The Bilstein B8 5100 is a set of four monotube gas shocks, two front and two rear, built for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 RWD trucks with a 1.75-inch front lift and up to 1 inch of rear lift. The 46mm digressive piston firms up body control, cutting roll and nose dive while staying composed over bumps. Owners report a clear ride improvement over worn stock shocks, especially at highway speed and on washboard gravel. The trade-off is a firmer feel than stock, so shoppers wanting a soft ride should look elsewhere.

Buyers rate the set highly and describe a noticeable ride difference at high speed and on washboard gravel. Installation is called straightforward, and the shocks feel firm but smooth compared with worn originals. The main complaint is that the ride is firmer than stock.
This set of four Bilstein B8 5100 monotube gas shocks includes two front and two rear shock absorbers. They are extended-length shocks for 2009-2018 Ram 1500 RWD trucks with a 1.75" front lift and up to a 1" rear lift. They work on RWD vehicles only.
The monotube body has a 46mm digressive piston. The single tube moves heat from the shock oil to the shock body, which reduces shock fade. The shocks reduce body roll and nose dive and stay compliant over bumps and holes. They are made for larger wheels and tires, lifted vehicles, heavy loads, towing and off-road use.
The finish is zinc plate, which resists corrosion and rust. Each shock has a black bellows. Factory spec vehicles should use the Bilstein 4600 instead. Its valving suits daily-driven vehicles and pavement.
