Bilstein B8 5100 Shock Absorber - High-Performance Silver 24-186766 Review

Replaced the stock rear racks on my 2009 Titan with these. Love her. I did it myself - no problem. I liked that the shocks came "semi-compressed" with a strap around them, so their original length was just what they needed at the time of installation. Installed them and then removed the strap. We immediately noticed a better ride; In addition, the squeaking of the old shock absorbers is gone!

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…

I was a little worried about the purchase knowing I would be raising the rear of my 2014 4" Titanium and the Bilstein product catalog says it is for 0" to 1" Based on other car forums I figured I could live with the limitations my 2WD has as I drive mostly on tarmac but occasionally drag in mud.Shock I removed my Titan - which made me nervous at first before installing it .But it turned out it didn't matter for my application!I used a Heavy Metal Suspension reed add kit between the factory reed
