Construction & Design

The Bilstein B8 5100 shocks feature a robust monotube design that separates the gas and oil chambers, preventing foaming and ensuring consistent damping performance. The monotube construction also allows for better heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during prolonged or aggressive driving. The velocity-sensitive digressive piston inside the shock adjusts damping force dynamically, providing a smooth ride over small bumps while firming up for larger impacts or rough terrain.

Each shock is precision-engineered and tuned specifically for the lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee’s rear suspension geometry, ensuring optimal performance and durability. High-quality materials and corrosion-resistant finishes extend the service life, even in harsh off-road environments.

No additional modifications or special tools are typically required, making it a convenient upgrade for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
