Bilstein B8 5100 Rear Shock for 0–2 in Lift for 3rd-Gen 4Runner (1996–2002)

A monotube high-pressure gas design forms the foundation of this shock absorber, promoting efficient heat dissipation and fade-resistant performance. The internal structure is engineered for durability under repeated compression cycles and sustained load, ensuring consistent damping characteristics in demanding conditions.

Velocity-sensitive digressive piston valving automatically adapts to changing terrain inputs, delivering controlled response during both low-speed articulation and high-speed impacts. Application-specific tuning ensures compatibility with up to two inches of rear lift.

Enhanced damping control improves overall vehicle stability, reduces oscillation, and increases traction across uneven surfaces. The shock is calibrated to maintain ride comfort while providing the firmness needed for off-road confidence and load management.

Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, installation integrates with factory mounting points using standard hardware configurations. The rear shock does not provide lift independently and is intended to be paired with appropriate springs or spacers.

A zinc-plated exterior provides corrosion resistance against moisture, debris, and road contaminants. Combined with a sealed monotube construction, the shock maintains long-term reliability and structural integrity in harsh environments.
