Show original supplier description
The Bilstein B8 5100 Series shock absorber is engineered for enhanced handling and performance, suitable for stock or lifted vehicles with an adjustable range of 0.00-1.50 inches. Its robust monotube construction, filled with gas for optimal efficiency and longevity, ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions. The shock boasts a large 46mm Bilstein digressive piston and patented digressive valving that instantaneously adapts to changing road surfaces, providing maximum comfort and control both on and off-road. This shock absorber utilizes split compression and rebound valving specifically tuned for each application, ensuring precise dampening characteristics. Key construction features include a 2-inch seamless extruded tube, a 14mm centerless-ground, case-hardened, chromed, and super-polished rod, and a self-adjusting, deflective-disc independent rebound and compression system. The upper mount is a stud type and the lower mount is a clevis, with a black boot included for protection. Some sources indicate P/N 24-253161 was part of kits engineered for 2011-2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD and 3500HD 4x4 trucks, and also for 2020-2025 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD models. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle year, make, and model through the "Make Sure It Fits" tool or by consulting an expert, as additional ride height information may be available for your vehicle.
