B8 5100 Adjustable Monotube Shock Absorber

The Bilstein B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable Strut is engineered for Dodge and Ram 1500 trucks, offering enthusiasts a way to level or lift their suspension up to 3 inches without relying on spacers or traditional lift kits. This all-in-one solution provides a top-tier Bilstein 5100 performance strut, improving both handling and aesthetics. Featuring Bilstein's renowned monotube gas-pressure design, these struts ensure consistent performance and heat dissipation, crucial for demanding driving conditions. The adjustable spring perch allows for manual adjustment of the vehicle's ride height, offering flexibility to match desired stance or driving needs. This design also eliminates the need for external lift components, preserving the OEM spring technology. Benefits extend beyond just height adjustment. The Bilstein B8 5100 enhances off-road capability with increased ground clearance, supports larger tires, and significantly improves handling by reducing body roll and nose dive. While designed for daily drivers who also engage in off-road activities, it's important to note that factory-spec vehicles may be better suited to the Bilstein 4600 series for pavement-focused performance. Specifications for part number 24-317887 include a 46mm body diameter, monotube internal design, zinc-plated finish, and stem upper mount with a clevis lower mount. The collapsed length is 15.12 inches (384.0mm), and the extended length is 21.46 inches (545.2mm). This product is specifically designed for the front of 4WD Dodge and Ram 1500 models from 2009-2018 and 1500 Classic models from 2019-2024, providing a front lift of 0-2.8 inches. It is noted that some models, like the Big Horn and others from 2013-2018, and Classic trims from 2019-2022, may require specific fitment without air suspension.
