Construction & Design
The Bilstein B8 5100 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that utilizes a single high-pressure nitrogen gas-filled tube. This design minimizes foaming and shock fade, ensuring consistent damping performance even during demanding off-road use or extended highway driving. The velocity-sensitive digressive piston adjusts damping force dynamically based on suspension movement speed, striking a balance between ride comfort and precise handling.
Manufactured with premium materials and precision engineering, these shocks are built to endure the stresses associated with lifted suspension setups and rugged terrain. The corrosion-resistant finish further enhances durability by protecting the shocks from rust and environmental damage, making them a reliable choice for Jeep Wrangler TJ owners who push their vehicles hard.

Installation of the Bilstein B8 5100 Front Shock Absorbers is straightforward and designed as a direct replacement for the front shocks on 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models equipped with a 3.5 to 4-inch front lift and short arm lift kits. No additional modifications or special tools are typically required, allowing for a convenient upgrade by enthusiasts and professional mechanics alike.
For optimal suspension balance and vehicle stability, it is recommended to replace shocks in pairs. This ensures consistent performance and handling characteristics across both front suspension sides.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
