The Bilstein B8 5100 is a monotube front shock for 2011-2014 Ram 1500 4WD trucks with coilover front suspension. Its 46mm digressive piston and self-adjusting deflective disc valving firm up damping, and snap-ring grooves in the body set front lift from stock height up to about 2.5 inches. It is the common step up from stock twin-tube shocks for owners running a leveling kit or mild lift, and it competes with Fox 2.0 and Rancho RS9000XL units on ride control rather than adjustability. Damping is fixed, so buyers who want to tune stiffness should look elsewhere.

Owners of lifted and leveled Ram 1500s generally report better control, less body roll and a firmer but planted ride. The main complaints are a stiffer ride over broken pavement and the need to buy two for the front.
This Bilstein B8 5100 Series shock absorber is a monotube design for front coilover-style pickup suspensions. It is listed for 2011-2014 Ram 1500 4WD models without air leveling suspension. It has a 46mm digressive piston with self-adjusting deflective disc valving.
The body is zinc-plated steel with a Triple-C-Technology coating. Multiple snap-ring grooves in the shock body allow different spring seat positions, which gives front-end lift that depends on the application. The shock is designed to increase wheel travel and improve handling.
Lift height is suggested by the manufacturer. Aftermarket suspension systems vary, so take a measurement to confirm proper application. Shocks are sold individually, and 2 are needed per vehicle.
