SHOCKING NEWS!!!

Bilstein Shocks are here!!

I'm working on getting the 5125 Series loaded onto the site as well.

I've added the 5150 Series as well as the Universal 5100 series with up to 14" of travel.

Please let me know if you can't find the shock you're looking for

I've put a Ford 8.8 under the back of my '89 XJ. It sits on a 3" Skyjacker lift (replacement rear springs) with a 1.5" shackle extension. I initially used the RuffStuff kit, but found it mounts the axle bracket too high. In other words, the shock has to be soo short to not bottom out, that it can't be long enough to extend.

So, I've taken the shock mounts from a stock XJ axle and ground them so that the axle shock mount is pretty much fluch with the bottom of the axle flange. Haven't welded them up yet, but looking for a shock to fit.

Have you any suggestions? I'm running Rancho's now...and hate them!!! I'd like to replace both front and back with something better...stiffer...

I can provide measurements if required (I'm sure they are).

In order to get the proper shock you're going to need to flex the suspenstion and measure the distance between the upper and lower mounting points for both Extended and Compresed lengths.

Don't forget to allow for Bar Pin Eliminators (BPE's) if you plan on installing a set.

The question was asked elsewhere, Why Bilstein and not XYZ Brand?
And a great question it is!
Decide for yourself...

If the Rig is a Rockin....












It's probably time to replace those tired and worn out shocks.
You deserve better ride quality and Bilstein delievers.

Top quality shocks are always in season.
