Description
Bilstein 5100 3.5-5″ Front & 4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK) 4WD/2WD Long Arm

Bilstein 5100 3.5-5″ Front & 4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2007 – 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK (2WD / 4WD)

Includes: 4 Shocks (Front: 24-186872 • Rear: 33-186887)

This Bilstein 5100 shock set is designed for Jeep Wrangler JK owners running long-arm kits or high-clearance lift systems in the 3.5 to 5 inch range up front and 4 inches in the rear. Built with Bilstein’s proven 46mm monotube design, these shocks deliver firm, controlled handling, improved stability on and off road, and better suspension performance under larger tires and increased lift height.

The extended travel of these shocks is ideal for long-arm suspensions but requires proper bump stop spacing to prevent over-compression. When set up correctly, 5100s provide predictable damping and excellent off-road articulation without fade.
