Reviews for Bilstein B8 5100 Series Gas Shock Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK with 2-3.5" Lift
Excellent for on road work...no good for off-road work...not designed for it
Great ride both on and off road
Great down the road and great down the trail. Price point for this shock is hard to beat.
These are a noticeable difference over the Skyjacker shocks that I replaced. The Bilsteins give me a much smoother ride. I can hit bumps without the whole Jeep violently shaking. As for installation, I paid a mechanic $120 to put them on for me and I'm glad I did. I think it took him almost 2 hours, so it probably would have taken me all day.
Improved the ride and body roll instantly on my wife’s JK, perfect replacement for old blown out shocks
Just installed these on my 2016 JKU. Made a huge difference. Went from Pro Comp to these and I have to drive on a rough brick road everyday and wow. You can barely feel it. Less noise inside with all the rattling gone now. As far as the install on a 2016. Make sure you jack up the frame to give enough room to fit them in the seating. Don't think you can manually compress them. On the right front shock you can use a razor blade to cut away the plastic above the top bolt to give yourself room. That trick should be all over youtube. So far with one day driving I love them.
Better ride than OEM Rubicon shocks and easy install.
Great shocks, I have 3.5 lift with 35's on a jk four door. I drive seventy miles a day on the freeway and these shocks are the best all around shock. I took off Rancho's that never felt great for these.
Great shocks. Noticeable improved ride on and off road. These shocks do everything the higher priced shocks do at a great price. I love Bilstein products have had them on all of my cars and trucks. they really last. Worth buying
Always had good luck using Bilstein shocks. From stock to lifted jeeps / trucks
