5160s Experience
For anyone else curious about Bilstein's 5160 rear remote reservoir shocks, I'm happy to share my experience so far. I recently noticed my OMEs squeaking obnoxiously over even the smallest bumps, and didn't seem to ride correctly after just 18 months of use. I started looking around at fancy rear shocks and quickly drooled over Icons, Kings, and Foxes, knowing damn well they're outta my price range. I stumbled upon the 5160s and was super interested right way but couldn't find any reviews on any forums or pages for them when applied to a 3rd gen. I went out on a limb and ordered a pair from Wheelers Offroad for about $400. Two months in and I couldn't be happier with them. I haven't been to Moab nor do I flex on a daily basis, but for a daily driver that sees trails and rough roads a few times a week, the 5160s have kicked ass so far.
