What makes the monotube design beneficial?

The monotube design separates the oil and gas within the shock absorber. This helps prevent the oil from foaming and losing its damping ability, leading to more consistent performance and less fade, especially under heavy use.

Does this shock absorber come with any hardware?

This product listing is for the shock absorber itself. It's recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult with a technician to confirm if any specific mounting hardware is included or if it needs to be sourced separately.

How does the digressive piston improve the ride?

The digressive piston is designed to react quickly to changes in road surface. This allows the shock absorber to adjust its damping force almost instantly, providing a more controlled and comfortable ride over various terrains.

About this part

Product Details

Bilstein is known for making well-built suspension components, and their 5100 series shocks are a popular choice for trucks and SUVs that have been lifted. This rear shock absorber is designed as a direct fit for a range of Ford vehicles, including models like the 1980-1996 Ford Bronco, 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, and 1980-1996 Ford F-150.

It features a 46mm monotube design, which helps keep the shock from overheating and losing performance, especially during demanding use. The shock also uses a unique digressive piston that can quickly adjust to changing road conditions, giving you a more consistent feel. Each shock is tuned specifically for the vehicle application it's intended for, aiming to provide an improved ride quality and better handling compared to stock shocks.
