Anyone put Bilstein shocks on the front of their H3? What benefit do they give you for the $200 cost?

 

I added the Bilsteins simply because I cranked the snot out of my torsion bars and I didn't want to deal with maxxing out the factory shocks. Even with new longer bump stops the nose dips more when stopping than it did at factory height. The Bilsteins are definately longer and do great for the torsion bar crank. Ride seemed to be a little stiffer at first, but I took it off road and settled them in. All seems well now. I'm getting ready to add a winch and bumper, so I'll get to see how they handle the added weight.

 

They are awesome. I do not know ANYONE who has sprung the $$ for them and not been a satisfied customer.

 

Ordered mine from Trail Duty and they are on backorder. Just so you know, the website doesnt warn you. Its going to take 2-3 weeks before i get mine from them. Got my bumpstops within a week from them...cant do much with those alone.

 

I ordered mine from Trail Duty as well.... they were suppose to be in 5/25 but haven't arrived yet.

I'm ready to crank the torsion bars back down because it's so bouncy... I'm hoping the shocks calm it down!
