Overland Shock upgrades

[Maverickxeo]

Looking for opinions - my rear shocks are shot at 55k KM on my 2023 Overland.

I'm thinking I'd like to replace all four, and am looking for suggestions.

This is a street only vehicle that sees a fair bit of highway travel. I do not have any plans to lift, aside from a leveling puck kit down the road.

bilstein 5100 shocks

Bilstein 5100 is a fairly popular recommendation.

They do ride a little firm. I knew that going in because I used them on another Jeep.

I've had them on my Gladiator for about 65k miles. They have been great for me.

Bilstein 5100s on mine with a leveling kit in the front.

A little more firm than how my Sport rode stock, but not terrible.

All of my original shocks were leaking fluid by 25K miles.

Another vote for Bilstein

Sounds like Bilsteins are still the go to! I have them on my heavily modified TJ - definitely leaning that way on my Gladiator too - thanks!

American made Eibach . I have used 5100's on a number of vehicles and were never really happy but they are cheap . I had always heard Eibach were much like the 5100 just a little smoother on the road and so I gave them a shot . I used their springs on a Ram and was very pleased. I replaced the Eibach with the FOX/JKS 2.5 but they were a bit too soft in the front and went back to the front Eibach .

I have recently installed Bilstein 5100's on my Rubicon. They are not too firm with 5 hundred pounds of gear. The ride is really nice.

The best overall that is designed for an extra 0-1.5” level/lift, are the Bilstein 5100’s. All 4 for around $500. Good luck.
