Product Description
The BILSTEIN 24-187183 5100 Series Shock Absorber is engineered specifically for lifted 2001-2010 GM 2500HD and 3500HD trucks running a 4-6 inch suspension lift. Designed to handle the increased demands of lifted applications, this high-performance shock delivers exceptional control, ride quality, and durability both on and off-road.

Designed as a direct-fit solution for lifted trucks, this shock installs easily with no modifications required beyond your lift kit.
