Our take on the Front Shock Absorber - Compatible with 2011 - 2018 Ram 1500 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017

This is a single Bilstein B8 5100 front shock absorber for 2011–2018 Ram 1500 trucks, built as a 46mm monotube with a digressive self-adjusting valve. It uses snap-ring grooves to set the front spring seat for 0 to 1.75 inches of lift with the stock coil springs, so it levels the truck and adds wheel travel. The body is zinc plated and there is no remote reservoir. At $122.95 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of what these shocks have cost recently.

Pros
  • 46mm monotube with digressive valving firms up body control
  • Snap-ring grooves set 0–1.75 in of front lift with OE springs
  • Zinc-plated body resists corrosion
  • Adds front wheel travel over a stock-length shock
  • Vehicle-specific tuning for the Ram 1500
Cons
  • Sold as one shock, so a pair costs about double
  • No reservoir, so it is not a hard-core off-road damper
  • Lift range is limited to 1.75 in on this application
  • Firmer ride than stock on rough pavement

What reviewers say

Owners of Ram 1500s commonly fit these to level the front and report a firmer, better-controlled ride than worn factory shocks. Some find the valving stiff on broken pavement.

Pros
  • Levels the front end with stock springs
  • Noticeably better body control and less float
  • Holds up well on washboard and dirt roads
  • Straightforward bolt-in install
Cons
  • Firmer than stock on rough city streets
  • Priced per shock, not per pair
  • Lift limited on some setups

From ARH Automotive

  • B8 5100 Ride Height Adjustable front shock absorber for trucks and SUVs with front OE coilover style suspension
  • Multiple snap-ring grooves allow different spring seat positions for 0-3 inches of front lift with OE springs (depending on application)
  • 46mm monotube digressive piston with self-adjusting deflective disc valve setting
  • Provides increased wheel travel and improved handling
  • Easiest way to level out your vehicle

Questions and answers

Is one price for a pair or a single shock?
It is one front shock. Plan on buying two to replace both sides.
How much lift can it give my Ram 1500?
On this application the snap-ring grooves allow 0 to 1.75 inches of front lift with the stock coil springs.
Will it fit a 4WD Ram 1500?
The fitment list covers RWD models across many trims. Check your drivetrain and trim before ordering.
Does it come with springs or hardware?
No. It is the shock body only, and you reuse the factory coil springs and mounting hardware.
Is it worth it over stock replacement shocks?
If you want to level the front and tighten handling, yes. If you want the softest stock ride, a standard replacement is cheaper.
When is it cheapest?
The $122.95 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026 is near the low end of its recent range. Watch for sales around truck events and holidays.
