You must drive slow. I noticed a big improvement with 5100's running a rutted beach at 40mph and jumping camel humps. Much less monkey motion in the suspension.

Very different. The Bilsteins are shiny. Also, one is a cheap throwaway shock sold by mounting style and length. The other is engineered specifically for your vehicle.

Unless you had the wrong Bilsteins on your ride, I don't know how you could not tell a difference

But I bet they are HOT. Mine have burned my hands before after a few trails.

Yes they run hot, but haven't blown one yet. Next time I will check the temp with a IR gun, just to have a number. Guess this is where a reservoir shock would be beneficial.

Maybe shocks aren't limiting his body roll anymore cause his broken Rusty's trackbar is allowing his Jeep to flap around haphazardly in the wind

Yep. Get some 7100's or some sweet King bypasses.
