Bilstein shocks
Shocks are fine. Unfortunately the top nut to mount the shocks came with threads that had issues and didnt go onto the bolt. Also had to trim rubber fitting to fit them in the shock mount, as well as the interior bushings.

Versatile shock for custom lifts
Used these shocks on the rear of a 1994 Dodge Dakota with a 6 1/2" lift. Used 63" Chevy half ton leaf springs with custom shackles and spring and shackle mounts. For our application, these shocks are actually longer than we need and there may not be enough up travel left in them. We may need to modify the top shock mount to get a bit more travel out of them. However, these shocks are the quality you would expect from Bilstein. We haven't run them yet, still finishing our build.

4WP=Awesome Bilstein=Nope
Seem like a very decent shock, but after calling Bilstein and asking what shock for my vehicle, this didnt fit. Wasnt even close. But great quality, and great service from 4WP. Not sure how to return, or if I even still can. So they sit as paper weights on the workbench.

Ford Bronco Quad shock
I bought this 5125 as an auxiliary shock on my 1991 Ford Bronco quad shock setup with a 6" lift. The primary shock is a 5160 with remote reservoir. At first I thought the valving would be too stiff but it really provided stability while letting the suspension to travel and work as it should. I can push the Bronco hard through a corner and the Bilstein help keep it stable. Prior to adding the 5125 it would roll into a corner and dip the nose when coming to a stop. I love the way it rides now, especially without custom valving. Just bolt it on and go.

perfect for midsize truck setups
great ride on the back of a tacoma. the 170 valving is a much better choice for lighter trucks.

Excellent ride
I put it on a wk jeep with 4” lift. It works amazingly. However, it’s not a direct fit. You will need a steel bushings and washers to fit in.

NOT A UNIVERSAL FIT!
These shocks are described as universal fit however it did not bolt up to my 2013 Tacoma without a “Eye-To-Stem” adapter which luckily they had in stock here in Hawaii! So just be weary if your rear shocks are stem shocks then you’ll need a conversion kit!

Adapters required for the front of my 1977 F250 but the length is perfect.
