Reviewed by michael m (GLENDALE, AZ) Reviewed for a 1997 Toyota 4Runner — Tuesday at 3:02 PM
This is my second 3rd generation 4Runner. Each time I received the vehicle, I have driven them for a month or two and just can't handle the suspension(or lack of) while off roading and the sloppy response on the road. I've replaced both Monroe and stock shocks/struts for the Bilsteins. They are worth their money in gold!
Excellent Shocks

Made my truck ride like new. I did not realize how much of a difference new shocks would make. Install on my truck was a pain so I took it to a shop. Anyways...ride quality and handling much improved. Bilstein shocks are a quality product, Autoanything is a great value.

My factory struts on my 2005 Toyota Tundra were toast. So much so that while we were removing them the weld that holds the strut and bolt bushing together completely separated. We were shocked to see this had happened. After swapping the old ones out for the new I felt like I was gliding on air. Real nice struts! Wished I'd swapped em sooner. Aaron J AMJ Masonry

Bilstein HD shocks are worth it.
Reviewed by dustin e (waynesville, MO) Reviewed for a 1999 Chevy Tahoe — May 07, 2013 7:56 AM
As the title says they are worth the money. Great ride over gravel and rough roads. Comfort on the road is good. I'm sure this is why Bilstein makes the comfort shocks. If I was to rate them it would be an "A" only dislike ( which isn't really a dislike) is comfort on road. Just don't feel like I'm floating on clouds.

Best F150 shocks made
Reviewed by Earnest P (HAUGHTON, LA) Reviewed for a 2003 Ford F-150 — May 06, 2013 9:21 PM
I bought a set of new Rancho RS5000 shocks for my 03 F150 FX4 Screw and they felt good for a couple weeks but then the truck started feeling just as rough as it was before the new shock. So I bought a set of Bilstein HD shocks from Autoanything to replace the Rancho shocks and my truck now rides like a dream. The Bilsteins are a little stiffer but not so much that the ride suffers, they are just right and great over the large bumps and potholes that used to rattle my teeth, much smoother now.
Good stiff ride shocks
Reviewed by Timothy G (Reno, NV) Reviewed for a 1998 Dodge Dakota — Apr 25, 2013 10:20 AM
These were recommended by a trusted local shop as I do a lot of off-road driving in pretty rough desert country. They ride a little stiff on the highway but perform very well off road.
Excellent Shock
Well Worth Doing
Reviewed by Michael N (SAN FRANCISCO, CA) Reviewed for a 2003 Nissan Xterra — Apr 24, 2013 3:40 AM
My Xterra is 10 years old with 100K miles. The stock shocks which weren't all that great new were pretty much non-functional. Installing Bilstein HD shocks all around has completely transformed the handling of the vehicle. No more swaying and bobbing going around bumpy high speed corners, no more brake dive, overall a far more controlled and secure feeling on all surfaces.

Hi, That really depends on the degree of lift. A 0-2" lift most likely will be fine

Hi, The heavy duties should help with the rough ride. The grabbing could be an alignment issue though.

2000 4Runner Front Suspension
To replace the front suspension, can I just replace the shock, or do I need to replace a strut assy. I wanted to go with Bilsteins front and rear, but Bilstein only offers a front shock, but I thought I need to replace a strut assy. Can I just replace the front shock?

Hi, It replaces the damper portion of your strut (notice the included spring cup). You will need to reuse your factory spring though.

Toyota Sequoia with 300k miles
I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia SR5 4x4 with over 300,000 miles. I noticed the ride is getting bad. Hit a bump and feel it and rides rough on a not so smooth road. I replaced the original shocks with KYB's at 180,000 miles. I know I need new shocks all the way around so I started doing searches online for the "BEST SHOCKS FOR 2003 TOYOTA SEQUOIA". Blistein's keep coming up, specifically the heavy duty ones. Since I am sold on these shocks, and when I replace the KYB's should I replace the springs up front? Do I have to buy those from the dealer or does anyone know where I can purchase them?

Hi, Replace your springs if your ride height is abnormally low. Otherwise they are probably fine. We don't carry replacement springs for your Sequoia at the moment but we can notify you if we get them by signing up for our email list.

Manufacture date?
When choosing the submodel for Bilstein front shocks, there are two options for my submodel. One says "manufactured to September" and the other says "manufactured from October". I have never seen this asked before. Does the option refer to when the car was manufactured? Chris

are these sold in pairs or individually? I see on the site that I have to order for the front and the rear but I'm not sure if I need to set the quantity for two on both of those so that I get 4 shocks in all.

PROPER SHOCKS FOR TOWING 28' TRAVEL TRAILER
I have a 2004 gmc sierra 1500 4x4 with the towing package on it. I tow a 28' Jayco trailer and noticed I am getting alot of bounce. There are 114,000 miles on the shocks and I am going to replace at least the rear. Am towing from PA to ARK in June. I need some advice as I seem to be getting different part numbers for the rear shocks for this particular truck. There is no lift kit and it is a standard 8' bed. It does have the towing package as I said with an automatic transmission with the towing option. What are the best shocks for stabalizing this truck. We towed from Va. a couple of yrs. ago and every time a large truck passed us it pushed us off the road no matter how much we tried to compensate for it. Thank you.

The most accurate way to get the right shocks would be to remove one shock and take measurements. We will require the extended length, collapsed length, eyelet style and size. Im sure you can find you a set of shocks to fit your application. Please give us a call.
