BEST BILSTEIN 5100 FRONT SHOCK UPGRADE EVER!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2018
- In this video I upgrade and replace the front shocks in my 2003 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 with Bilstein 5100 series. The install was very easy and straight forward with just a few nuts and bolts. This process should be very similar with Tahoe, Yukon, Silverado and Sierra. www.1roadgarage.com

I know it’s an old clip but your expression after the swap was priceless. Nice job.
Though this video is 4 years old, it was very helpful tackling this project with the 5100’s on my 2005 Suburban this weekend! Thanks Jimmy!
Thanks man. You’ve inspired me to do the install on my tundra myself. I want to level the front of my truck. I had one shop quote me $800 for 2.5 inch spacer only and another shop $500 with bilstein 5100 adjustable.
Enjoy your videos. I picked up a low mile 03 Sub Z71 and I am going to put the same shocks on it. Your video motivated me to do it myself.
That final reaction said it all. "YEAH!!". Can not wait for mine to come in for my silverado 3500. Feel like I'm riding on cinderblocks currently
you get them installed yet? what do you think about them? have a 3500 also
Same man my truck ride extremely rough my blisteins get here tomorrow!
Cordless impact- best tool I have ever bought! Use it constantly, and keep it in the truck in case I, or someone else, ever gets a flat.
Love the simplicity of torsion bars
Did 5100s front and rear with Helwig sway bars on my 2015 Silverado 1500 4X4 a couple years ago. Very happy with them.
What notch did you set yours at and what was the resulting lift?
@@RedBeardDevelopment The top one. Leveled the truck out. Rides great.
I'm waiting right now for my 5100s to come in. Same rig same year. Great vid
How are they holding up? You like them?
"I'm pretty shocked, guys!" 😂
I have them on my 89 YJ. By far the best money spent on upgrading it.
Just because of your videos and information I will be installing a set of Bilstein 5100 on my 2008 Hummer H3 and I will let you know.. Thanks so much for all of the information..
Ed Rodriguez you never let us know..
Great video man. Make your life easier, crack those lug nuts loose before you jack up the truck!
With the leverage of a breaker bar they're extremely easy to break loose even off the floor.
Just use an impact! Cordless or air powered !
Man you've got me beat in the comfort zone, never seen a guy mechanic'n with some flip flops on hahaha
It's nice of your city to build you a suspension torture test track. My area is probably even worse and I'm about to replace my Silverado's struts with Bilstein as well.
I put these on my 2012 f150, front and rear. Great upgrade. I had put 35/12.50/18s with a 2.5 level kit on the stock suspension and the steering wheel wanted to jump out of my hands at every bump. With the bilstiens there is virtually no movement and the overall ride improved 100 percent. The only downfall is I lost about a half inch in the front,I just had to trim a little more plastic.👍🇵🇱🇺🇸
@1 Road, I followed your exact procedure here however, just a note for everyone else, on a 2002 Suburban the top nut is a 15mm not a 14 like yours. The bottom bolt as well is a 21mm not a 1/2 inch as yours.
Thanks for the info! This helps everyone.
Just put these on my 03 av. They perform much better than the KYB Gas-a-just I bought it with. New rear coil springs installed as well. Just ordered all new front suspension parts which I'm planning to install this weekend. Cant wait to see how it rides with a new suspension.
For 2WD GMT800 trucks, it is slightly different that uses springs over the shocks instead of torsion bar. Top is the same but bottom is 2 bolts, then drops right out. There is no need to mess with the spring but if they're worn, it would help to spend the extra $100 for pair of replacement springs.
Holy crap... This must have taken you 3+hrs with all them hand tools ! .....
Removing those hideous pinstripes would make for an excellent movie! PLEASE!
Dude I love those pin stripes!!!
Word!
I ride on 5100s and Michelins too on my 4runner. The ride is just cant be beaten imo.
I’m a huge fan of your videos, I own a 96 suburban 1500, I can’t wait what else you do to you suburban
Thanks for the video I wasn't sure which shocks I should go with in my 2000 Toyota 4runner I've been eyeing these Bilstein but watching your video from your reaction made me make up my mind on these and thank you
you make this look simple. Try removing that upper stud nut when it is completely rusted. I had to cut mine off after compressing with a floor jack
I did the same thing with RC n2.0 lifted shocks in the front. LOL my expedition was amazing in front and super crap in the back even though all my shocks were in good shape. So I instantly ordered rears. FYI the 5100 have known exploding issues. So until they correct the design of the aluminum stick with 4600 or other brands.
I thought ride is supposed to be stiffer than oe shocks ?? What do u think
Nice! I am about to tackle changing out the front steering and suspension components on my 97 K1500. I leveled it and had to get some shock extenders because the ride was so harsh.. I plan on getting some of these 5100's as part of the front end rebuild. Thanks for the video!
where did you find the 5100 series for your '97 K1500 AustiNole?
