Product Description
The BILSTEIN 24-065283 5100 Series Shock Absorber is specifically engineered for lifted 1994-2016 Ford F250 and F350 2WD trucks running a 2-4 inch suspension lift. Built for diesel trucks that demand performance both on and off-road, this shock delivers superior control, durability, and ride quality.
Utilizing Bilstein’s monotube gas pressure design, the 5100 Series provides consistent, fade-free performance under heavy loads and harsh driving conditions.
