If you're looking to improve the ride quality and control of your 2011-2024 GM 2500HD or 3500HD, the Bilstein B8 5100 Series Front Shock Pair is one of the best upgrades you can make. Your truck's factory shocks are built to get the job done, but they often leave a lot to be desired when it comes to handling, stability, and comfort—especially when the truck is loaded or driven off-road. These Bilstein 5100 shocks are designed to handle the demands of heavy-duty trucks while delivering a smoother, more controlled ride on any terrain. One of the standout features of these shocks is their ability to accommodate up to 1.5 inches of front leveling. While they won’t lift your truck on their own, they are built to work perfectly with a torsion key leveling kit or any mild front lift. This ensures that the shocks maintain proper suspension travel and damping performance, keeping your truck stable whether it’s hauling heavy loads, towing, or driving over rough terrain.
Performance-wise, these shocks are a big step up from stock. Each shock features Bilstein’s monotube gas pressure technology, which provides consistent damping and fade-free performance, even when you're out pushing thigns to the limit. The 46mm digressive piston and self-adjusting deflective disc valving allow the shock to react instantly to changing road conditions. Durability is another area where these shocks shine. The shock bodies are zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and feature a unique multi-layer coating that protects against rust and the elements. This is especially important for trucks that see harsh weather, road salt, or off-road conditions. Best of all, installation is simple, as these shocks bolt directly into place using the factory mounts. They accept the stock coil springs and upper mounts, so there’s no need for extra modifications.
