The Bilstein 5100 system is one of the most popular first-upgrades for adventure seekers, weekend outtings, and general stock-upgrades for the Lexus GX platform. Hailed as a jack of all trades, the front adjustable height struts allow for up to 2-2.5" of leveling/lift height using the factory coil springs.
These shocks improve all around daily driver handling and reduce body roll, while offering better offroad handling in moderately tough terrain at slower speeds. While not the softest shock on the block, these shocks are in it for the long haul and very dependable.
Additional spring options are well suited for replacing the factory springs and adding additional lift or weight handling requirements.
- Utilizes factory coil springs to level/lift the vehicle with 4 height settings. Performance coil springs available
- Bilstein's legendary monotube gas design, with digressive deflective-disc valving to improve both daily driver handling and more aggressive terrain performance
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
