Re: Bilstein 5100 shocks installed....question???

Howie K-
The Bilstiens are generally recognized as one of the best "direct-replacement" shocks that you can install on a vehicle. When the guy at the shop mentioned "not even an off-road shock" he is pretty much mistaken- thousands of miles in Baja would counter that.
What I believe he is referring to is that it's not a reservoired shock. Most people think that you need reservoirs to have a true off-road shock. These shocks are fairly specialized, similar to the Radflo shocks Greg now has available. These shocks only truly provide benefit when you're going fast in the chop, which tends to overheat the shock oil (reservoir provides more oil) which creates shock fade.
All told, I think the Bilsteins are the best bet for you. From your pics, it doesn't look like long distance off-road sprints are your thing.
