Bilstein 5100 Series 1998 Jeep Wrangler SE Front 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

Purpose-built for Wranglers running 4.5-inch long arm suspension lifts, this 5100 Series front shock delivers the control needed for serious trail performance. The monotube design with 46mm digressive piston provides larger surface area for instantaneous reaction to changing surface conditions, from rock crawling to high-speed desert running. Compressed length of 16.51 inches extends to 26.5 inches, perfectly matching modified suspension travel requirements while preventing harsh bottoming over obstacles. Velocity-sensitive valving automatically adjusts damping force based on shaft speed, offering compliance over small bumps while resisting harsh impacts. Multi-layer zinc coating delivers extreme surface durability against trail damage and corrosion. This application-specific tuning addresses the unique demands placed on Wrangler suspension systems with lifted geometry and larger tire combinations. High-pressure gas charge maintains separation between oil and nitrogen to prevent fade during extended off-road sessions. Factory-compatible mounting hardware ensures straightforward installation without modifications to chassis or suspension components.

Conquer challenging trails with confidence knowing your suspension responds precisely to driver inputs and terrain demands. Built for enthusiasts who demand performance beyond stock capabilities with the reliability Bilstein delivers mile after mile.
