Product Description

The Bilstein 24-185257 B8 5100 front shock absorber is engineered as a high-performance upgrade for lifted Jeep Wrangler TJ models from 1997 through 2006. Built with a monotube gas-charged design and a velocity-sensitive, digressive piston, this shock helps maintain superior damping control as you tackle varied terrain. Its corrosion-resistant zinc plated finish and included protective boot enhance durability for off-road and all-weather use.

This shock is specifically tuned for front lift heights around 3" when used with a short arm lift kit, offering a direct bolt-on solution that improves ride quality, stability, and handling over stock components. Designed for Jeeps with larger tires and enhanced suspension travel, the 24-185257 delivers reliable performance on both trails and highways. Sold individually, pairing with a matching rear shock is recommended for balanced suspension performance.
