Been rocking the 5100’s on my TRD OR, no complaints and going strong after 2 years.
Pros: no complaints, going strong
Owner reviews for shock absorbers
Manufacturers
Comparisons
I started out with 5100s and they were definitely an improvement over stock both on and offroad. I noticed a huge difference when I upgraded to icon 2.5 coilovers though, which are closer to the 6112s.
Pros: improvement over stock
I had Koni yellows and loved them. Lifetime warranty too.
Pros: phenomenal product, lifetime warranty
I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.
Pros: rides great, slight lift
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 120000 km
I replaced my Limited’s stock suspension with Bilstein 5100’s at 65k myself...the truck rides great on and off road now, literally no downsides.
Pros: rides great on/off road
Cons: PITA XREAS lines
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 65000 km
I have a 2002 Yukon with a leveling kit and Bilstein 5100 all around. The ride is way better like Gorilla said. It feels lighter and takes the bumps very smooth
Pros: better ride, feels lighter, smooth over bumps
I've been running Bilstein 4600's on my 04 Titan(Stock Height) for almost two years already.Though its not driven everyday of the week,I drive it casually and the shocks and struts have been holding up well.They're a tad stiff,but overall still comfortable for street and highway driving.And they feel stronger than many other Titans I drove with oem.
Pros: comfortable for street, highway driving
Cons: tad stiff
Vehicle:
Nissan
I put 5100s on my 2007 Titan back in 2016, and they still ride great.
Pros: ride great
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 50000 km
I used to have a factory set of optional Bilstein TRD Greys in my JZZ30 Toyota Soarer, they were on the firm side of things - could probably have benefited from a different spring rate.
Cons: on the firm side
Vehicle:
Toyota Soarer
And the adjustable 9000 series are so stiff even on the softest settings. Had them for a while on my E-350 shuttle bus which weighs in just under 10k lbs.
Cons: so stiff even
Vehicle:
Ford
