Product Details
Lifting or leveling a 1979-1986 GMC K3500 (C/K) changes what the dampers have to do. The Bilstein B8 shocks are built for that taller stance and stay composed on rough ground.
Inside is Bilstein's monotube design, with the gas and oil separated by a floating piston. That keeps damping consistent when the road turns rough and the unit gets hot, where a lesser damper would go soft.
Features
- 46mm monotube design ensures consistent, fade-free performance in all conditions
- Patented digressive valving instantly reacts to changing surface conditions
- Vehicle specific tuning
