Reviews: Bilstein 5100 Series Shocks

The shocks ride great and stop a lot of the rear end hop on my truck. They ride great as well at higher speeds and make a comfortable ride. Great purchase and worth the price.

Great price, shipped quickly. Used these to replace a much more expensive set of shocks that started leaking within a year. These improved the road manners (more firm) and have not let me down doing mild to moderate off-roading.

Put them on and went straight off road. Handled everything I could throw at them and did great. Smooth ride on & off road.

Really like the gas charged shocks. Big improvement in ride quality.

Easy to install. They are good on washboard roads. Not the best shocks out there, but the best bang for your buck.

Installed on a '93 YJ with a SOA. dramatically improved the ride. Only complaint is there werent any instructions on how to tighten the top nut w/o the piston spinning. I used vice grips to grip the shock boot lip (cushioned with a glove in between to help keep it from damaging) and the tightened the top bolt. It did leave a small mark (not visible with boot pulled up). Afterwards a buddy told me that I could have used an Allen wrench on the top and then tighten the nut. Jus wished that was in the instructions.

Overall the install on the front took about 3 hours for both sides. It is a little harder to install on the passenger side due to the access of the top of the shock is blocked by the battery and power distribution panel. Anyone using this product will not be disappointed in the performance of the shock. My Jeep is up about 2.5" over factory and handles better than the stock ride.

Needed a better shock for the rear due to towing a trailer and the stock shock on the Ram was not cutting it. The Bilstein works like a charm. It stabalizes quick with littkle bounce when towing. A little satiff unloaded but still ruides well

I replaced rough country shocks on my Ram 2500. They were on for about 14 months. Bilstein was suggested as the ride in my truck was very rough. I have had the Bilstein's on for a week and wow. What a difference. I also have a steering stabilizer that is rough country and I am going to replace that as soon as the Bilstein arrives. That will be today or tomorrow. I am a new believer in your products. Thank you for a great set of shocks.

Smoothed out my ride after a lift. Rides great now.

What an upgrade over stock! My 2020 Ranger would bounce around like a rubber ball after going over bumps on the highway but just changing the rear shocks out made a huge improvement. The truck rebounds from the bumps and smooths out immediately. This is a must do upgrade and can be done in under and hour in your own garage with a few basic tools.

Love these Bilstein 5100 shocks. My last set lasted me 10yrs.

I recommend Bilsteins to anyone. Especially if you have a truck. Best ride quality for a daily driver

Shocks were a nice upgrade from the factory. Was having issues with bounce in the rear while towing. These shocks took care of that. Would recommend.

What can I say, arrived fast, no issues installing and rides great. Looks even better since I got the leveling ones. Awesome so far.

If you have a New trail boss, immediately buy these and front struts also, it will be a totally different truck and ride like it should’ve in the first place for a 60k$ + truck. It’s embarrassing GM still uses them junk Ranchos. The wheel hop and hard bounce is gone!

Great shock! I really like the way my 2005 Chevy Silverado rides since installing these Bilsteins on it.

Very well made. I really like the smooth ride. Jeep handles very well on washboard roads.

Exactly what the doctor ordered. Worked great for my custom triangulated setup.

Better than new on my F250 w/2.5" lift. Just remember the boot end is the bottom.
