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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bilstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53190701449535,"sku":"BIL24-352864","price":176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/7308\/9343\/files\/fcd79da4b43904526a0ad063ab680755L_30867ca2-09ab-4d42-b85d-88e967ef7a25.jpg?v=1779929210","url":"https:\/\/wcaperformance.com\/products\/bilstein-2021-ford-f150-rwd-only-b8-5100-ride-height-adjustable-monotube-shock-absorber-front","provider":"WCA Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
