Reviews: Bilstein 2 5100 Series Struts and 2 5100 Series Shock Package - SHOCKINGBIL5100W-FRTSTRUT

Put these on my 2015 Tundra. They did exactly what I wanted which was to level truck and get rid of the factory front end rake.

I was worried that these might be a little rough riding but I was wrong these ride great completely changed my Tacoma. I would definitely recommend

I bought these and installed in the summer this year. These definitely smoothed out the ride and look good on the truck. I hated the stock ride and am glade I installed the Bilstein 5100’s. At first they were a little stiff that changed after a month or so of break in.

I have had these shocks on two different trucks and they still do not disappoint!! Smoothes out the hard hits and increase control while limiting body roll. Oh, and the ability to adjust the ride height is good too!!

My first experience at 4WP was a great one. Fast, professional, and courteous are the best terms to describe it. I made the appointment to have my truck leveled with Bilstein 5100 shocks. I feel like I got a good deal, the service was complete when they said it would be done, and my truck handles the pot holes much better now.

These shocks are just what I needed for my 2005 4Runner. The ride is better than stock (xreas) and the lift you can get is a bonus. 4WheelParts was amazing with the shipping time and communication. They actually arrived 2 days earlier than expected(5 days shipping time overall).

Worth the buy! I asked the shop to set mine on position 3 (1 being OEM w/ 4 being highest setting). That gave me nearly 2" of front-end lift on my Chevy. It took out most of my rake, if not all of it. Front measurements before install were 35.5" from ground to the bottom of the wheel well. After install that raised it to roughly 37.5". The rear remained at 38". I also upgraded the factory P255/70R17 for a set of Toyo Open Country LT265/70R17. Almost went with a 285 series. Shop thought we could get away with it. I chickened out. Glad I did. I wanted the sidewalls at the wheel wells, not extending past them. I live in the sticks. Wanted to keep the mud and dirt in the wells. Happy with my 265's. Unbelievable difference between Bilstein's and OEM shocks / struts! Before commenting about the rear shocks being upside down, I encourage you to go to Bilstein's website and read their installation commentary. I was surprised by the boot down installation as well. Figured they knew more about what they build than I did. I would recommend having the struts professionally installed unless you are a true pro. Using these for leveling puts added pressure on the factory springs. I had a hard time getting them installed myself. Gave up and hired the pros since I was getting tires anyway. My truck is a 2018 Silverado with the LT package. It had roughly 22,000 miles on it at install. Only had the Bilstein’s for a short-time, but I do like them. Again, day and night better than the factory parts.

Great product. Really helped smooth out my ride and the adjustable front struts allowed me to eliminate the need for leveling spacers.

Great shocks! I replaced the OEM’s and leveled the front-to-back with the Bilstein 5100’s. Great ride on street and handle well off-road. My install was for an 2009 Toyota FJCruiser. These are a great choice for OEM replacement with a couple steps up in ride and performance. Luv’m Brian - Central CA

Great products great price can never go wrong with bilstiens

2014 Lexus GX460 OEM shock replacements. Front set at 1.75", plus 1" spacers for the rear. kept the factory springs to improve the Lexus ride. 285/70-17s to fill the wheel well void.

Ride is firm, far better overall ride then the OEM. My 2015 jeep grand cherokee laredo 101000 miles. I did raise front to level jeep. I have Parelli scorpion AT tires 18 inch OEM rims. Very happy with shocks

Perfect lift for the front of our 2020 1794 Tundra. The ride is better than stock and not stuff at all.

Used these on a conversion from the 07 4Runner XREAS and am in love, adjustable They are set at 1.75 and bought a rough country level kit - it’s sitting up about 5 in the front 4 in the back. Smooth ride and looks great.

This was my first purchase from 4wd and it started really badly. I didn't get all my order and bottom line wasn't going to for weeks due to backorder. These guys went to bat for me and got me my stuff in two days after I called. I was upset when I called too. Even though I had to fabricate one of the dust boot to inner/ lower bushing spacers for to it was missing out of the badly damaged boxes, they were ok and made it to me. I appreciate you guys getting them here as soon as you did. I will be back

Put the shocks at stock ride height since I installed leveling lift and after a great alignment... perfect!

The installation was straight forward and I installed them at the same time as ReadyLift 3/2 leveling lift and since I was utilizing a lift in conjunction with the shocks, it was imperative to set the shocks at stock ride height to keep from rattling every bolt loose as the shocks are designed to pre-load the springs to solely use them for lifting... getting a quality alignment is essential upon completion of the install. Wow! Now it is an exceptional ride and room to go bigger with my next set of tires! The only down side was that the PlanDemic delayed the back shocks delivery by 10 months, but glad it’s all done. Highly recommend.

Great shocks, achived perfect leveling hieght. Rides smooths no more nose dive on brakeing.
