B8 5100 Monotube Adjustable Front Shock Absorber

The Bilstein B8 5100 Monotube Adjustable Shock Absorber (part number 24-187053) is engineered to provide a significant upgrade for both on and off-road driving. Its adjustable height collar allows for vehicle leveling using factory coil springs, offering a 0-2 inch lift for compatible Nissan Frontier, Xterra, and Suzuki Equator models. The shock absorber utilizes a monotube design with a 46mm digressive piston, which improves road handling by reducing body roll and nose dive, while also providing better off-road capability. Its high-pressure nitrogen gas charge ensures consistent performance even in demanding conditions. Constructed for durability, this shock absorber features a zinc-plated finish to resist corrosion and rust, making it suitable for harsh environments, wet climates, and salty roads. The package includes factory hardware for installation, such as necessary washers and bushings, with factory shock mounting bolts being reused. The extended length is 15.26 inches and the compressed length is 10.55 inches, with a travel of 4.71 inches. Bilstein offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on this product, covering defects in material and workmanship for the original purchaser. The 5100 series is recommended for vehicles with larger wheels and tires, or those that are lifted, as it is designed to handle increased loads, towing, and off-road terrain. For factory-spec vehicles, Bilstein recommends the 4600 series shocks as their valving is more appropriate for daily driving and pavement environments.
