The Bilstein 5100 isn’t just popular—it’s the gold standard for truck owners who want better control, durability, and ride quality without blowing their budget. Whether you’ve got a slight level kit or a full lift, this shock is built to take on more while keeping things smooth.
Why the 5100 Series Gets So Much Respect
What sets the Bilstein 5100 apart? It’s a monotube shock with digressive valving, which means it reacts quickly to terrain changes. Translation: firm when you need it, controlled when it matters most.

A Perfect Fit for Truck Life
Towing a trailer? Hauling weekend gear? Hitting backroads just to see where they go? The Bilstein 5100 is designed to thrive under those conditions. It’s stiffer than stock, but not punishing—ideal for trucks that actually work for a living.
Ride Height Adjustable Versions Available
On some models, Bilstein 5100 struts let you lift the front of your truck up to 2.75 inches without spacers. That’s a clean way to level things out without compromising suspension travel.
