      Excellent Handling and Ride Comfort. 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.

      Rugged Build Quality. This rear shock absorber features a fully machined alloy 46mm shock body, offering superior durability as well as excellent heat dissipation. Additionally, its chrome-hardened piston rod makes it more than capable of handling the bumps of the open trails. Meanwhile, its bushings are made from high-grade neoprene rubber, providing excellent vibration damping for an even more comfortable ride. Lastly, this assembly receives a rugged zinc plating before being finished in a clear topcoat for maximum protection against corrosion.

      Practical Install Procedure. This rear shock installs into your factory rear shock location without the need for extra drilling or other modifications in most applications. Also, installation is completed using just standard hand tools.

      Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty. This B8 5100 rear shock is backed by a limited lifetime warranty covering workmanship and material defects. Please visit the manufacturer’s website for more details.

      Application. The Bilstein B8 5100 Series Rear Shock for 3 to 5-Inch Lift fit all 2003 to 2013 4WD RAM 2500 models.

      Replaced my original shock that had a spacer with these. The new shocks were the correct length and they ride much nicer. Definitely and upgrade from stock.

      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.
