BILSTEIN 5100 Deep Dive | SHOCK VALUE S2

[@Gazziza29]

I'd like to see a 6112/5160 combo in your next test

[@lalalalalalallalallal]

YEs second this. also the eibach stage 2r comparison!

[@pennmikael]

and also if 6112/5100 makes a difference. saves $200

[@OverlandOutfitters]

Both the 6112/5160 and eibach stage 2 are in the mid budget test out this fall!

[@Whocares69123]

@@pennmikaelI don’t think a video is necessary to tell you and external resi is gonna be better than a 5100, more oil volume/ cooler

[@vicoll135]

Second on this

[@project4funner]

Tinkerer’s adventure did a deep dive on ifs and the 5100 proved to have more travel than a higher end 2.0 or 2.5 that’s advertised as extended travel.

[@paultrujillo9923]

I have them on my leveled 2012 Ram 2500 4x4. They are made individually, for each application, for optimal performance. My truck is leveled NOT lifted, so i had to get the specific shocks. Ive had them on for 10+ years, and they still perform phenomenally, no issues, no leaks, no noise, sure footed and stable at all speeds/heavy loads/trailering. Best bang for buck value, out there, in my opinion!

[@rrarogal7958]

Stoked to hear the 5100s will be included with the mid tier shocks like the 6112s! Can’t wait for the season 3 release.

[@tsslaporte]

Got 5100s on my XJ with Rubicon Express springs/leafs, really happy with them even 5 years later!

[@bspizzledizzle]

Same same. Works great.

[@aquase]

I'd love to see Ironman FCP and the Dobs MRR in the next one.

[@trailrunnah8886]

This is so surprising, I'm now kind of annoyed that I immediately disconnected these and spent more money on something else (Eibach 2 O coilovers). I had thought Eibach was going to be a step up, but sounds like I may have been happy with the 5100. I haven't installed them yet though, I'm looking forward to your next test to see if the 2.0s do any better than the 1.0.

[@oaknshell]

I’d be very interested in the OME MT64s next to the 6112s in season 3 🙃

[@rl8198]

Pls test IRONMAN FOAMCELL PRO and BP51

[@SidWray]

Love these reviews! Can’t wait for the mid-level season 3 with 6112s in the mix. I’m curious why the Fox Performance 2.0s weren’t included though? I’m happy with them on my F150.

[@kfusmc]

Great information. I have a 2016 Tacoma with the 4600, but only 50,000 miles. Looking at upgrading to the 5100. If I didn't live 2500 miles from your shop I'd be coming to see you. Keep the videos coming.

[@OverlandOutfitters]

Glad you enjoyed it! If you're in the market, we do ship shocks!

[@kfusmc]

@@OverlandOutfitters I will keep that in mind. Thank you.

[@thedude828-ed2nn]

I have a Nissan frontier and i have the 5100 kit from all dogs off-road and i have them matched with all dogs coil springs and they are set on the bottom setting but it still gives me 2 inches of lift. Man they run great and feel better than factory they are a little bit stiffer but almost not noticable and they are awesome on road and off-road even better!!

[@Treetopflyer777]

I have these on my 5th Gen 4R. Ive combined them with taller Dobinsons spring to provide the lift (vs using the clips) and they’re awesome for 99% of what I need.

[@zeek693]

Would love to see this kind of stuff on a 4Runner or GX, anything without a leaf sprung rear.

[@dsaltlife2925]

I have the 5100 on my 4runner set at 1.75 are they are performing great . Looking forward to the next video.

[@SteezerZimmer]

would love a comparison between the 5100s and 6112/5160 Thanks!

[@sleeks9939]

My rear 5100 shocks snapped on my last month 😢 it was pretty dangerous when it happens. Idk how still a mystery.

[@Absolute_Unit135]

Please include the Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro shocks in the next one!

[@Luckingsworth]

With the issues they have had with bent coils I am surprised anybody trusts them anymore. Many many defective products.

[@Absolute_Unit135]

@@Luckingsworth their springs bend? Where can I find more info on this? I already have them installed on my truck

[@Kronusoverland]

I have 5100s on my Nissan titan pro 4x ,,, 6inch lift,, love em!!! Also had on my xterra,, great shock for the money 💰

[@erichawkins6231]

This is awsome cuz I have 5100s on my 08 tacoma I couldn’t offord king or fox it’s good to know the bilsteins where the optimal choice for me mine mostly battle the California roads

[@richardbryant3843]

What do you guys think about the Ironman Nitros and the Foam cells?

