honestly never seen one in person but from what i understand
theyre a 5100 monotube with a reservoir on em, OEM mountable (stem), and i believe i read somewhere theyre rebuildable.
im actually not sure where their market is as opposed to the 7100, but maybe that has to do with the stem mount/OEM applicable nature of em...and the fact the res has a nice swivel mount on it stock for the hose- Will

it looks like it has a seperate dust cap (different color) which would lead me to believe they are able to be taken apart for rebuilding.
also looks like the reservoir has a recessed end, which would prob mean a lock ring...but on the other hand i dont see a schrader valve for charging it...hmmm- Will

those 5160s are way too new to find a good test i bet. I havent heard of anyone running them either. im sure they are good but i dont think they are rebuildable
97 TJ that I think is pretty neat.
