How much front lift can I expect with these shocks?

The Bilstein B8 5100 shocks feature an adjustable spring seat with multiple grooves. Depending on the application and which groove you select, you can achieve between 0 and 2.75 inches of front lift on your F-150.

Do these shocks come with new coil springs?

No, these shocks are designed to work with your F-150's factory front coil springs. You will reuse your existing springs when installing these adjustable shocks.

What is the main benefit of a monotube shock absorber?

Monotube shock absorbers, like these Bilstein B8 5100s, use a larger 46mm piston and a gas-charged design. This helps them maintain consistent damping performance and resist fade, especially under demanding conditions, compared to traditional twin-tube shocks.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to level out the stance of your 2015-2020 Ford F-150 XL or XLT with the 3.5L V6, these Bilstein B8 5100 series front shock absorbers are a solid option. They replace your factory front shocks and offer a practical way to adjust the front ride height, giving you a more even look without the need for separate coil spring spacers.

These are monotube shocks, which means they use a 46mm digressive piston. This design helps maintain consistent performance and resist fade, even when you're putting them to work. The key feature here is the adjustable spring seat, which has multiple grooves. You can set the spring seat to one of these positions to achieve between 0 and 2.75 inches of front lift, depending on your specific F-150 setup. This allows you to level the truck's profile while benefiting from Bilstein's well-known damping technology.

When installing these, you'll be working with your existing front coil springs. Make sure to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for the correct procedure when adjusting the spring seat and reassembling the strut assembly.
