Upgrading my YJ to Bilstein 5125 Shocks and Fabricating new mounts!
Рет қаралды 5,294
Күн бұрынTime for new Bilstein Shocks on the YJ! I also fabricate new shock mounts on my rear axle. My daughter helped me alot in this video with cameras and changing the front shocks, I hope you guys enjoy! I originally used rancho shocks from an f350 when I first did the build(they were long enough but too stiff)

I ran 5125s front and 5150 rear on my former '94 YJ, great combination with Rubicon Express HD 4.5" springs. As I recall I had M.O.R.E. extension mounts F&R. The whole deal worked great for the mid 2000s, 36" IROKs on 15" TR HD beadlocks. Hated selling that rig.

Do you drink from a steen? Or a stine? Bill-stine. Bill-stines also take about 30 minutes of drive time to “warm up.” They are stiff at first.

If you want a less stiff ride, try relocating your shackle mounts, and increase your shackle length,(that will also increase travel by an insane amount
@FlawedOffroad Жыл бұрын
I actually have a pretty decent shackle angle with the longer springs. The front rides quite nice but Im going to attempt to lower it down an inch, removing another leaf from the pack. the rear is going to get 4 linked in the future

What did you use for the rear upper towers for your shocks, I would like to steal your idea on my CJ.
@FlawedOffroad 11 ай бұрын
They are from a ford truck, I can’t recall the year but it’s super popular. If you google “ford truck shock towers” or look on pirate I’m sure the year will reveal itself as I can’t recall. I heavily modified them and they are notched out and welded down the backside of my frame but you can also c notch the frame and sink them in

Anyone know if these fit on f350 stock height? Having a hard time getting it to fit.
@FlawedOffroad 2 ай бұрын
I mean theres a million size shocks that bilstein makes, the ones im using are not vehicle specific. Search up the bilstein catalog and it will tell you exactly which ones for a stock f350 that you need(or you can browse the "universal" shocks but you really need to know the collapsed/extended lengths if youre going to use those) I think 5125's are the non specific fit and 5150 are vehicle specific IIRC
