Part #: 24-185950

Overview

The Bilstein B8 5100 Shock Absorbers are high-performance suspension components designed specifically for lifted trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Suburban 1500 from 2000 to 2006. These shocks are engineered to provide a smooth, controlled ride while supporting the increased height and weight of lifted vehicles. Built with a monotube design, they deliver consistent, fade-free performance under demanding driving conditions. The B8 5100 series features a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston that reacts dynamically to road surface changes, ensuring optimal handling, stability, and comfort across a variety of terrains and driving scenarios. Whether you're off-roading or on the highway, these shocks help maintain precise control and ride quality, making them an excellent upgrade for lifted vehicles seeking improved performance and durability.
