Are Bilstein shocks better than stock shocks?
The Bilstein 5100 zinc plated monotube shock is described by Bilstein as being more oriented for lifted trucks, heavier-than-stock vehicles, trucks or Jeeps running larger wheels and tires, and basically anything modified and not factory.

Do Bilstein shocks need bump stops?
Virtually All Bilstein Struts come with Internal Bump Stop, located at the bottom of the Bilstein Strut (front strut only). Pesonally I don’t recommend removing the Internal Bump Stop (this was not your question anyway) as this will definitely void your warranty.
Are Bilstein 4600 shocks good for towing?
A safe and dependable shock upgrade for towing are Bilstein 4600/5100 series, KYB monomax, Rancho RS7MT, Rancho RS9000XL. All of which have their pros and cons. We typically recommend Bilstein since the digressive valving nature of the shocks provide the most aid in vehicle handling.
Are Bilstein 4600 or 5100 better?
Most drivers probably wouldn’t even notice a difference between the 4600 and 5100 on their commute under the same vehicle and circumstances. The only real differences come if that same vehicle had a higher center of gravity from a lift kit, or if that same vehicle has larger wheels and tires over factory specs.
How long should Bilstein shocks last?
If you garage it most of the time and are mostly highway driving, no towing, and drive like a grandpa/grandma, then 100K seems quite reasonable. I have about 20K on my 5100s and they feel as good as when I installed them. I’d expect them to last at least 75K.
