Default Bilstein 5100 Steering Dampener
I see on Bilstein's website they now have a listing for a Bilstein 5100 steering dampener for the JK.

Anyone have any info on this or have any pics of it?

Have you tested it?

Most of the time it does its job silently, but IMO you can definitely tell the difference between some units if you put your JK through its paces.

Those pics are not mine. Mine is on order so I will report back when I get it.

Looks nice, and like the one I put on my truck. Wish it was an option when I replaced the nasty leaking stock one.

Is it neutrally valved?

Keep us posted, not that I expect to be replacing mine any time soon and went the inexpensive route with the Teraflex.

Got it installed today. I like it a lot. Road feel is much better than with my Rough Country Stabilizer.
