Reviews: Bilstein 5125 Series Shocks

Just replaced my Doetsch DT3000 twin tube shocks to the Bisteins 5100 with my RE 4.5 lift and the ride quality is night and day! Going over bumps, railroad tracks and washboard roads with the 5100 is so amazingly smooth! I never new that the suspension could ride so nice on a CJ after replacing with these shocks. The jeep rides better then my 01 Sequoia now. I'm 100% convinced that I will never buy any other shock except Bisteins. Believe me you will notice the smooth ride difference immediately after you installed them. They are well worth the $$$! I was like you doubting the difference because of the cost but am so glad that I did this upgrade. Read all the other reviews and Bisteins stand out as being the most positive upgrade than any other shock.

Awesome shocks new updated from older one I owned hoop shocks Cognito motorsport

Installed on a 1984 CJ7 w 3.5 inches of lift from springs and shackles. After installing new Old Man Emu YJ shocks, the Jeep was very bouncy. Before spring upgrade, it was jarring. I installed these and thy calmed the bounce on the springs. Very happy so far. Can't wait to get on the trail with them.

The service was great and the guys were very helpful

Bushings and sleeves included. Simply install and great ride.

Hi, great service and delivery time Shocks were fantastic on my Troopy

Great riding shock- night and day from my existing rancho shocks. 4 wheel parts installed them for me and did an awesome job.

These shocks are great. Be prepared to have to find a custom option for bushings unless you actually have 1/2 bolts for your suspension. I had 14mm end had to get 3/4 ID bushings from Daystar and get a custom sleeve online to fit the 14mm bolts. The fit is superb now and the shocks are awesome.

Good product as always, fit perfect for my TJ Unlimited and gives me great flex and feel on the street. Perfect for vehicles with on road duty and weekend warrior

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.

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

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.

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