Description
Upgrade the suspension performance of your light truck with the Bilstein B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable shock absorber, part number 24-317856. Designed for trucks and SUVs using a front original-equipment coilover-style suspension, this shock features multiple snap-ring grooves that allow the spring seat to be repositioned for up to 3 inches of front lift with original-equipment springs, depending on the application. It is an effective solution for leveling the front of your vehicle while improving handling and available wheel travel.
The Bilstein B8 5100 uses a 46mm monotube design with a digressive piston and self-adjusting deflective disc valve. This configuration provides consistent, fade-resistant damping in demanding driving conditions and helps maintain controlled suspension response on pavement, rough roads, and trails. The shock is non-adjustable for damping and does not include a remote reservoir or protective boot. Its zinc-plated finish provides a durable exterior suited to light-truck use.
This Bilstein shock absorber includes a spring seat and uses an eye-style lower mount with a stem-style upper mount. It is engineered for select Ford F-150 applications from 2009 through 2013, including 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 models. Confirm vehicle configuration and suspension fitment before installation. Professional installation is recommended, and suspension components should be inspected for wear before replacement.
