You must drive slow. I noticed a big improvement with 5100's running a rutted beach at 40mph and jumping camel humps. Much less monkey motion in the suspension.

Very different. The Bilsteins are shiny. Also, one is a cheap throwaway shock sold by mounting style and length. The other is engineered specifically for your vehicle.

Unless you had the wrong Bilsteins on your ride, I don't know how you could not tell a difference

Yes they run hot, but haven't blown one yet. Next time I will check the temp with a IR gun, just to have a number. Guess this is where a reservoir shock would be beneficial.

Maybe shocks aren't limiting his body roll anymore cause his broken Rusty's trackbar is allowing his Jeep to flap around haphazardly in the wind
