Bilstein 5100 Series 1983 Ford F-150 Base 4WD Rear 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

This is the Bilstein B8 5100 Series rear shock absorber, part number 24-065276. It's built to be a direct fit for a wide range of trucks and SUVs, including popular models like the Ford F-150, F-250, and Ranger from the 1980s through the mid-1990s. If you're looking to improve your vehicle's handling and ride quality, especially if it's lifted, this shock absorber is designed to make a noticeable difference.

What sets this shock apart is its 46mm monotube construction. This design helps prevent the fluid from foaming and losing its damping ability, even under hard use, which means you get consistent performance whether you're on the highway or tackling rougher terrain. It also features a unique, velocity-sensitive digressive piston that adjusts its damping force automatically as road conditions change, providing a more controlled and comfortable ride. Bilstein tunes each shock absorber specifically for its intended application, ensuring it works optimally with your vehicle's suspension.

This shock absorber is made in the USA and offers a significant improvement in ride quality and handling compared to stock components. It's a solid option for anyone looking to upgrade their truck or SUV's suspension for better on-road comfort and off-road capability.
