New shocks - Bilstein 5100s

Ordered Bilstein 5100 shock kit for from Amazon.

Bilstein 5100 Monotube Gas Shock Set compatible with 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ w/5-6" Lift

 Finally they arrived and installed immediately :D




my old shock, BPE  at top, shock is from Mitsubishi L200 pickup, length is identical.

top mounted, fully extended, hope axle will not move down excess this length


rear done


front comparison, old shock is rear shock of Toyota Land Cruiser 80 series, bottom mounting modified. 5100 is longer than old ones, both extended and compressed.
Hope 5100s will not bottom out under full compression of front axle, having approx 3" gap between front bump stop and hockey puck inside coil




shocks arrived 2 kinds of stickers, of course this one is suitable on this window.

;)
