Reviews for Bilstein B8 5100 Series Gas Shock Kit for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK with 2-3.5" Lift
The Bilstein B8 5100 Series Gas Shocks provide a smooth on-road travel and add performance over stock shocks off-road. The kit allows you to save costs from purchasing each shock individually. The ease of installation along side Teraflex 2.5" springs made this project headache free.
Rides way too stiff. Hate them.
The bushing on the bottom of the rear shock is to wide to fit inside of the factory shock mount. I tried every trick I know to make it work. Including bending the mount out just a little. Finally got it to fit inside the front of the shock mount but once it reached the back side the metal bushing would catch on the bolt hole. I worked on this for 2 hours. Never could get it to work. 2008 JKU. I would not buy these shocks due to that reason. You will be sending them back like I did.
