Product Description
The BILSTEIN 24-186025 5100 Series Shock Absorber is engineered to improve rear suspension control, ride quality, and handling on 1999-2016 Ford F250 and F350 4WD trucks. Designed for stock height to mild rear lift applications, this premium rear shock is a strong upgrade for Super Duty owners who tow, haul, daily drive, or demand better stability from their truck.
Built with Bilstein’s proven monotube gas pressure design, the 5100 Series delivers consistent, fade-free damping performance in demanding road and load conditions. Its large 46mm piston and velocity-sensitive digressive valving react quickly to changing terrain, helping reduce body motion while maintaining a controlled and comfortable ride.
The zinc-plated finish helps protect against corrosion, making this shock a dependable choice for work trucks, tow rigs, and off-road-capable Ford Super Duty builds. As a direct-fit rear shock absorber, installation is straightforward with no major modifications required when used within the recommended ride height range.
