Review on Bilstein B8 5100 Shock Absorber - High-Performance Silver 24-186766 by Justin Coatsworth

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent purchase! Best Parts

Purchased for 2008 Nissan Titan Pro-4X Standard Ride Height, 80,000 miles. I asked a local mechanic to install them for me. The truck drives well. It's like a new ride! Handling is MUCH better. The truck rattled and rumbled as it passed small bumps, such as a metal rail that the gates of a condominium ride on. Now it's just a smooth bump. The truck used to bounce up and down an additional 50 to 100 feet when going through rough street crossings, now it adapts easily and smoothly. Running behavior becomes more elastic and smoother. You can't be wrong. I love these shocks. They're bigger than some cheap Monroes, but they're very, very good and should last longer. Edit, Revane sent me some tattered open boxes covered in cling film which really bothered me. But the mechanic had everything needed and the installation went well as the shock absorbers had not yet been used and all the necessary equipment was already on the truck. Note to Revain: It's best to put them in a shipping carton as the manufacturer didn't pack them well.
