Bilstein 5100 Monotube Gas Shocks Rear Pair for 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner 4WD

When the time came to address tired shocks; the old ones were leaking, I replaced the old Bilstein shocks with new ones. They were replaced at 220k miles. The miles are on the truck. Not sure how many miles on the shocks but they were still working despite the leaks. The new ones obviously are better and have already been tested in off road situations. They offer a nice ride for a 4x4. Perfect fit, although, the old shocks were difficult to remove due to rust and corrosion. Bilsteins are time tested and proven. Would purchase again.

After 3 years of having the same shocks I went with the same ones again. The ride is comfortable and it’s built to last. Handles well in all type of terrains, definitely worth the money

Who ever designed the 3rd gen 4runners upper shock perch is demented. Save yourself a headache and use a sawzall to remove the original shocks. Now, on to the review... I paired these with OME 906 springs and 880 fronts. My 4runner is a new beast. a perfect combo for a light duty 4x4 camping wagon that mostly runs dirt roads and back country fire roads! I couldn't be happier.

Fitment is great, ride is much improved. Installed these at the same time as OME 906 springs. Ride quality went up, no more rear sag also!

Great part to improve quality of car ride
