I tried doing a search for feedback on these struts but have found very little info on them. Does anyone currently have these and what is your opinion on them? |

I've had experience with Bilsteins on other trucks, I looked into them when I upgraded but instead I went with Rancho 5000's because of cost. I so wish I spent a few more bucks and got them, if you can afford them do it. Porsche, an Benz doesn't put them on there cars for no reason. |

I run Bilsteins on all corners of my KK. In 18K miles, I have gone from stock, to sky crappers on the rear and front, to bilsteins in the rear and now bilsteins all around. You will not be disappointed in the ride.... |

I have them with OME-HD springs all the way around and love them. Took some getting use to compared to stock suspension because of the more floating sensation when going over the big bumps in the road, but it rides alot better and soaks up everything you throw at it. Feels normal now after a month and a half. The only thing I don't like is the back end tends to wander on washboards on dirt at speed. Love everything else. I got all my stuff from JBA. |

I have 5100s up front on one of my XJs. They are pricey, but worth every penny. If I could afford it, I would run bilsteins on all four corners of every vehicle I own!! They are DEFINITELY worth the money. I recently convinced a friend to go bilstein with his wife's WJ. He could afford it. And he is very happy with the results. If you can afford them, get them!! My XJ on 36" TSL super swampers literally rides like a cadillac. I am not joking, it rides smoother than most cars. And it is much more comfortable to be on harsh trails all day long. I used to dread coming down rocky trails after getting up, my back would get sore and you're just sick of getting thrown around. Now it's a cake walk with the bilsteins!! |

If you were asking me, I don't know. JBA sent them to me. I can tell you that the upper shims or whatever (metal inside the rubber bushing) weren't in the top mounts on the rear shocks. I still need to call him back on that. Talk about unexpected fabrication, especially for the money I spent. |
