Product Details and Specifications

This Bilstein shock absorber features a monotube internal design that allows for better heat dissipation and consistent damping performance. The 46mm smooth body diameter ensures compatibility with the Toyota Tundra's suspension system without the need for coilover conversion. The black bellows boot protects the piston rod from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the shock. With a zinc plated finish, the shock absorber resists corrosion, making it suitable for off-road and all-weather use. The lower mount uses a 12mm eye, while the upper mount is a stem type, matching factory mounting points for straightforward installation.

Common Suspension Issues Addressed

• Reduced vehicle stability and control due to worn shocks
• Excessive body roll during cornering
• Uneven tire wear caused by poor damping
• Decreased ride comfort on rough or uneven terrain
