Description
Sizing. This Bilstein 5100 Series Shock Absorber has a collapsed length of 14.88 inches, an extended length of 24 inches, and a travel length of 9.12 inches. The shaft diameter is 14 millimeters, and the body design is 46 millimeters ID non-coil over smooth body.
Properties. There are many impressive features on this monotube gas pressure shock. They include the single tube high gas pressure design that leads to consistently good fade-free performance and years of quality. The high-flow piston actually reduces the piston harshness, and the larger working piston area offers exact tamping. You will appreciate the incredible control, especially for bigger aftermarket tires. This shock was made to be compatible with factory original mounting configurations.
Notable Features. You will appreciate this particular Bilstein built shock. Bilstein is a company famous for bringing the latest technology and the highest quality to all their parts. The self-adjusting deflecting disc valving helps this shock to achieve maximum performance, along with the independent rebound and compression tuning.

Great buy!
Originally bought only rear shocks, they were so nice, that I decided to buy the front ones as well. My ride is so much better with these on my Jeep. They are a must buy!

What A Ride!
I had stock shocks on my TJ. The ride and bump-steer were ridiculously harsh. Added the front and rear shocks and the ride quality is remarkable. I questioned the price for the shocks as many are much cheaper, but with the way it rides I would say that it was money well spent.

Jeep rides great now... Much better than stock!
Installed these front shocks a few weeks ago with Savvy 3" lift. They were a breeze to install. You just need an allen wrench to keep the shaft still while tightening down the top nut. I had them installed in 30 minutes tops. They ride great on the road and offroad. They handle small bumps at high speeds great. I have had them on mild trails but no rocks yet. I am sure they will do great there also. I couldn't ask for anything more of them.

Bilstein shocks
Much better ride than the old ranchos shocks. But they did cost more than the old ranchos shocks. So you get what you pay for quality?
