What’s better Fox or Bilstein?

Bilstein 5100 has lifted vehicle support too, and they function well right until you get to the 4” mark.

The fit is also snugglier if you decide to go big with 4.5” or 5”+ lifts on your offroad monster.

Can you adjust Bilstein 5100 after they are installed?

The adjustable 5100 fronts have a groove in the shock where a ring sits in. Then your perch rests on top of that. Spring is then compressed on top of that. You will have to completely disassemble the shock then reinstall everything after changing the height setting.

Are Bilstein 5100 progressive or digressive?

The Bilsteins Pros are digressive. When driving slow they are a bit stiff over bumps. It does make it a little nice around corners on the streets though. Basically they tend to smooth out when you go faster.

Do Bilstein 5100 preload the springs?

It sure does. The fact is the higher you go, the more the spring is compressed, preloaded.

What does a digressive shock mean?

Digressive is just the opposite of progressive. It starts out stiff, then it tapers off. A progressively valved shock generally will produce a better ride quality, because the shock is softer at slower piston speeds. A digressive shock offers a harsher ride because it is stiffer at slower speeds.

What are digressive shocks good for?

Summary: Digressive shocks are bad at small bumps and large bumps, but good at handling and g-outs. Progressive shocks are good at small bumps and big hits, but bad at handling and g-outs. Linear shocks provide the best all around performance.
