Product Description

The Bilstein 24-186513 B8 5100 Front Shock is a performance-oriented auxiliary shock absorber engineered specifically for **1980-1996 Ford F-150 and Ford Bronco 4WD models** with lifted front suspension configurations. This shock is part of Bilstein's B8 5100 Series, known for its monotube gas pressure design and velocity-sensitive piston, which deliver consistent damping performance and improved control over varied terrain. With a zinc plated corrosion-resistant finish and a protective boot, the 24-186513 helps maintain ride quality and stability on lifted trucks and SUVs.

Installed in the auxiliary shock position ahead of the front coil springs, this part is ideal for vehicles with lift kits (commonly ~4" front lift) where additional damping support is needed to handle larger tires and increased suspension travel. Designed for direct fit with OE mounting points, it's sold individually and backed by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty - perfect for enthusiasts looking to upgrade or replace worn auxiliary shocks on their classic Ford 4WD truck or SUV.
