Product Details
Bilstein’s B8 5100 (Ride Height Adjustable) line is focused on front suspension leveling and ride-height tuning for light trucks. This shock absorber uses a snap-ring grooved body to set the spring seat at different positions, allowing the front of a Ford Bronco to be raised without changing the OE coilover-style suspension layout. The monotube construction, 46mm piston, and digressive valving are engineered to improve control, increase usable wheel travel, and maintain predictable handling on-road and off-road. Part number 24-313971 is a direct fit for the listed Bronco front applications.
What It Helps Address
- Front-end rake on Bronco models with OE springs
- Reduced suspension travel from worn or undersized shocks
- Loose or inconsistent front-end handling over bumps
- Need for a leveled stance without a full suspension overhaul
- Ride control concerns on light truck and SUV use
Installation Notes and Tips
Reuse the OEM spring seat as specified. This shock is designed for front OE coilover-style suspension layouts and uses a stem upper mount with a crossbar lower mount. Verify the vehicle’s current suspension configuration and lift target before installation, especially on 2023-2026 Ford Bronco models with or without the Sasquatch Package. Confirm fitment by part number 24-313971 before ordering.
Quality Assurance
Bilstein B8 5100 shocks use a monotube design and zinc-plated finish for durable service in demanding suspension applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
