Product Description
The BILSTEIN 25-311907 5160 Series Shock Absorber is engineered for 2014-2023 Ram 2500 4WD trucks running a 2–2.5 inch lift, delivering superior control, durability, and off-road performance. Built for heavy-duty diesel applications, this premium front shock is ideal for Cummins-powered trucks that demand consistent performance under load and in extreme conditions.
