Show original supplier description
The Bilstein B8 5100 series adjustable height struts are engineered to level your vehicle using its factory coil springs while simultaneously upgrading on- and off-road handling. Featuring a monotube design and a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge, these shocks offer superior performance in demanding conditions. The self-adjusting digressive piston enhances road handling by reducing body roll and nose dive, providing a more stable and controlled driving experience. Constructed with a durable zinc-plated finish, the B8 5100 series ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and rust, making it suitable for harsh environments, wet climates, or areas with salty roads. The shock's specifications include an extended length of 15.26 inches, a compressed length of 10.55 inches, and 4.71 inches of travel, with a STEM top mount and EYELET bottom mount. Installation is facilitated by factory hardware, including all necessary washers, bushings, and nuts, with factory shock mounting bolts being reused. This Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorber is compatible with various Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, and Suzuki Equator models from the mid-2000s to early 2020s, offering a lift or lowering capability of 0-2 inches. It is sold individually, with two shocks required per vehicle for proper application. All necessary washers, bushings, and nuts are included for installation, utilizing factory shock mounting bolts. Bilstein offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on these shock absorbers, protecting against defects in workmanship and materials for the original purchaser. It is important to note that warranty exclusions apply, including normal wear and tear, improper installation, racing or competition use, modified vehicles, or commercial applications. Surface finishes, boots, and mounting hardware like rubber bushings are also not covered.
