I ended up throwing some bilstein 5100’s all around. Figured I’d try that before spending the money on all the parts to swap. If I have an air problem I’m definitely doing it though.

Hello

Any updates on the bilstein 5100?
Are they any good?
Should i do the same?

So far so good. They ride well and haven’t started leaking. I think they are going to last a good while.

So no bouncing in the back?
Any modification required to install the shocks?
What about the electric front shocks? Any errors signs in the dashboard?
Can you send us the link where you got the shocks?
Thank you for helping

Okay, I've ordered some Bilstein 5100's. I figure if it doesn't work out well, I can always put stock ride-select shocks in again later.

My only dilemma now is which spring perch to use. I'm torn between the lowest (+0.87") and the middle (+1.71").
Do you think the auto-leveling would be able to match the rear height to the 1.71" increase effectively?

I am already running 275/60r20 (33") tires with no problem, but wouldn't mind the slightly higher ground clearance angles.

have you done the swap yet?

from where did you order the shocks, can you share a link?
thanks

The rear ride height will stay the same unless you mess with the sensors.

I went with the lowest setting because my wife didn’t want any lift but she was ok with around an inch in the front. I used my floor jack to show her the different heights.

I swapped the rears myself last Friday. Haven't driven much on them yet but they seem fine. Sometimes I felt like they were softer than stock, other times it seemed like they transmitted the small bumps more. I really don't have a good sense of them yet. The fronts proved more challenging and I'm paying a mechanic to swap them and do an alignment for me today.

I bought mine through Amazon the ones in your link.

Ummm, can you take a picture of the rear shocks (the newly installed ones), i know it is a strange request, but my mechanic (a friend of mine) insists that it will not fit, so I need a picture to shut him up -lol- and show him that it will fit.
Thank you

Thanks for the picture
This B8 5100 not 4600, correct?

I am thinking of installing the front OE shock for platinum, and get the rear from SR5, but i am afraid that the SR5 shocks will be very smooth for the air suspension system, or even save my money and install both from SR5 since they will fit.
I red that the bilstein B6 4600 is the heavy duty shocks for sequoia and the only different between them and the B8 5100 is the height control, and since i am not lifting my truck i will go with the 4600 if i decided to go with bilsteins.
