinking that I hoped I'd never have to take them out!
