Shocks and Struts, Shock Absorbers & Truck Shocks

Shop shocks, struts, coilover references and suspension-service components at Black Ops Auto Works. Compare Bilstein, KYB, KONI, FOX, King, ICON, Rancho, QA1 and other listed options for original-height service, lowered street use, leveling or off-road travel. Build around the vehicle’s suspension and driving needs before choosing damping features.

Original-Height and Performance Service

KYB Excel-G, Bilstein B4 and other replacement references serve defined factory-suspension applications. Bilstein B6 and KONI performance families provide different supported damping choices; select by actual spring/height and factory equipment.

Sport, electronic, air/load-leveling and high-performance suspension exclusions matter. A standard Durango or BMW service reference is not automatically appropriate for every performance or adaptive-suspension variant.

Lift, Leveling and Off-Road Dampers

Bilstein B8 5100 ride-height-adjustable front references differ from non-adjustable rear dampers. FOX, King, ICON, Rancho, Skyjacker and ARB references also identify particular lift, travel and vehicle arrangements.

Remote/piggyback reservoirs, bypass construction and damping adjusters serve different operating/setup goals. Choose exact compressed/extended lengths, mounting and travel requirements; not every reservoir shock has the same adjustability.

Coilovers, Loaded Struts and Adjustment

QA1 coilover references distinguish non-adjustable, single- and double-adjustable designs and specific mounting/lengths. A bare coilover damper does not automatically supply springs or vehicle brackets.

KYB Strut-Plus and other loaded assemblies differ from damper-only references. Compare single corner, pair and full-kit quantities. Ride-height adjustment and damping adjustment are separate features.

Service Hardware and Conversions

Bilstein B1 clips, bushings and active-to-passive modules, FOX rebuild parts, King spacers and QA1 mounts/extensions are components rather than complete dampers. Review exact application and included pieces.

Steering dampers also serve a different job from wheel-suspension shocks. Any electronic/passive conversion needs its supported complete hardware/control arrangement rather than assuming a module alone completes it.

Complete the Suspension Plan

Compare spring configuration, current lift/lowering, mounting interfaces, load/use and wheel/axle travel. Dampers must suit the installed system; a vehicle-name match alone may not establish fit after modifications.

Follow manufacturer setup, alignment, bump-stop and inspection guidance. Send factory suspension options, existing springs/height and proposed part numbers for help selecting the correct axle/side and package.

Choose Your Part

  • Choose original-height service, handling, leveling/lift or off-road travel.
  • Match exact suspension option, current springs/height and axle/side.
  • Compare damping features separately from ride-height adjustment.
  • Review single/pair/kit contents, mounts, travel and companion parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does every B8 5100 adjust ride height?

No. Select the expressly ride-height-adjustable reference; many rear dampers are non-adjustable.

Is damping adjustment the same as height adjustment?

No. They control different aspects of the suspension.

Does a bare coilover shock include a spring?

Not automatically. Compare the exact package.

Will a standard-suspension shock fit every adaptive variant?

Do not assume so. Match factory equipment and supported conversions.

Is a rebuild kit a complete new shock?

No. It supplies the stated service components.

Does a pair or single listing cover all four wheels?

No. Check axle/side and actual quantity.
