Bilstein 24-286244 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

Bilstein B8 5100 Rear Shock

The Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorber is a direct-fit suspension upgrade for lifted trucks and SUVs. Built with a monotube internal design and tuned for specific applications, it delivers consistent damping and controlled ride quality under changing road conditions.

Key Features

• Monotube construction for consistent, fade-resistant performance
• Velocity-sensitive digressive piston reacts to changing road inputs
• Non-adjustable damping for straightforward setup
• Zinc-plated finish for added corrosion resistance
• Black bellows boot included for added shaft protection
• Direct-fit design for lifted applications

Detailed Description

This Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorber, part number 24-286244, is engineered for rear suspension use on lifted Toyota Tundra applications with a 2-inch rear lift. The smooth-body monotube design helps maintain stable performance, while the digressive piston is tuned to respond quickly to road changes for improved handling and comfort. If you are replacing a worn rear shock on a Toyota Tundra, part number 24-286244 provides an OE-style fit for the specified lifted application.

The B8 5100 line is built around application-specific tuning, which helps match damping characteristics to the vehicle setup rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. This makes it a practical choice for drivers who want more controlled suspension response without adding adjustability. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 24286244) for the same application.

Common Issues It Can Address

• Excessive bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced control from a worn rear shock absorber
• Harsh or inconsistent ride quality on a lifted suspension
• Handling instability during load changes or rough pavement
• Corrosion-related wear on the shock body

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra, rear, for vehicles with a 2-inch rear lift. Verify lift height, mounting style, and suspension configuration before installation. The upper stem and lower eye mount types must match the vehicle’s existing hardware and bracket layout. Professional installation is recommended when replacing suspension components on a lifted Toyota Tundra.
