Bilstein B8 5100 Series Shock Absorber – 24-065283

Upgrade the ride and control of your lifted Ford Super Duty or classic truck with the Bilstein B8 5100 Series shock absorber (part #24-065283). Built specifically for lifted applications, this monotube shock delivers consistent, fade-free performance on the street, while towing, or off-road.

Why Choose the Bilstein 5100 Series

Bilstein’s B8 5100 shocks use a large 46mm digressive piston with velocity-sensitive valving that instantly reacts to changing road conditions. The result is improved ride quality, better handling, and greater control compared to stock or basic aftermarket shocks—especially on trucks running larger tires and suspension lifts.

The monotube design runs cooler and more efficiently than traditional twin-tube shocks, reducing fade during prolonged use. A durable zinc-plated finish with clear coating provides strong corrosion resistance, and a black bellows boot helps protect the shaft.
