    Product Details

    B8 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber Set (VS-24-186735) by Bilstein®. Quantity: 2 per Pack. Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit solution for lifted trucks and SUV’s. These shock absorbers feature a monotube design which provides consistent fade free performance. B8 5100 shock absorbers utilize a unique, velocity sensitive, digressive piston which reacts to changing road conditions. All B8 5100 shock absorbers are tuned for each specific application to assure optimal performance is achieved. B8 5100 shock absorbers offer a significant improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort.

    Gas Pressure Technology. Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by Bilstein has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.

    Mono-tube Upside-Down Technology. The original and best: The original mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers bore the Bilstein name, and still responsible for producing the best there is. Bilstein’s mono-tube technology is the number-one choice in motorsports and series-production sports cars: no other type gives engineers the same freedom to choose the perfect installation location or position (e.g. Upside-Down technology).

    Road-Tested by Bilstein. To achieve that celebrated Bilstein driving experience, Bilstein engineers rely on not only technology that is truly at the cutting edge, but also something that has withstood the test of time: how it feels to the driver. As a result, all of high-performance absorbers, as well as sport suspensions and threaded ride height adjustable kits, undergo a rigorous testing programme. On the Nürburgring and in own test centre at the Papenburg test track, drivers test how balanced the driving characteristics of various vehicles are in a variety of different driving situations. Only when they have passed this programme of tests with distinction are they allowed to bear the Bilstein name. This way, they can guarantee that celebrated Bilstein driving experience.

    Not for Stock Ride Height
    Installed these on a stock ride height 1500 and they are very rough riding, at slow speeds large cracks in the pavement are killer and hit hard enough to rattle the dash, they get better at highway speed. Unless your truck is leveled or lifted go with the 4600 Bilstein.

    Bilstein 5100
    I installed these shocks on a 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500 with a leveling kit. They fit good even with the leveling kit. These shocks were easy to install. They look great. The ride on the truck is much smoother and everything seems to be tighter and quieter.

    Bilstein 5100 Front Shock
    The shocks themselves look great, I ordered 2 front along with 2 rear shocks. The performance since putting them on, especially since my originals I found were shot(at least the fronts) has been astounding although the truck to me rides better than it ever did and is surprisingly smooth. Installation was fairly smooth, although it was a bit of a pain compressing the shock to bring it up where it needed to be bolted in but that's to be expected of a working shock. It's not very complicated at all on a Chevy 2500 and most existing hardware save for the nut at the top(new one is supplied to fit shock threads) of the front shock is re-used. Awesome product; would and will order these again whether I hit another 50k-100k miles or buy a new truck.

    Front Shock 5100
    Arrived on time, easy enough to install. Ride feels better than the old stock electric controlled shocks.

    Awesome Shocks!!
    Finally broke down and ordered these and don’t regret it, made my truck ride so much smoother. Had them next day too and didn’t pay for express shipping.

    Bilstein Shocks on F250

    I drive around the Hampton Roads of Virginia aka pot hole roads, off roads and my tax dollars pay for this! Driving on I-64 is smooth! If you looking for quality and a great price I’d recommend the 5100 series. The back of the truck does not bounce up like a untamed horse! Don’t feel bad if your friends or others don’t notice the upgrade. They are probably jealous and drive a keyboard!

    Amazing
    Some of the best damn shocks I have bought. You can't go wrong with Bilstein 5100 series. Instantly felt the ride difference, it became smoother and improved control.
