Product Description

The Bilstein B8 5100 Rear Shock Absorber (Part #24-185264) is engineered as a performance-oriented replacement shock specifically for lifted **1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ)** models equipped with an approximate **3" rear lift and short arm suspension kit**.

Constructed with a corrosion-resistant zinc plated finish and protected by a bellows boot, the 24-185264 shock provides durable, reliable performance for lifted Wrangler rear suspensions. The direct-fit design makes installation straightforward for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike. This shock enhances ride quality, stability, and handling while maintaining the geometry of the lifted suspension. Sold individually, replacing both rear shocks is recommended for balanced performance.