I found an early pair of 7100s stored away and want to fit them to my taco rears…what mounting hardware is needed for the expansion tubes
They have blue aeroquip hoses that are not flexible for a parallel mount….they look like museum piecses
4:56 those boots tho.; Please slide them down some. Instructions say about 10" from the bottom
If you can take the lugnuts off with the tire off the ground you definately didnt torque them down right those should be anywhere from 100-140 ft pounds.
Yeah when he jacked it up I was like you forgot to crack them free... Then he just loosens them like anything else
I thought the same thing 😂
probably broke them loose on the ground
He broke them loose before jacking it up
Replaced my shocks with Billstein 5100 but I HAD to change the Sway bar with a Hellwig because the shocks are more aggressive, and the stock sway bars will make the truck feel like flipping over. With the Hellwig and 5100s my truck drives like my Car. Soaks up bumps, and less body roll
live for the speed bumps.
@1ROAD any issues with ur bilstein b8 shocks?
I discovered these zinc plated on the 5100 have corroded after 3-4 winters.
Did these 5100’d happen? Or they still have a good zinc plated surface?
Problem with mine is they make me rock like I got hit by the world biggest tidal wave. Can’t wait to see the difference after front and rear replacements.
There is difference, but did the ride become softer? Like the Denali?
I dont understand what the difference is with front ends that just have the shock only and front ends with the shock and spring coil. My 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD has the whole strut assembly so it doesn't seem as easy to replace as this. Any help is appreciated.
I know this is 11months past due but I hope you learn something. The GM trucks with only Front shocks have torsion bars that run under the truck into the lower control which act as a Spring. While other 2wd GM trucks of the same year have coil springs and Shocks. Your truck does not have a Strut assembly. It has Coil and shock . GM trucks didn’t come with strut assembly until 2007NBS . Some GM 2 wd trucks do come with torsion bars but it’s rare.
Just to add ALL 4x4 GM trucks of that year used torsion bars
Since u tow a lot you may want to go with the monroe load adjusting rear shocks. I was thinking of doing the monroe but I dont tow. Just to note my 03 gmc yukon xl is lifted 6 inches and has bilstien 5160 shocks
Kyle Robinson
Lol monroe suxs
I had rancho Adjustable shocks and never find the right setting until I changed them for bilstein
Those front shocks were not original. They should have been blue with a much larger top dust cover. Also GM uses real beefy bushings for the top that have a metal sleeve that goes through the bottom hole and mated to the top bushing. I just replaced my front shocks on my 06 4x4 yukon and at 140K miles they were still in decent shape. It took a lot of force to push them down. I used Bilstein 4600 in the front with new GM top bushings. It rides better. The rear I left alone with the beefy load leveling shocks. Let us know how the rear rides after the spring and shock upgrade.
These shocks are worth the money!
Stoked? Yes. Shocked? No. 😂
I just replaced all my shocks on my Silverado 1500 and it still feels the same!! Waste of money!! Or maybe I did something wrong but I don't think so.
You make great videos. Thank you.
Can’t wait to put mine on my 98 zj
We want you to try this shock on ford Expedition 14 if you can
what's your opinin about passing bumps with 5100 shocks on low speeds? Are 5100s good for bad roads with potholes on low speeds?
Good job man .
Nice just might have to replace mine with the same ones it's been 10 years since I've replaced them
Do you do alignment after?
Bilstein that’s the only brand that I buy 01 03 Sierra 07 Silverado 08 Tahoe and 2018 Tacoma lifted
There might be more expensive brands but don’t make them better
How about put the top of the shock into its mount hole before bolting in the bottom of the shock??!! I was not impressed with the block of wood method lol
I forgot to ask if it raises the front of your Jeep a few inches will the rear shocks also raise the rear of your Jeep
He’s..... shocked 😂😂😂😂
I feel like a strut combination between a coil and shock would of been best.
Any idea what size the bolts are? I live in the rust belt. Did my rear ones already. I’d like to know what size and length the front shocks bolts are so I can have them before the install. That way someone doesn’t take my front wheels before I get back from the hardware shop lol.
Great video. I am actually considering doing just about everything about my suspension and steering on my 03 Sierra. I'm either considering Gabriel or Belltech
Martin Fuentes
I had belltech 03 Sierra rear and never like them and changed them for bilstein and it was much better
As a Land Rover owner, we tend to go with Bilstein, Fox, Terrafirma (TF) or Old Man Emu (OME) shocks. I prefer Fox & TF. 👍🏼
Where did u order yours i have a 03 tahoe than i need to replace the shocks front ans back. Thanks
Great video
Is alignment needed ob torsion bar suspension after shock replacement?
Nice.. it will b nice if u get a used 4 runner as project for overland.🌈
Can’t wait for the next video
Thanks for the toilet TV!!
