Construction & Design

The Bilstein B8 5112 kit is built with high-grade materials engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. The shock absorbers utilize a smooth 46mm monotube design, which provides consistent damping performance and superior heat dissipation compared to traditional twin-tube shocks. Zinc plating on the dampers protects against corrosion, extending service life in harsh environments.

The coil springs are precision-matched to the shocks, ensuring optimal suspension geometry and ride height. Their black finish not only offers a sleek appearance but also adds a layer of protection against wear and environmental damage. This combination of components delivers a robust and reliable suspension upgrade tailored for the Ram 3500’s demanding applications.
