Construction & Design

The Bilstein B8 5100 shocks feature a robust monotube construction that enhances durability and performance under demanding conditions. The monotube design allows for better heat management, reducing shock fade during extended use. The internal digressive piston is velocity sensitive, providing a smooth ride at low speeds while firming up during aggressive driving or off-road impacts.

Finished with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating, these shocks are built to withstand harsh environments and maintain their performance over time. The smooth body design ensures compatibility with factory mounting points and aftermarket lift kits without requiring additional modifications.

Installation & Fitment

Designed as a direct replacement for the front shocks on lifted Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 4WD trucks, the Bilstein B8 5100 requires no special tools or custom fabrication. Installation is straightforward, fitting vehicles equipped with 4 to 6-inch front lifts. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to replace both front shocks as a pair.
