The improvement in ride is absolutely dramatic. The jiggling, jouncy ride has been replaced by a much smoother controlled feeling. I was afraid they would make the ride stiffer but it is a beautiful balance between firmness and comfort. The car corners and cruises like a different vehicle. To be honest, i didn't expect a lot because my truck only has 25k miles and the shocks should be like new. Either those old pogos were shot or they were poorly designed in the first place. If anyone is interested the part numbers are BE5-D916-HO and BE5-D917. Bilstein is running a buy three-get the fourth one free this month. $250 free shipping which is cheaper than most OEM replacements. Caribou 1-- if you plan on keeping your jeep for a while --get a set and enjoy!! PS --I don't own any stoc in bilstein. Actually I don't own any stock at all. Lucky me.

I think you are driving on a different type of pavement and you may not have BFG T/A tires. So far, this is the best vehicle I've had in 40 years. It has a weakness in the way the ball joints were mounted on the front suspension and I know one day I may dive into the pavement if I don't keep an eye on these things

Replying to: jayrider (Mar 11, 2009 3:33 pm) I chose to come (on two wheels) and spend rather than buying cheap 'Jeep' labeled products that are sold in popular department stores. I'm wondering how Bilstein can propose such low priced shock absorbers? You have to cut salaries and lay off personnel to do that. So where's the trick? The answer could be here: http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/defective-bilstein-wwwbilsteincom-c974- - 67.html I hope you will not need to join the group mentioned above
