Bilstein Shock absorbers
CYB0RD
Rating 5.0
  • Body bounce:

What i did to eliminate my bounce was adding air bags. change out the shackle bushing to either OEM or polyurethane, you choice i went with polyurethane. Your leafsprings are probably gone, especially if they are OEM. You can change them. But try out the air bags /shackle bushing and also shocks (bilstein) if you haven't yet. For my motorhome, when im loaded, i run around 80psi non loaded 50psi no bounce even when driving on dirt roads to campground.

Pros: eliminate bounce, better ride
Cons: leafsprings probably gone
Vehicle: Toyota

I would get the Bilstein 5100s, Bilstein 5100s are a night and day difference from the Westcott preload collar lift (it's essentially a spacer lift)

Pros: night and day difference

I suggested KYB Gas-a-just shocks. Not to expensive and they are a great mix of comfort and sportyness

Pros: comfort and sportyness
Cons: not too expensive

I did 5100’s on my ‘19, 4/5 setting front lift, zero back. Nice and level-ish now that I’ve got a steel bumper. Feels better than stock by a wide margin

Pros: Feels better than stock
Vehicle: Toyota

  • Bottoming:

I converted a 760GLE to 5.0 Mustang power and everything I could get from IPD. The Bilsteins / urethane bushings and sway bars made that thing a weapon on the curves.

Pros: weapon on the curves
Vehicle: Volvo

Bilstein Shock absorbers

In terms of the shocks themselves - Bilstein seem to have a solid reputation except for one former Bilstein fan on Youtube who had multiple failures in fairly quick succession a few years ago. I'm hoping their QA just took a hit for a while and the quality issues have been resolved, what's everyone else's experience of the longevity of these shocks? I doubt they'll hold up as incredibly well as the OEs have but I'd expect five years from them.

Pros: solid reputation
Cons: potential quality issues

Bilstein Shock absorbers

They’re complete garbage. i had one go bad at 11k. I also had all of them replaced due to the bottoming out issue on my diesel. I couldn’t wait to get them off my Jeep. They last about 20k. Replaced them with Bilstein 5100s.

Cons: complete garbage, go bad
Vehicle: Jeep
