This and the front end install are such helpful videos! Mechanics want $800 to install the front and rear, with the help of these videos I feel confident to do it on my own, thanks for posting this!
I was a little apprehensive about doing it myself and I am so glad I didn't after finishing the job. There are a few headaches along the way but it really isn't that hard!
I did all four on my 4Runner, very straight forward.
I did run into trouble with the front passenger side and had to cut the nut off.
I enjoyed the fact that there was no music and you are a very calm speaker. Ty for these videos, very helpful.
Great video. Appreciate that disclaimer about following your instructions at the beginning but this was all I watched! The only difference I found helpful was to use the jack to compress the new shock. Also torque spec is 30 at top and 72 ft pds on the bottom. The shocks are easy peasy!
You are the best dude. Thanks for all these videos.
My install instructions directed me to install the metal cup washers inverted from the direction of which you installed yours.
You motivated me, to do this on my own. Thank-you
Dude, just watched this and your other video on the front Bilstein install. Super detailed, step by step, with a bunch of tips here and there. I'm going to be putting Bilstein front and back (coilover for front, rear shock with reservoir for rear) on my 4runner and will be using these videos from start to finish! (+/- a few details because of slightly different hardware) Thanks for the great content.
in the beginning I was a little impatient with the directions you gave, however after doing this exact install, I am grateful that you did this and the other video that details the front install. You do a really great job of explaining and detailing the process. Out of all the videos available on U tube yours is by far the best and easiest to follow along with. Thanks for being patient and thorough in your explanations and the work that your doing.
Much appreciated! Thanks
Jay T.
It was as tedious to make as it is to watch, but I felt like other videos skip steps that are assumed to be easy and I wanted to be complete. Thanks for the positive feedback!
Mike C honestly, there are so many videos out there that assume that the viewers know all the small details of an install or improvement that people are looking up/searching for online. They fail to make the connection that the people who are looking to RUclips to walk them through an install, are (usually) the people who need the extra details and tips on how to safely and appropriately do the job that they want to get done. You don’t leave anything out and it is exactly what I think RUclips “how to” install videos should be. Keep up the awesome work. Super appreciated and want to make sure you know it.
I love seeing videos from rust free zones of the US. My bottom shock is stuck on the diff housing. 😂
Good video man
Very informative. Makes it look like a relatively easy install. My only criticism is the sunlight flashing on the camera lens over and over. The lighting made it a little difficult to see what was going on.
Good video, thanks! One helpful hint. The old shocks you have to hold the center with open box wrench at the top as in the video to loosen. The 5100s you do not tighten this way, you need an allen wrench to hold the center as you tighten with wrench or it’ll just spin.
Thanks for the tip, however in looking at my 4R and the one in the video, I don't see any way to get an allen wrench in there. There is barely enough clearance to get an open-end box wrench in there, no way could I get an allen key in on top of that point. My 4R is a 2011, but the shock mount looks nearly identical to what this guy is showing. There is only a sliver of clearance to get a wrench in from the side.
So I would need 2 separate kits for the front and rear? They're going for $730 per kit as of Oct 2021
For the sake of injury, read the manual to your floor jack. They are not designed for long term sustained weight. Lift, place stands, remove jack. Throw a wheel under the vehicle if you want for security
Derek D I use the jack and then drop onto 2 stands and leave the jack in place with slight pressure for extra security.
Good advice
How did you right the top bolt? Or how did you torque the top bolt??
I have a one inch block and an add a leaf installed in the rear and was suggested to install 5100s which I bought. Do I need to remove anything to make it stay level with the front or will it just sit right because it’s already technically lifted a couple inches? The point of the install was to have a shock that doesn’t bottom out and make for a smoother ride. Thanks.
@DrivenCompanion How much did it lift just by using Bilstein B8 rear shock absorbers?
Did it settle down a bit after few days of driving?
I just had a shop install the rear 5100 on our 2011 runner but I’m hearing a clapping noise in the passenger rear now. Any idea what the issue could be? Bushing backwards?
My shocks don't look like the one you have on but when I try to unscrew the top bolt with locking pliers below it, it just Spins. Do you have any tips,
My 5th Gen Bilstein 5100 show the washer cups face the other direction. There's also another washer that goes between the bottom bushing and frame. Also, the new top nut is an 18 mm. Maybe they changed things? Thanks for the video.
