Bilstein 8100 Bypass Shocks Servicing & Rebuild
Posted by Sean Reyes on
These Bilstein 8100 external bypass reservoir shocks were taken off the 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon that Shock Surplus has been testing different shocks with.
While these 8100s weren’t showing much wear or other signs of failure, but we did want to get the new easy-adjust knobs installed, to ease the ability to adjust on the road. This makes the adjustment go from 5 minutes per corner, down to 30s per corner.
