I was just wondering quality-wise. Probably switching to 5150s when the time comes and I've always heard great things. I'm running RE monotube 512s and 701s right now, could be a better ride for a dd.

If you're looking at 5150's save your dollars for a bit longer and got for 7100's. I bought 5150's and wish I'd held out a bit longer...

Where did you get the info that bilstein made the RE shocks ?
RE Monotube shock is made by Edelbrock on a private label basis .

Rubicon Express Sales
916-473-4603 direct line
866-284-7309 direct fax
Last time I checked Edelbrock manufactured all of its shocks in an Edelbrock facility in Torrance, CA
Superlift, Trailmaster, Skjacker, Fabtech and various other companies sell twintube shocks built by Arvin Meritor (Gabriel)
Pro Comp and Rancho sell twintubes manufactured by Monroe. (Rancho is a wholly owned division of Monroe),
All I know is my Bilstein's 5100's were Made in Germany

I talked with someone from rubicon express over the phone recently. He said that the rubicon express mono tubes were made by bilstein and pretty much identical. He said this because I was concidering using 5100's on my superflex lift.
