Bilstein B8 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber – 24-285704
6" Lift | Ram 2500 / Ram 3500 4WD
Give your lifted Ram the control, comfort, and durability it needs. The Bilstein B8 5100 (24-285704) is a direct-fit front shock engineered for 2014–2026 Ram 2500 and 2013–2026 Ram 3500 4WD trucks with a 6" front lift. Larger tires and extra ride height demand more from a shock—this one is built for it.
Bilstein’s 46mm monotube, nitrogen-charged design stays consistent when heat and load build up. Patented digressive valving reacts instantly to changing surfaces so the truck stays planted on the highway, in town, or on the trail. Each unit is application-tuned for this chassis and lift height.
Sold individually (two required for the front axle). Bolt-on install with OEM-style hardware. Limited lifetime warranty. Made in the USA.
Why the B8 5100
- 46mm monotube design for larger piston area, better heat dissipation, and fade-free damping
- Velocity-sensitive digressive piston that instantly adapts to road and trail conditions
- Vehicle-specific valving with independent compression and rebound tuned for this Ram application
- Zinc-plated body for corrosion resistance
- 14mm hardened, chromed, polished shaft for strength and smooth operation
- Black bellows boot included to protect the shaft
- Direct bolt-on install: stem upper mount / 14.1mm eye lower mount
- Limited lifetime warranty

Confirm year, drive type, and actual lift before ordering. Lift height is a manufacturer guideline. Aftermarket kits vary—measure collapsed and extended length if your setup is not a standard 6" kit. Measure a pin-to-eye shock from the base of the stem (where hardware sits) to the center of the lower eye.
