About Us

Driving dynamics is our passion: Realizing the perfect driving behavior, building the perfect shock absorber – that is the motivation that drives us. Every day. And we have been doing so for around 70 years. Even then, we knew that tomorrow’s driving experience counts more than yesterday’s performance. And that the next innovation is always more important than the last. That’s why we know only one claim: We shape the present and future of chassis engineering.

Product Description

Bilstein B8 5100 shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit solution for lifted trucks and SUV’s. These shock absorbers feature a monotube design which provides consistent fade free performance. B8 5100 shock absorbers utilize a unique, velocity sensitive, digressive piston which reacts to changing road conditions. All B8 5100 shock absorbers are tuned for each specific application to assure optimal performance is achieved. B8 5100 shock absorbers offer a significant improvement in ride quality, handling, and comfort.

5 Stars
Great! Just great!
These are a great bang for your buck. They’re soft but not too soft. Not bouncy. They absorb really well and cushion the road, no matter how bumpy for wavy it may be. Very pleased and will choose this brand for my front spring/strut assembly here in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars improvement over factory shocks
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2021
This was a good investment for my 18 F150, even though my truck only has 45K miles there was a difference from the factory shocks. I even pull/push tested the oem and bilstein shocks and a good difference between them, bilsteins being stronger. Install was easy, 15mm bolt and 18mm nut on each one, (driver side upper had a nut with a small bracket to keep it from turning so didn't really need a wrench on it at first) took about 25 minutes and after a test drive I am happy, rear end stays planted better, takes bumps better and feels more stable! Now on to do the bilstein fronts and level the truck!
