Construction & Design

The Bilstein B8 5100 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that enhances heat dissipation and shock response. This design reduces fade during extended use, maintaining consistent damping performance even in demanding conditions. The smooth body shock tube is precision-engineered from high-grade materials to withstand the rigors of lifted suspension systems and off-road driving.

Inside, the velocity-sensitive digressive piston dynamically adjusts damping force, providing a firm yet comfortable ride by reacting instantly to changes in terrain and driving inputs. The shocks are finished with a corrosion-resistant silver paint to protect against environmental elements and extend service life.
