Bilstein 24-317832 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Overview

The Bilstein B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable shock absorber is built for trucks and SUVs with a front OE coilover-style suspension. It uses snap-ring grooves in the body to set spring seat height and deliver 0-3 inches of front lift with OE springs, depending on application. Part number 24-317832 is a direct-fit suspension upgrade for drivers looking to improve stance and control.

Key Features

• Monotube internal design for consistent damping response.
• 46mm digressive piston with self-adjusting deflective disc valve setting.
• Snap-ring grooved body for adjustable spring seat positions.
• Zinc-plated finish for added corrosion resistance.
• Non-adjustable damping with OE coilover-style fitment.
• Spring seat included for coilover suspension applications.

Fitment Details

Fits 2009-2013 Ford F-150, front. Fitment notes indicate 0-2.5 inches of front lift with the B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable design. Part number 24-317832 is listed for this Ford F-150 application.

What It Helps Address

• Front-end rake from factory ride height.
• Reduced control from worn or tired shock absorbers.
• Need for a leveled stance with OE springs.
• Loss of wheel travel and handling response.

Installation Notes

Verify OE coilover-style suspension before ordering. The snap-ring groove settings are used to select spring seat position, so the final lift height depends on the application and chosen setting. Confirm collapsed and extended length requirements against the vehicle suspension geometry. Part number 24-317832 should be matched to the listed fitment before installation.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B8 5100 shocks are part of a ride-height-adjustable line engineered for light truck use. The monotube construction, 46mm piston, and zinc-plated finish reflect the series focus on controlled damping and durable service.