Good job Jim! 🙂
Do these work/fit on a 04 Sequoia? I just got it for my wife, but it has 130k miles and I can tell it needs improvement in this area.
Great videos! Check out some of the neat stuff Cognito Motorsports makes for these trucks. They have stronger steering upgrades and even upper control arms for a bit more suspension travel.
Will be looking into that. Thanks!
Hey Jimmy I love your videos and watching Them I have learned a lot from you but I have a question are you crying before the video or Were you just medicating 420
Great video! You can definitely see the difference between front and rear.
Great video production.. one thing.. break nuts loose before lifting!
You need to invest in some electrical tools man... Makes jobs like these, super easy! Great video.
@ 5:51 pretty "shocked" guys! PUN INTENDED :)
I have 1993 Chev 1500 4.3 what are good shocks for the front end.
What are best shocks or coil for 2015 Silverado 1500
I have GMC Sierra 99 4x4 Which one do you recommend to me? Thanks
Great video !!
Which shocks would you recommend for a Cadillac DTS ?? Thanks !,
Bro bruh brother man what about the air ride suspension, can i put these 5100z on that? Gmc denali
Do you have a recommendation for front shocks on a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe
You're shocked! Nice play on words. 😂
mmend a front suspension upgrade for my 2004 explorer xlt v8 4.6lt..I’ve looked everywhere..would like to lift about 2 inches I take it on the beach to go surf fishing..anyone help would be greatly appreciated
Those bil shocks would they work for 99 Chevy suburban? Mr. 1Road
Do you know if they'll work for a 2010 Tahoe lifted 5 inches
What are the specs on those wheels you are running on the Burban now? They look like newer oem Silverado rims, I’m looking into possibly getting some for my 05 GMC Sierra 1500
They are 2018 Suburban rims and tires. Brand spanking new. I have a video about them if you search my channel. Love them.
Will these keys fit a denali version?
the 4600 and 5100 are no different when it comes to actual performance and dampening. The only difference between the two is the aesthetics and the ability to put a minor lift on the vehicle with the 5100s. You should not have felt any difference between your 95 suburban and this one as the actual performance of the two Bilstein models are identical.
Do you still love them? Ive heard they are a little rough and bouncy compared to oems.
Not bouncy but very stiff
@@mrbones350 I have the same concern. When you say it's stiffer than the OEM , does it mean its more comfortable or not ?
@@ramishalabi Still a comfortable ride. You can tell the tires really plant themselves
Are the links you put in the description sold in pairs or separately?
Great video
I feel like i heard somewhere shocks are only rated for like 25,000 or 50,000 miles
More like 50k to 70k
Got about 100k out of my wife's 08 suburban before i noticed degradation on the suspension performance.
They weren't too long? They ended up being too long on the front of mine. Had to get shock extenders and use Bilstein 4600 series
Would you say that those shocks really shocked you?
Hello, How many PSI are you running in the review?
They are not great because the shock itself is great, they feel great because they are new. If you want baseline you should have bought oem shocks and placed them before the bilsteins. But what do i know.
Jay G
You don’t know shit
I replaced my 07 Silverado LTZ front struts for bilstein 5100 and the difference was noticeable much better
98% of people don’t know their vehicle but I’m in the 2%
Bilstein are the best
@@reyperez3424 and how old were the shocks that you replaced?
@@GrimYak i still think the 5100s are a slight step ahove orm bilstein 4600s.
wow nice work
Hey Jimmy,
Great videos!! I've got a 1995 GMC k1500. I think the previous owner adjusted torsion to clear larger than stock tires. Beyond that it's a stock truck. I'm considering the 5100 series, do you know if the same shocks you've shown will fit my truck?? Thanks in advance!
is this alright for lowered spindles at the front?
Hey just wondering if anybody knows where i can find them but i lifted my 2002 z71 burban 3 inchs and they gave me a spacer for the rear coil well id rather have a 2in longer coil anybody know where i can pick up 2in larger springs for it?? Cant find them anywhere
If you're concerned about the rear of the vehicle, you should be equally concerned about the front. Modified torsion keys is not the proper way to lift a GM with torsion bars. You should acquire a proper lift kit like the full kit from Rough Country. Modified torsion keys increase the angle of your front drive shafts and creates undo stress on the assemblies. The 6" kit from Rough Country maintains factory drive train angles. This is just friendly advice.
@@RYTHMICRIOT honest truth rough country full lifts fuck everthing up terribly you get what u pay for. I used keys and it runs fine keep my angles good i pretty much just lifted it back to stock heigh. Torsion bars lower after a long time so ur just taking the key back to normal.
How come your truck starts after long crank, on your video beginning?
Always been like that
Nice man I still want Eibach shocks and springs might try their lift kit for my 05 Yukon
These shocks work for a 1500hd Silverado?
Can the 5100's go on a 2wd 1500?
Do they fit on the 03 LT suburban
