Bilstein B8 5100 - Suspension Shock Absorber (Chevy/GMC)
Engineered for lifted trucks and SUVs, the Bilstein B8 5100 delivers fade-free performance, improved handling, and lasting ride quality.
The Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorber is a direct-fit solution for Chevy and GMC trucks and SUVs running a lift. Built with Bilstein’s proven monotube design and a 46mm digressive piston, this shock reacts quickly to changing road conditions for consistent damping and control. Zinc-plated for durability and equipped with a protective black bellows boot, the B8 5100 improves ride comfort, handling, and stability on and off the road. Tuned specifically for each application, it’s the go-to upgrade for lifted rigs needing more than stock suspension can provide.
