Review on Bilstein 33 186887 5100 Shock Absorber by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 3 out of 5

On the passenger side - a nightmare to install

Put that on my JK. It was a nightmare. They are of the highest level, but it will not work to install them due to the design. Everything is simple with the rear shock absorbers, but with the front shock absorbers it is a completely different story. The passenger side to be exact. You should have room to put Alan's wrench on top to tighten it and the jk doesn't give room. Bad design from Bilstein. My Old Man Emu had simple shock absorbers. Those are big shocks, but the setup is terrible. I immediately regretted it and would have bought a different shock if I had known about it beforehand. After a long search I finally put them on.

Pros
  • Country of origin: USA
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
