Product Description
The BILSTEIN 25-311822 5160 Series Shock Absorber is engineered for high-performance rear suspension control on 1999-2016 Ford F250 and F350 4WD trucks equipped with a 3–5 inch lift. Designed for serious diesel truck owners, this shock delivers exceptional ride quality, durability, and off-road capability.
