Bilstein B8 5100 Front Shock Pair
This package supplies two Bilstein B8 5100 front shock absorbers, part 24-268639, for compatible 2014–2026 Ram 2500 4WD trucks with an existing 2–2.5-inch front suspension lift.
Included components
- Two 24-268639 front shock absorbers — fit vehicles with 2–2.5 inches of front lift
Vehicle fitment
Bilstein's exact-part application table lists 2014–2026 Ram 2500 applications, with 4WD specified on the listed drivetrain-specific rows. Confirm your exact year, trim, drivetrain and suspension configuration in the manufacturer application table before ordering.
This listing does not claim Ram 3500 compatibility: the manufacturer application table for 24-268639 lists Ram 2500 applications. Do not select these shocks for a Ram 3500 solely because an earlier version of the listing included that model.
Lift compatibility, not lift supplied
The 2–2.5-inch figure describes the front suspension lift these shocks accommodate. These are replacement shock absorbers, not ride-height-adjustable coilovers, leveling spacers or lift springs. Installing the shocks alone does not raise the truck.
This is a front-only pair. Rear shocks, front springs and other lift-producing components are not listed as included. Because this package replaces front shocks only, rear suspension configuration should not be inferred from its contents.
Shock design
Bilstein B8 5100 shocks use monotube construction and velocity-sensitive digressive damping to respond to changing road inputs. The exact 24-268639 specification lists a 46mm piston. Application-specific tuning is intended to support ride comfort and controlled handling on compatible lifted trucks.
