Bilstein 5100 Front & Rear

I think you're gonna like the 5100's really made my wk handle better. Not like driving a boat anymore. I used the 5100's on all four corners with the front set to 3/4. Also stacked it with the RRO kit. JBA lifted front UCA also.

I have to replace my entire oil pan due to rust. It like it was never painted. There is a recent write up on here with pictures that's helpful. The fact you have access to a lift will be a huge help. Just easier than laying on your back...

When you install the Bilsteins make sure you check for a washer in the little bag with the nut, that washer goes onto the shaft first and foremost. I'm not sure if 5100's have it but my 4600's did and I had to redo the passenger side because I forgot it. Also replace the spring isolators and strut top hats while you have everything apart.

What did the Bilsteins' cost?

Got mine off Amazon for $107 for the front, and $76 for the rear. On Prime so no shipping...

Phew! I was about to ask you to be my parts shopper/supplier.

Was it DIY project for you B? How difficult are those front struts to replace?

I put 5100s all around my commander, have the fronts at the highest setting, gave me 2.5", did a 1.5" rear spacer lift. Stance is perfect and obviously rides way better, thats why I put 5100s on everything I own.

DIY... It would have been a lot easier if it weren't for the damn clevis.....

Please think of me for Bilsteins etc. I've been a paying Vendor here on the forum for over a decade, a Bilstein dealer for almost 20 years, and my prices are lower than Amazon. Also no sales tax. My passion is for Jeeps and I know the vehicles and the products well. I'm always willing to offer technical advice and installation assistance as well.

PM me here on the forum or email me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Yep kolak is cheaper for the 5100’s!!

So, it begins...

I have a good size weekend project ahead of me. List of things to do (with comments) and in no particular order:

• Install Bilstein 5100's on front and rear (I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll figure it out)
  
• Decide how much lift I want - have not bought new tires yet since mine have enough to get me by...(246/65/R17)
  
• Resume alignment (I started one and the boys at my shop said to bring it back after strut install)
  
• Replace oil pan gasket (may defer this one depending on time allotment)
  
• Oil & filter change (of course)
  
• Replace Rear Wheel Speed Sensor (getting the dreaded "Service Elect. Brake System" & ABS Warning)
  
• Replace A/C Blend door actuator (A/C makes terrible clicking noise)
  
• Replace interior driver's side door handle (When I find the right parts for the right price)
  

Fortunately I have access to a shop that has a vehicle lift bay where I can perform the work.

Any input and advice is welcome!
