Bilstein 5100 Shocks Set w/3-4" lift - 1979-1986 GMC K1500 Suburban 4WD

The Bilstein 5100 shocks set is a high-performance suspension upgrade designed for 1979-1986 GMC K1500 Suburban 4WD vehicles with a 3-4 inch lift. Featuring a monotube design with a 46mm digressive piston, these shocks enhance both on-road handling and off-road capability by reducing body roll and nose dive while providing a more compliant ride over bumps and rough terrain. Constructed with a durable zinc plating for corrosion and rust resistance, the shocks are extended length to accommodate lifted systems, supporting larger tires and increased load capacity. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, they ensure long-lasting performance and reliability in demanding environments, making them ideal for vehicles used for daily driving, towing, or off-road adventures.

Designed specifically for 4WD vehicles with a 3-4 inch lift, these shocks are a direct bolt-on replacement that reuse factory hardware, including washers, bushings, reservoir clamps, and nuts. The kit includes four shocks—two front and two rear—suitable for vehicles with larger wheels and tires or higher center of gravity. Installation requires reusing factory shock mounting bolts, with mounting plates sold separately. These shocks are optimized for off-road terrain and heavy-duty use, providing increased handling, stability, and durability for lifted trucks engaged in work or recreational off-road activities. They are not recommended for factory-spec vehicles, which should use Bilstein 4600 series shocks.
