Product Details

Bilstein Part Number 24-317474 is part of the B8 5100 (Ride Height Adjustable) line, a product family focused on ride-height tuning and suspension control for OE-style coilover setups. This shock uses a monotube construction and a 46mm piston to maintain consistent response under changing road conditions. On the 2021-2026 Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and GMC Yukon XL, it is listed for rear position applications, with the Yukon and Yukon XL notes specifying up to 1.8 inches of rear lift.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Bilstein 24-317474 is a direct-fit suspension shock absorber for drivers looking to correct stance, improve rear control, and maintain OE-style ride behavior.

What It Helps Address

• Rear sag after suspension changes or added load
• Uneven vehicle stance on Tahoe, Yukon, or Yukon XL applications
• Reduced wheel travel from worn rear shocks
• Loose or inconsistent rear-end handling over bumps
• Loss of control during braking, cornering, or towing-related weight transfer

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2021-2026 Chevrolet Tahoe, rear; 2021-2026 GMC Yukon, rear; and 2021-2026 GMC Yukon XL, rear. Tahoe fitment is listed without Magnetic Ride Control or Air Suspension. Verify suspension configuration, mount style, and installed ride height before ordering. Because this is a ride-height-adjustable shock, spring seat position should be set according to the vehicle’s intended stance and application requirements.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein manufactures the B8 5100 series with a monotube design, zinc-plated finish, and application-specific fitment for late-model SUVs. Part Number 24-317474 is engineered for controlled rear suspension performance and consistent ride-height adjustment within the listed vehicle applications.
