Reviews: Bilstein 5100 Series Shock Packages

I recommend Bilstein shocks for those who are still searching, it gives a very nice ride for my Tundra 👍

The ride quality of these shocks and struts is fantastic. I would highly recommend anyone looking to upgrade, or just replace their suspension look into a set of Bilstein 5100's . Well worth the price.

Awesome replacement for original shocks/struts on 2014 Tundra. At install they were able to level out truck as well.

Awesome product no complaints. Pictures show lower spring retainer, it doesn’t come with it. This package retains the factory retainer.

Installed on 2016 Ram 2500,6.4 Hemi, 4x4. Very happy with results, nice firm feel. Truck has front level kit, make sure you order correct part numbers. Top mounts can be a little bit of a hassle but take a beer break and all is well👍 happy with purchase!

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

Shocks and kit work great. However when i went into an actual 4wheel wholestore on sepulveda in los angeles the salesman told me that they dont offer any for my car. I didnt want to argue with the guy even though I knew he was wrong. I went on your website and ordered them myself. The online sales rep was really awesome at making sure I got the right shocks for my specific model. I will definitely call him direct next time if I need to order anything else, not gonna waste my time in the store when the salesman doesnt know what hes talking about.

These shocks are really all I put on customers cars. When I ordered the set (4) I was assured that the B8 5100 would be adjustable and set to OEM position. My question to the representative was (this will not raise the truck!!! He said “no” that the Lowest setting was OEM! Wrong!! It raises the front about three in” and the back 2”…OMG 2002 Tundra ..I was so lucky when the customer the ride was so good that the height wasn’t an issue! Sweating bullets!! But these shocks raise this model significantly higher and mainly in the front….. but that’s the new style trend!!

Awesome shocks still waiting on two shocks to arrive. Installed the back ones a week ago.

From day one, the rear end of my Silverado was "hoppy" with the oe GM shocks. When the shocks started leaking, I purchased the Bilstein shock and adjustable strut package. Now it has the ride it should have had from the factory, with the added benefit of leveling the front. I knew the construction would be better, but holding an oe shock in one hand and the Bilstein in the other? They're not even the same thing. Wholeheartedly recommended. Be aware, a lot of shops will not install customer supplied parts, so you may have to look around. And if you change the ride height, you 100 percent need an alignment, so save yourself the pain/danger of renting spring compressors for the struts and have a pro install them. The shocks, however are a snap and will save a little if you install them yourself. Can be done with a pair of medium (10in) crescent wrenches.

I set them at the highest setting. It brought the front up a little over 2”. Now level with the rear. Rides very nice and looks much better than stock. Next time I need tires I will go with 285/75/R17 since it now has the clearance.

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.
