Install not to bad but top of shock on jeep jk hard to get wrench on.no nut to hold on these like factory.but ride is super on jk with 2"" lift on front

Put the shocks on my 2016 jeep wrangler sport the day after arrival. its strictly highway driven and around town. The previous shocks were losing there dampening ability i could tell because i could push them down around half way and they would travel slowly back up aswel as hitting small bumps in road it making it feel like an earthquake. After putting the bilsteins on i didnt notice much if any improvement. $200 isn't much ill shrug it off and ill ride them out until i get a different brand.

As others have mentioned, the included rubber bumper washers are too thick to simply use as is. They can be cut to a thinner width with a sharp utility knife, or a hacksaw if one chooses.The shocks themselves provide a decent ride, not too stiff at all. In fact, if you are looking for ""firmness"" you might be happier with an adjustable shock.My Jeep's previous owner had these already installed when I bought the vehicle. One shock leaked. So I replaced them both. No noticeable improvement in ride was observed.The nice thing was that the Jeep already had a lift kit and wheel spacers - so this was a straight forward replacement issue.Be aware that the very top of the shock spindle has a 5-mm allen wrench socket. That's how you hold the shock body from spinning when you tighten the main nut. I had to cut the end off my 5mm Allen to get it to fit - my Jeep is a 2014 and the passenger side space at the top of the shock is minimal at best.

If you put these on your Jeep, you can steer, even on bumps and stuff. Totally worth the money. They are Billstien shocks. They are the industry standard and don't need me to say they're good. They're made in Germany by guys named Horst who don't have a sense of humor. Expect high quality and accept no substitutions.

Good quality shock
