Product Description

The Bilstein 24-185639 B8 5100 rear shock absorber is a vehicle-specific performance upgrade engineered for lifted Jeep Cherokee (XJ) and Wagoneer SUVs. Designed to complement rear lift heights of 2-3 inches, this monotube shock delivers reliable damping control across a variety of road and off-road conditions. With a velocity sensitive, digressive piston and robust zinc-plated finish, the 5100 Series improves ride quality, handling stability, and overall suspension performance over stock shocks.

Constructed with precise valving for your Jeep's rear suspension, the 24-185639 installs as a direct replacement, maintaining proper ride height and shock travel on lifted setups without complex modifications. Whether you're tackling trail terrain or driving on pavement, this Bilstein shock absorber enhances comfort and control while backing its durability with a limited lifetime warranty. Sold individually - most installations require two shocks (one per side).
