Reviews: Bilstein 5100 Series Shock Absorber - 33-187174

Love these shocks. Have Bilstein’s on all 4 corners of my truck as well. Now I need to do the front of my wife’s!

Bilstein 5100 shocks are well worth the few extra dollars. Excellent on road and offroad.

Used these to replace x-reas system on 2013 4runner. Work great

before I installed these 4 shocks my FJ would nose dive on firm braking and squat on acceleration. now I have a firm yet very comfortable ride along with supperior control. I was also able to achieve a close to perfect level by raising the front using the third groove.

These are great for my 4Runner with a 3" lift. The last one lasted 40k miles but i think that was a lemon. Only hard part is getting the bushings on. Had to put the new ones on the bottom and old on the top and tighten and drive for a day then come back and put the new ones on the top.

bolted right up to my Fj, direct fit and the inverted design is better for mounting with a large hex on the shock body

The shocks were installed at the same time as Toytec coil overs and Super Flex rear springs. The street ride is still quite comfortable and the combination soaks up rough trails and rocks very well. Overall handling and cornering of my FJ has improved and the braking nose-dive is eliminated. I've heard only good things about the 5100's when installed separately.
