This is a heavy duty Bilstein shock to replace or upgrade your stock rear shock setup on your Jeep Wrangler. Choosing the correct shock for your Wrangler is very important for the ride characteristics of your suspension. A shock absorber is a quick and inexpensive way to greatly increase handling control as well is improve ride quality.
Bilstein is known worldwide for quality and you can feel it the moment you drive your Wrangler after they are installed. The monotube design is constructed to offer superior damping abilities that make this heavy duty Bilstein shock an exceptional choice for heavy hauling or off-road situations.
Backed by a lifetime warranty, these gas charged shock absorbers are constructed specifically for your Jeep with durability in mind. Heat is a major enemy of shock life and shock performance all around. Bilstein has improved upon conventional designs to prevent fade and heat build up, giving their monotube shocks more room for heat to dissipate. The piston inside the shaft is also more than 2x the size of a conventional twin tube piston allowing for greatly improved handling and control.
Rear Bilstein shocks for Jeep Wrangler are sold individually.
They do seem to have reduced the rolling feeling when cornering on my JKU, but the front ones are difficult to install especially the right side because there is no room to get the hex wrench on top. had to weld a nut onto the rod to get an open end wrench on. I should have done that to the left side as well because I suspect it's going to be a bear to remove when the time comes.Other than Bilstein's trying to be cute with the the hex wrench thing I'm happy with the performance. Ask me again in 5 or 6 yrs
