Bilstein shocks on my Jimny :) was created by TomDK
So finally got my new Bilstein shocks installed. A near perfect match to the +2" Trail-Master springs.

They are a bit harder than the Rough Country N2.0 shocks, but a much smoother ride.
Have yet to try them out in hard terrain, only gravelroad with some decent potholes at around 60-70 km/t. Works flawlessly :)

So I can only recommend these shocks if you want an upgrade to your Procomp or Rough Country shocks :)

Now I just need some shorter extended brakelines :P

Bilstein! Blimey! Dare we ask how much they were Tom? :ohmy:

(I used to sell the standard length ones, and they were dear enough!)

No problem Dave :)

They're roughly £95 each including shipping, custom, tax etc. US import.

Bilstein shocks are only available for the Jimny in standard length, so had to find some universal shocks that match length, travel and valving. Took some time figuring it out :)

I'm very excited about this things.
What is the Bilstein part number?

I use KYB 553158 on my street Jimny (+6cm lifted) and they are very good.



Thank you !
