Bilstein 5100 Series Shock Absorbers. It is recommended that you replace shocks in pairs (both front shocks, or both rear shocks). Get Bilstein's traditional technology with the 5100 Series Shock Absorbers for lifted Tractor applications. These shocks use a single tube design that provides for fade-free performance and long life. The product benefits at a glance: Monotube gas pressure construction Self-Adjusting Deflecting Disc Valving High-Flow Piston Reduces Harshness Independent Rebound and Compression Tuning Larger Working Piston Area for Exact Damping Superior Control for Large Diameter Tires Designed for specific manufacturer lift kits utilizing the stock O.E.M. mounting configuration.

The number-one choice in motor-sports and for series-production sports Tractors, the monotube shock absorber has a unique design that affords the freedom to choose the ideal installation position or location. Monotube shocks feature a large surface on the working piston which increases the damping power and provides better handling. The design of the monotube shock improves the dissipation of heat which improves the life of the shock and enables a consistent and dependable level of absorber performance. Bilstein's Upside-Down Technology creates a safer functioning shock absorber. Gas Pressure Technology - Full Damping Power Under Extreme Stress Bilstein's gas pressure technology has become an established standard in the automotive industry. By employing a chamber of high pressure gas to keep the oil in the absorber under pressure, Bilstein's Gas Pressure Technology prevents the shock from becoming over-heated. Over-heating can cause the oil within the shock to begin foaming. Because this technology prevents over-heating, Bilstein shock absorbers

Due to their larger tires and a heightened stance, lifted vehicles place extra demands on a shock absorbers damping ability. The 5100 monotube design and patented digressive valving is uniquely suited to confront these demands. On or off-road, loaded or unloaded, Bilstein shocks instantly react to changing road inputs to maintain a stable, controlled, and comfortable ride. Bilstein's superior monotube high gas pressure design allows the excessive heat from the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate more efficiently. The dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping characteristics as temperatures rise.

Bilstein 5100 shocks utilize a monotube design, with a 46mm digressive piston, to increase road handling characteristics both on and off-road. The single tube body allows for rapid heat transfer between the shock oil to the shock body, and then dissipated further to reduce shock fade. German engineering combined with US manufacturing ensures optimum performance and longevity for upwards of 100k miles (real customer feedback!). The 5100 series is more compliant in tougher situations and off-road terrain compared to the 4600 series. Factory spec vehicles should use the 4600 series shocks as the valving is more appropriate for daily driven vehicles and pavement environments.
