Bilstein Heavy Duty Shocks for Truck and SUV

Factory shocks and struts can often provide adequate performance and handling for a normal driver. But sometimes you need something more – something heavy duty. Whether you are upgrading or replacing your worn out factory shock absorbers, a heavy duty Bilstein shock will provide you fade-free performance backed by a lifetime warranty.

The Bilstein heavy duty series is perfect for a wide range of customers. Whether you are hauling a horse trailer or taking your truck off-road, Bilstein HD shocks are a great choice for your truck or suv. Bilstein shocks feature a superior monotube design that is constructed to maximize heat dissipation which will extend shock life, and improve control and handling characteristics.

The piston head portion of the shock is built with fewer parts than most designs in order to provide optimum ride comfort and control. This simple design provides maximum durability and performance. With the Bilstein HD series you will not find a generic shock that has extremely stiff valve and ride characteristics. Bilstein shocks are designed for your specific application and to provide a smooth and safe ride on or off road.

Gas Pressure
Bilstein shock absorbers feature gas pressure technology that was originally developed by Bilstein and has established itself as the industry standard. The way the gas pressure works is by keeping the oil in the absorber while under pressure, preventing it from foaming when temperatures and load support increases. Thanks to this technology, full damping power is still available even when the shocks are put under heavy loaded conditions. With Bilstein gas pressure, you can expect a high level of traction and handling as well as added safety in adverse and dynamic driving situations.

Mono-Tube Technology
The original mono-tube shock absorber was built with the Bilstein name, and Bilstein still produces the best mono tube shock in the industry. These mono-tube's are built with a large effective surface on the working piston which creates increased damping power as well as better handling. The Bilstein mono-tube also has a sturdy structure for added safety in Upside-Down technology as well as improved dissipation of thermal energy and heat.
