Yes, none of my actuators clicked either! Just make sure that the 5mm gear height was observed before finishing up. I think that is the only critical step besides not using the upper mount bolts to 'pull' the rear shocks into position.
You know you can send your old ones to Bilstein to have them rebuilt. I saved my old ones just for that reason. Sort of like my own cores, and no down time waiting for the turn around.
