Give your 3 to 5-inch lifted RAM 2500 with excellent handling performance and a comfortable ride with this Bilstein B8 5100 Series Rear Shock for 3 to 5-Inch Lift. This rear shock absorber is designed to provide faster damping response and precise handling courtesy of a monotube gas-charged design and specialized velocity-sensitive digressive valving technology. This shock will provide you with a firm but no less comfortable ride with the same level of handling control for a safer drive on the highway.

Great Value
I use these in my service trucks. We have a standard service body and ladder rack so we do a 2" inch lift using Carli coil springs and then pair them with the 5100s. Ride quality is very good, handling equally good. I like these Bilsteins especially when carrying a load. They do very well under stress.

Hard to go wrong with Bilstein
I bought these reservoir shocks for the rear of my 2500 because I want the extra oil capacity because I tow a 6000 lb off-road trailer off-grid. So figured rear shocks would get more of a workout when on extended runs on AZ's rocky trails. So far, so good. Rear of truck is more controlled under acceleration and the truck doesn't hop around when hitting bumps on the street. Ride quality is improved though it is still stiff. After all, it's a 2500. Build quality is great as it is with Bilstein products. Recommend.