[@n00bstacle]

It would be cool to compare the mod tier shocks to a ford raptor with live valve shocks to see how big the difference really is

[@Mr88Andrew88]

At 5:00 you say they’d fade after a few hours. Do you mean that would be permanent? Or just they’d heat up so they don’t work at the moment?

[@OverlandOutfitters]

Shock fade is basically when the oil gets too hot and cavitates, decreasing damping. Once they cool down they will return to normal. However, if you overheat your shocks a lot, the oil will break down faster, meaning they would need to be rebuilt, or in the case of these budget shocks, replaced, to have the same performance again.

[@Echo22WC]

Should be the title for the 6112s 😉

[@MichaelObregon-dv1dk]

Can you test out the koni raids on y’all’s next mid-range test?

[@noobasdfjkl]

It's insane that the guy on the left is put in the right ear, and the guy on the right is put in my left ear. Why why why

[@christophervillalta2006]

Let's go, Season 3!

[@everss02]

had some on a 2013 f150 2wd, GREAT on highway.

[@roymiddleton5760]

You guys need to test the konis against these

[@Dudemanson]

Stock leaf pack in the back during all the tests?

[@scottaprilguinn3676]

Have y’all done a super budget shock like rancho / rough country ?

[@MichaelObregon-dv1dk]

Can you also test the koni raids for your mid test?

[@64dolph72]

Are these good for everyday driving ? Light off road ?

[@user-blacktaco2golf]

I’m curious on using only 1” of lift with 33” 285 tires. Did you have rub issues to resolve?

[@rmsfootball63]

Lift doesn’t increase tire clearance unless you are never flexing and only riding to the mall in an IFS suspension.

[@richardpowell1389]

Bilstein all day

[@brulew976]

Any plans to throw in the Koni Raid 90's on the mid-range test?

[@kylemattfield4431]

Can you tear them apart? Cut them up and show us the insides, let us know if its any good. I would really like to know if the 5100 vs 6112 upgrade is worth it for guys who dont wheel hard (or at all)

[@michaelgraffis8866]

i thought bilsteins thing was 'fade free perfromance'

[@J-Murph412]

What happened to our Bilstein 6112/5160 vs Eibach Stage 2R vs Ironman Foamcell Pro comparison video? It’s fall now, mid October :(

[@OverlandOutfitters]

We are working on it!!!

[@BL00DRAINE]

Do you ever do tests with F150's?

[@felipemoore9926]

Are bilstein 6112 5160 even better?

[@OverlandOutfitters]

can't wait to find out in the next season!

[@Somynigga]

@@OverlandOutfittersany way we can get videos on a 4runner , more weight then the Tacoma and rears don’t have leafs Might change results I’ll volunteer my 4th gen if yall are in SoCal lol

[@JaredBusch]

I have 5100's, all 4 corners, on my 5th gen 4runnr, hate the ride quality on and off-road

[@whosonfirst7610]

Hahaha i’ve been using these on my Tacoma with OME springs, i’m sooo happy with my budget decision so far.

[@mz1906]

throw these on the stock 2019-2023 ranger with the cock stiff mono leaf with zero travel and get back to me (ask me how I know, rear end walking all over the road on the smallest cracks/potholes, forget offroading) Everyone is recommending these but you need to put out the caveat that they could be ok paired with a not dogshit stiff leaf springs that would turn your car like you're running concrete wheels.. dogshit ride quality with these. Sold em after a week

[@sawyerheslep8493]

Idk for Rangers, most of us watching are Toyota, jeep, or Nissan fans.

[@mz1906]

@@sawyerheslep8493 I travel for work so I get to rent a few cars. I think 5100s would have been bad also for the jeep 4xe and the new frontier as they rode extremely stiff and uncomfortable already. The Frontier was the worst riding quality vehicle I ever had the displeasure of driving. I had to apologize to my passengers.

[@sawyerheslep8493]

@mz1906 idk. If u want plush performance suspension buy King or Bilstein, Fox. I like my 8112s dsa+ and 8110s bypass. Yes, I know 8k for performance suspension on a 3rd gen taco. Lol. They can be stiff, but I can adjust the low and high speed as well as the internal bump stop. Depends on how u have these shocks dialed as is the case with most shocks that are adjustable with high and low. But what do I know?

[@mz1906]

@@sawyerheslep8493 my point being if you want plush don’t go Bilstein 5100s and definitely not the turbo autistic suspension setup that is the Ranger

[@sawyerheslep8493]

@mz1906 I think I might of heard that the new Rangers have limited options when it comes to performance suspension. Idk tho.
