{"product_id":"b8-5100-monotube-gas-shock-absorber-6","title":"B8 5100 Monotube Gas Shock Absorber","description":"The Bilstein B8 5100 series shock absorber is engineered with a monotube design and a 46mm digressive piston to enhance road handling characteristics for both on- and off-road driving. This design allows for efficient heat transfer from the shock oil to the shock body, dissipating heat to prevent shock fade under demanding conditions. Combining German engineering with US manufacturing, these shocks are built for performance and longevity, with user feedback suggesting service life upwards of 100,000 miles.\n\nThis series is designed to be more compliant over rough terrain and off-road obstacles compared to the Bilstein 4600 series. The B8 5100 is ideal for vehicles with larger tires, lifted suspensions, or those that experience increased heavy-duty loads, towing, and off-road terrain. It effectively reduces body roll and nose dive while providing a more comfortable ride over bumps and holes, making it suitable for daily driven vehicles that also see off-road use.\n\nThe shock absorber features a durable zinc-plated finish for corrosion and rust resistance in harsh environments. It includes necessary washers, bushings, reservoir clamps, and nuts for installation, utilizing factory shock mounting bolts. Note that mounting plates are sold separately. For factory-spec vehicles, the Bilstein 4600 series is recommended due to its more appropriate valving for daily driving and pavement environments.","brand":"Bilstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52687101952312,"sku":"24-186872 \/ 24-146715","price":246.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662152959.webp?v=1784880366","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/b8-5100-monotube-gas-shock-absorber-6","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