Hi how are you, are those front and rear good for my 2016 Toyota Highlander xle . Thanks
What setting did you put on the benstien on in this video? I don't want to change the coils
When you say tighten up to spec, it's helpful to mention what spec is
Top is 30 ft pds and bottom is 72 ft pds.
Till it tight as shit has always worked for me
I quote Timmy The Toolman: “Make it Gudentight”!
You can also get the factory service manual on 4Runner.org. Specs are in there.
Specs are also listed in the video description
Did it end up at stock height in the rear or did it go up at all
Can I leave the stock rear and just install the front Bilsteins ? Is the ride the same ? I just want that front lift.
What's the clip setting you have on the front. On this vehicle. To keep rear as stock. My front is lower.
Thanks for the vid. Got these installed on my Gx with the help of your video. I know the top bolt on the shock is supposed to be 30 ft lb, but it’s hard to estimate since a torque wrench socket won’t fit in that tight space. About how much did you compress the bushing and how many threads are showing? I compressed the bushings a lot and there’s about 5/6 threads showing, do you think I torqued them too tight?
5-6 sounds about right to me.
Mike C okay cool, reviewing your video I definitely tightened them a little bit more than you, but when I went to loosen them up a bit they just seemed to loosen too easily so I just left them. Thanks again for the vid
does this lift the back at all? or does it keep it at regular height as the factory shocks? Thanks in advance.
Stays the same unless you get a rear spacer. The spacer will provide the lift as long as you have a different shock to provide for the added travel.
How would this impact KDSS-2019 4R Offroad Premium with KDSS. I am concerned about the difficulty with KDSS front and rear, and also impacting how KDSS would work with these shocks/struts? Please advise. Thanks.
Sorry my only experience is with the non-KDSS. Hopefully you can find some other resources that deal with that. Wish I was more help.
I planning on getting bilstein 5100s for both the front and rear. i plan i setting the front to 1.75”. should i add a 1 inch spacer in the rear to level it?
A one inch spacer should work on the back and would be cheaper than a new coil id imagine.
excuse me in this video your 4runner is 1” front & 2” rear?
Hey man would i be able to put these 5100s on my stock height 1995 pickup?
Go to Bilsteinlifts.com and enter your vehicle type and you can see what setups are compatible
I have KDSS, can someone help direct how to allow enough play to insert larger springs please? thank you.
What is KDSS
We’re you able to get a torque wrench on the top nut?
I wasn't...
Can you do this with one floor jack and then use the two jack stands on one side?
Josh McFarland use the jack that came with your 4runner and lift the axle. Use that other floor jack to compress the shock and slide onto the lower post. Take care not to bind up the boot.
Just to be clear, replacing the rear with the 5100s and retaining the stock springs, leaves it at stock rear height?
That is correct
Hows the ride compared to stock ? Stiffer or smoother ? If Stiffer is it harsh or stiff in a good way ?
Stiffer but in a good way... corners better, doesn't dive as much and not too harsh either.
@@DrivenCompanion thank you
Hi, did you add spacer at the rear? Is it leveled? Im planning to do this set-up. When you do alignment did you did you buy anything like like camber bolt? Sorry i had no idea, thanks
I only lifted the front .85" to level it so nothing was needed in the rear. I paid for the alignment to be done as well.
So did you put the back Bilstein shocks on
I did a front and rear lift and just used a sharpie to mark all camber settings. Based on the comments after my alignment I had it back lined up solid. Getting the $70 alignment was for peace of mind.
I had to cut out part of the Wheel well to get that top bolt, Pain in the ass! Anyone else have to do this?
Ram rmrz I can see cutting some but I did this just using a Wrench for the top....slooooow! A ratchet wrench sped things up for one side.
Where's the tire/wheel package video?
So you only put the shock on the rear. You didn’t put the spacer on the spring
Correct. I leveled the front and left the rear at stock height.
Does this give lift for the rear?
impossible if your frame is rusty
I will never run bilstein shocks agin again 2 sets and both leaked.
I switched over to old man emu
The shocks installed up side down.
