This eye-to-eye, non-adjustable monotube shock uses a 46mm piston and self-adjusting deflective disc valving to deliver controlled damping for front suspension setups on select Ford heavy-duty trucks and SUVs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible with 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty front, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty front, and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion front when used with a double shock kit, part number 33-104645 is a practical choice for builders working on custom ride-height or suspension geometry requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilstein B8 5125 series shock absorber for custom applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEye-to-eye mount configuration with 5\/8 inch upper and lower eye bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e46mm monotube body with smooth-body, non-coilover design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-adjustable damping with self-adjusting deflective disc valving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapsed length: 15.91 in. \/ Extended length: 25.93 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish with black bellows boot included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront-position application for select Ford Super Duty and Excursion setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bilstein B8 5125 line is aimed at suspension builders who need a shock absorber in a specific length and valving range rather than a direct OE replacement. Part number 33-104645 features Bilstein’s high gas pressure monotube construction, a 46mm piston, and consistent damping response for custom front-end installations. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse this shock on 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty front, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty front, and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion front with a double shock kit. The B8 5125 product line is commonly selected when the suspension setup requires specific eye-to-eye dimensions and controlled rebound\/compression characteristics rather than a standard OE-style fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Shock Absorber Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront suspension control on lifted or custom-built Ford truck and SUV setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive bounce after bumps or dips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnstable ride quality from mismatched shock length or valving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed for an eye-to-eye shock in a specific collapsed and extended length range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuspension tuning for double shock front applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, front, use with double shock kit; B8 5125.
