Upgrade the suspension performance of your lifted truck or SUV with the Bilstein B8 5100 suspension shock absorber, part number 24-185530. Engineered as a direct-fit replacement for select applications, this shock absorber is tuned specifically to help improve ride quality, handling, control, and comfort. It fits the 1997 Ford F-250 HD and 1980–1988 Ford Bronco when matched to the correct vehicle configuration.
The Bilstein B8 5100 uses a monotube design for consistent, fade-resistant performance under demanding driving conditions. Its patented digressive, velocity-sensitive piston responds immediately to changing road surfaces, helping maintain tire contact and controlled suspension movement on pavement, gravel, trails, and uneven terrain. The application-specific valving provides a balanced combination of responsive handling and everyday ride comfort.
This non-adjustable shock absorber features a smooth zinc-plated body, black bellows boot, and eye-style mounting points at both ends. The upper and lower mounts use 16 mm eyes, while the 14 mm shaft and 46 mm piston support durable operation. The shock provides 10.02 inches of suspension travel between its 16.14-inch collapsed length and 26.16-inch extended length. It does not include a reservoir, coilover body, or spring seat. Professional installation and verification of vehicle fitment are recommended before ordering. California Proposition 65 Warning: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
