Bilstein 24-352864 B8 5100 RHA Front Strut 0-2.5in Lift for 2021-2026 Ford F-150

Vehicle Fitment

• 2021-2026 Ford F-150 (XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, 4WD/4x4, 2.7L EcoBoost V6)
• 2021-2026 Ford F-150 (XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, 4WD/4x4, 3.5L EcoBoost V6)
• 2021-2026 Ford F-150 (XL, STX, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, 4WD/4x4, 5.0L Ti-VCT V8)

Fitment Notes

• Fits 4WD (4x4) drivetrain only - does NOT fit 4x2 (2WD) models.
• Does NOT fit F-150 Raptor or Raptor R - these use proprietary FOX suspension.
• Does NOT fit F-150 Tremor - Tremor models will not gain ride height or meaningful performance benefit.
• Does NOT fit F-150 Lightning (electric) - different platform and suspension architecture.
• Does NOT fit 3.5L PowerBoost Full Hybrid - added powertrain weight reduces effective lift height.
• Does NOT fit 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel - not supported for this application.
• Does NOT fit models equipped with Ford's Dynamic Suspension system.
• Does NOT fit models with Heavy-Duty Payload Package (Option Code 627).
• Front position only - one strut per unit (sold individually).

Features

• Ride Height Adjustable (RHA) design provides 0-2.5 inches of front lift using OE coil springs - no spacers or separate lift kit required.
• Multiple snap-ring grooves on the strut body allow manual spring perch repositioning to dial in exact ride height and stance.
• Monotube gas-pressure design for consistent, fade-free damping performance under all road and load conditions.
• 46mm digressive piston with self-adjusting deflective disc valve technology for velocity-sensitive, application-tuned damping.
• Eliminates front-to-rear factory rake, leveling the truck stance for improved aerodynamics and appearance.
• Accommodates larger aftermarket tires by increasing front clearance without compromising OE spring geometry.
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for long-term durability in harsh on- and off-road environments.
• Application-specific Bilstein tuning ensures optimal compression and rebound balance for the 2021-2026 F-150 platform.
• Improves wheel travel and handling over rough terrain compared to stock twin-tube struts.
• Backed by Bilstein's lifetime limited warranty for the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship.

Product Description

The Bilstein 24-352864 B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable front strut is an all-in-one leveling and performance upgrade engineered specifically for the 2021-2026 Ford F-150 4WD (4x4). Unlike traditional lift spacers that compromise suspension geometry, this strut integrates multiple snap-ring grooves directly into the body of the unit, allowing the spring perch to be repositioned manually to achieve 0-2.5 inches of front lift using your factory coil spring. The result is a cleaner, more capable suspension solution that corrects the F-150's factory front-to-rear rake and provides clearance for larger tires - without the added complexity or cost of a separate leveling kit.

At the heart of this strut is Bilstein's legendary monotube gas-pressure design featuring a 46mm digressive piston with a self-adjusting deflective disc valve. This setup provides velocity-sensitive damping that automatically responds to changing road conditions - delivering firm, controlled response at high-speed highway cruising, smooth absorption over daily commuting bumps, and confident stability during off-road excursions. Each strut is tuned specifically for the 14th-generation F-150 4x4 platform, ensuring that the compression and rebound characteristics work in harmony with the truck's weight distribution and suspension travel. The zinc-plated exterior finish offers superior corrosion resistance for long-term durability in demanding environments.

This strut is sold as a single unit and fits 4WD (4x4) F-150 models only - it does not fit 2WD variants, the Raptor, Raptor R, Tremor, Lightning, 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid, 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel, or any F-150 equipped with Dynamic Suspension or the Heavy-Duty Payload Package (Code 627). The OEM strut mount and coil spring are reused during installation, keeping parts and labor costs down. For a complete front leveling setup, two units are required (one per side). Backed by Bilstein's lifetime limited warranty, the 24-352864 is the preferred choice for F-150 4x4 owners who want a professional-grade, adjustable-height solution without sacrificing ride quality.
