Product Description

The Bilstein 24-185660 B8 5100 rear shock absorber is engineered as a high-performance upgrade for lifted Jeep Wrangler YJ models from 1987 through 1995. Designed for vehicles with approximately 3-4" of rear suspension lift, this shock utilizes Bilstein's monotube gas-charged construction and velocity-sensitive digressive piston to deliver consistent, fade-free damping across varied road conditions. The zinc-plated finish resists corrosion and enhances durability for off-road and all-weather use.

This shock is custom tuned for lifted Wrangler YJ rear applications and installs directly into factory mounting points without modification. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace both rear shocks as a matched pair to maintain balanced suspension performance. Whether tackling rugged terrain, towing, or navigating street driving with larger tires and increased ride height, the 24-185660 helps improve handling and ride quality over stock components.
