What makes the monotube design beneficial?

The 46mm monotube design helps the shock absorber maintain consistent performance by keeping the oil and gas separated. This prevents the shock from overheating and losing effectiveness, especially during demanding use.

Does this shock absorber come with mounting hardware?

This shock absorber comes equipped with industry standard 5/8 inch hourglass bushings for mounting. Please refer to your vehicle's original hardware or consult a professional if replacement hardware is needed.

Is this shock absorber suitable for custom suspension builds?

While this shock is tuned for specific vehicles, Bilstein's B8 5125 series is known for its versatility in custom applications. The 46mm piston and digressive valving make it a solid choice for builders looking for consistent performance.

Product Details

When you're working on your Jeep CJ5 from 1959 to 1983, getting the right shock absorber makes a big difference in how it handles. This Bilstein 5100 Series shock absorber is built with a 46mm monotube design, which helps keep things cool and consistent, even when you're putting it through its paces. It's designed to react quickly to changes in the road or trail, giving you more control.

Bilstein puts a lot of thought into how these shocks perform.

This isn't just a generic shock; it's tuned specifically for vehicles like your CJ5 to ensure it works well with your suspension setup. They're made in the USA and come with standard 5/8 inch bushings, ready to be installed.
