Bilstein B8 5100 Front Coilover Shock for 0–2.3 in Lift for 3rd-Gen 4Runner (1996–2002)

Built around a monotube high-pressure gas design, this shock utilizes a large 46-millimeter piston and a self-adjusting deflective disc valve system. This configuration ensures consistent damping performance, efficient heat dissipation, and reliable operation under sustained load and varying terrain conditions.

Multiple snap-ring grooves along the shock body allow for adjustable spring seat positioning, enabling front ride-height changes while retaining original equipment springs. This approach provides flexibility in leveling and stance without requiring full coilover replacement.

Digressive valving technology delivers firm control during aggressive inputs while maintaining compliance over smaller road imperfections. Increased wheel travel and improved damping response contribute to better traction, reduced body roll, and enhanced driver confidence.

A zinc-plated exterior protects against corrosion and environmental exposure, ensuring long-term structural integrity. The monotube construction resists fade under demanding conditions, maintaining consistent performance throughout extended use.

Designed as a direct-fit upgrade for factory coilover-style front suspension systems, installation integrates with original springs and mounting points. Ride height adjustments are achieved through snap-ring positioning prior to assembly.
