Overview

The Bilstein B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable shock absorber is built for trucks and SUVs with a front OE coilover-style suspension.

Part number 24-336970 is a direct fit for select Ford F-150 applications.

Key Features

• Ride height adjustable design with multiple spring seat positions
• Monotube construction for consistent damping response

Detailed Description

Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorbers are engineered for front coilover-style suspension setups that need controlled lift and improved handling. The snap-ring grooved body allows the spring seat to be positioned for 0-3 inches of front lift, depending on application, while the monotube design and 46mm piston help maintain stable performance through changing road conditions. On compatible Ford F-150 models, part number 24-336970 provides a fitment-focused solution for leveling and suspension correction without changing the OE spring setup.

The B8 5100 product line is Bilstein’s ride height adjustable shock series for light truck applications. It is aimed at drivers who want a suspension component that can be set up for front lift while preserving the factory-style coilover layout. This makes the Bilstein B8 5100 a relevant choice for Ford F-150 owners looking for a front shock absorber with adjustable spring seat positioning.

Common Uses

• Correcting a nose-down stance on a truck or SUV
• Replacing a worn front shock absorber with a coilover-style unit
• Improving wheel travel and handling response
• Setting front ride height with OE springs
• Addressing suspension sag or uneven front ride height
