Rear Shock install Question

Quick Question...On the upper shock mount does it go:

Washer, bushing, washer, frame, bushing, washer, nut

or

Washer, bushing, frame, bushing, washer, nut

or some other combination that isn't listed?

Does it depend on the shock? Not sure my Billies came with another washer for up top...

It was nut - washer - bushing - frame - bushing - washer - shock

I did mine two days ago like this:

Nut-washer-bushing-frame-bushing-washer-shock

Rides good!

Unfortunately, I don't read or speak german, or I'm sure the directions would have been easier.

That is the stock setup. I can't remember what my Bilsteins came with either.
