Overview

The Bilstein B8 5100 Rear Shock absorbers are engineered specifically for lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010, accommodating rear lifts ranging from 0 to 1.5 inches. Designed as a direct replacement, these shocks provide a seamless fit without the need for additional modifications. Excluding SRT8 models, the B8 5100 shocks deliver enhanced ride quality, improved handling, and superior comfort for both on- and off-road driving conditions.

Ideal for Jeep owners seeking to maintain or improve suspension performance after a mild lift, these shocks ensure consistent damping and control. Whether navigating rough terrain or cruising on pavement, the Bilstein B8 5100 offers reliable, fade-free performance tailored to the specific dynamics of the Grand Cherokee.

Key Features

The Bilstein B8 5100 Rear Shock absorbers incorporate advanced technology and design elements that set them apart from standard OEM shocks:

• Monotube design for consistent, fade-free damping performance under all conditions
• Velocity-sensitive, digressive piston that adapts to changing road surfaces for optimal control
• Application-specific tuning to match the suspension characteristics of lifted Jeep Grand Cherokees
• Direct bolt-on fitment requiring no special tools or modifications
• Durable construction designed to withstand harsh off-road environments
• Improved ride comfort by reducing harshness and vibration
• Enhanced handling stability during cornering and braking
• Limited lifetime warranty for long-term peace of mind

Construction & Design

Bilstein’s B8 5100 shocks feature a robust monotube design, which allows for better heat dissipation and consistent damping performance compared to twin-tube shocks. The monotube construction uses a high-strength steel body and a nitrogen gas charge to prevent cavitation and maintain smooth operation over extended use.

The velocity-sensitive digressive piston inside the shock is engineered to respond dynamically to different driving conditions, providing firm control during aggressive maneuvers while remaining compliant over rough terrain. This precision engineering ensures that the shocks maintain optimal damping force without sacrificing ride comfort.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Bilstein B8 5100 Rear Shocks is straightforward due to their direct-fit design for 2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee models with a rear lift of up to 1.5 inches. No additional modifications or special tools are required, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts and mechanics alike. It is important to note that these shocks are not compatible with SRT8 models.

For best results, it is recommended to replace both rear shocks simultaneously to maintain balanced suspension performance and handling characteristics.
