Description
The Bilstein B8 5100 24-187213 suspension shock absorber is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for lifted light trucks and SUVs. Designed to improve ride quality, handling, and comfort, this shock absorber delivers dependable control across changing road and trail conditions. It is compatible with select 2004–2013 Dodge Ram and Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 1500 applications; verify vehicle fitment before installation.
Bilstein’s patented velocity-sensitive digressive piston responds immediately to changing surface conditions, helping maintain consistent tire contact and predictable handling. The monotube internal design provides efficient heat dissipation and fade-resistant performance, while application-specific tuning delivers a balanced combination of control and comfort. Non-adjustable damping keeps the unit ready for straightforward installation without additional setup.
This Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorber features a zinc-plated finish, smooth-body construction, a 46 mm piston, and a 14 mm shaft. The upper stem mount and lower eye mount provide secure attachment, while the included black bellows boot helps protect the shaft from road debris. No reservoir or spring seat is included, making this unit suitable for applications requiring a direct-fit shock absorber rather than a coilover assembly.
