Will 5100s Help With Nosedive?

[2013Trail]

I wasn't paying attention today as I approached a crosswalk and at the last second saw a pedestrian entering the crosswalk. I slammed on the brakes which resulted in engagement of the ABS and other brake assist features, which was of course followed by sudden severe nosedive.

So I was wondering, do the Bilstein 5100 shocks help to alleviate the nosedive problem? Any recommendations for minimizing nosedive on the 4R?

yes, but the squishy stock springs are equally culpable

 

[Jeremy556]

Sure.

Most folks here (including myself) that have A: installed Bilsteins and B: replaced the OEM tires with LT tires have noticed an improvement in correcting the nose dive and squishy handling.
