🔧 Bilstein 33-187501 5100 Series High-Performance Shock Absorber Review

Absolutely the BEST shock for my truck. Prevented the washboard effect that the 145" wheelbase F150 experiences on some muddy roads. To date, handling is better than stock shocks with 27,000 miles! I would put them on the new F150! Firm but smooth. Used front and rear. Raised the front end by 1.5 inches. Just made the truck. It looks great and gives it a completely different feel. A great feeling!

I have an 11 year old F-150. I had 3 sets of rear shocks - Stockers, then yellow Bilsteins, then Eibachs. They all pale against the background of these upheavals. I wish I had bought them a long time ago. I thought they might be too tight. and i was wrong These are the only dampers that adequately control the rear suspension. Yes, I know they're trucks - so know not to expect miracles - but trust me when I say it's the best I've tried.

Great pair of shock absorbers. I was skeptical about their availability. They work great. My 16 F-150 used to have a tail jump, but now it eats bumps for dinner. Very glad I received them. One wonders why they weren't included at all. If you have an F-150 I would take it, the ride is much better. Installation was very easy, 25 minutes with a wrench. Make sure you have some kind of pry bar that really helps. No need to lift the truck, just slide underneath it on your back.

Installed on the rear axle of a 2012 Ford F-150 4WD. There were no changes in ride height in my truck. I changed the shocks at 54,000 miles as I was tired of the rear wheel bouncing when going over manhole covers and similar bumps. This shock seems to have better rear end control. The ride is not difficult. I should have replaced the shock absorbers sooner. The stock shocks I removed were still gas filled so they still worked as intended. These shock absorbers are better than the original.

Bought these for my F150 FX4 SCrew 145' '13. The FX4 off-road variant has off-road shocks (harder) than the regular F150 shocks, hence this truck drives -Model quite hard. I love these shocks. They dampen the handling and still allow the truck to hold its composure even when cornering or cornering. Front ride height adjustments were also made and the shop that installed them raised the front of mine truck by 1 inch (2.5 inches. " is the maximum setting you can add). What I particularly noticed…

Just put them on and drove my truck down one of the worst paved streets in my town and these things are amazing. I noticed that my tires were strangely worn, on the rear passenger tire on the outside shoulder and on the rear driver's tire on the inside shoulder. I leveled my truck and still noticed wear that looked jagged so I decided to replace the shocks as I already have a 5100 up front to level my truck (2011 F150 FX4). My truck has done 79,000 miles and I wish I had put them on sooner, the

Okay, first of all everyone reading the comments is looking for that clear review, detailed review. Many people fear that they are making it "harder". I have a lot of experience with mechanics and a great knowledge of how the suspension should be. First off, the factory shocks aren't the best, but they work and offer a great, decent ride for basic use. The problem with Original Equipment shocks is that they overheat quickly and cause the usual rear triangle shake or side impact that everyone…
