Direct-fit front shock for lifted Ford Bronco and F-Series trucks. 46mm monotube nitrogen gas design. Fits 2–6" front lift with stock OEM mounting. Made in the USA with a limited lifetime warranty.
The Bilstein 24-065283 B6 5100 Series Shock Absorber is a direct-fit front upgrade engineered specifically for lifted Ford Bronco and F-Series trucks running 2–6" of front lift with stock OEM radius arm mounting. Whether you're towing heavy loads, navigating off-road terrain, or simply want a sharper, more controlled ride on the highway, the 5100 series delivers measurable improvements in ride quality, handling, traction, and comfort over factory shocks.
Bilstein's 46mm monotube design keeps the damping fluid and nitrogen gas separated by a floating piston — eliminating heat fade and ensuring consistent, fade-free performance no matter the conditions. The patented digressive piston reacts instantly to changing road surfaces, while the larger working piston area delivers precise damping that improves suspension carrying capacity for towing and heavy loads. Made in the USA and backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty.
OEM-spec mounting hardware — stem upper, eyelet lower — for straightforward installation on stock-configuration lifted trucks
46mm monotube with nitrogen gas charge provides fade-free, consistent damping on-road and off-road at all times
Velocity-sensitive deflective disc valving instantly reacts to changing road conditions for maximum comfort and control
Designed, tested, and manufactured in the USA. Backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty for the original purchaser
Lift Height: This shock is designed for vehicles with 2–6" of front lift using stock OEM radius arm mounting. It is not intended for stock-height vehicles (see Bilstein 4600 series for stock height) or applications requiring custom mounting. Verify Your Configuration: Fitment is application-specific. Due to the wide variety of aftermarket suspension systems, Bilstein recommends measuring your actual shock travel before ordering. A stem-to-eye shock is measured from the base of the stem (where mounting hardware rests) to the center of the eyelet. Sold Individually: One shock absorber per package. Two are required for a complete front axle replacement. Always verify your specific year, model, drivetrain (2WD/4WD), and lift configuration before purchasing. Trim packages and factory build options can affect fitment.
