I use them and really like them, and I have only an upcountry lift, so close to stock. if anything they're a bit on the firm side, so they are def more stable, controlled, and connected. They don't totally remove the bumps, but I much prefer them to the monroes.
Love my Bilstiens, was night and day vs the factory style shocks even though they were only 3yrs old. Biggest difference is on gravel roads especially with a heavy load.
Love my Bilstein 5100s with my 4.5 inch lift. They have been on it for 5 years now and still do the job in ten sand dunes. No shock fade. Yes on road they are abrupt compared to your parts store junk like Monroe.
I use Bilstien on my truck
Bilstein B4 are good. B6 are better.
My main goal adding the Bilsteins was to correct the sloppy ride of the stock rancho shocks.
Hello everyone, I just recently had my stock Rancho shocks replaced with Bilstein 5100s front and rear.
The Golf R springs with Bilstein B6 dampers did moderately lower the wagon's body roll and, paradoxically, not really negatively affect ride quality from what I can tell.
Bilsteins are probably best, unless you want to cough up a lot for fox. I have Gabriel premium right now. Pretty good, but not as good as Bilsteins.
I just did my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 and put these on the back.
The springs supposedly add about 500 lbs to the leaf springs. After receiving them, I was a little disappointed by the plastic stop at the top of the springs, and the ride is pretty rough empty. Not recommending them (only had them a couple of weeks) but I'm sure there are similar products.
