Description
Upgrade the ride, handling, and control of your lifted truck with the Bilstein B8 5100 suspension shock absorber, part number 24-185523. Designed as a direct-fit replacement for select Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty applications, this Bilstein shock is engineered specifically for light-truck use. Its zinc-plated finish provides a durable exterior, while the included blue straight boot helps protect the shaft from road debris and contamination. This application fits select 2012–2016 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks.
The B8 5100 uses a monotube internal design with a smooth, non-coilover body and a large piston for consistent damping performance. Bilstein’s patented velocity-sensitive, digressive valving responds quickly to changing road and terrain conditions, helping maintain tire contact and vehicle control over uneven surfaces. The non-adjustable damping is specifically tuned for the intended application, delivering balanced performance without requiring manual setup or adjustment.
This Bilstein 24-185523 shock absorber features a stem upper mount and 16 mm eye lower mount for direct-fit installation on compatible vehicles. It is designed for lifted trucks and provides approximately 6.81 inches of suspension travel between its collapsed and extended positions. The durable monotube construction helps resist performance fade during demanding driving, towing, hauling, and off-road use. Verify vehicle configuration and lift specifications before ordering.
