The 19-100180 is specifically valved to match the original equipment damping characteristics of the Sprinter 2500 rear suspension, delivering the same handling balance and load-bearing capability that the vehicle was designed with from the factory. Whether the Sprinter is used for daily commercial duty or loaded cargo applications, the Bilstein 19-100180 provides a direct, no-modification replacement that meets or exceeds OE performance standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBilstein engineers each B4 replacement shock with application-specific valve settings to ensure it reacts correctly to the unique spring rates, axle weights, and suspension geometry of the target vehicle. The 19-100180 uses a twintube gas pressure design, providing consistent damping performance through a full range of operating temperatures. The result is a shock absorber that restores steering response, braking stability, and ride comfort without requiring any reconfiguration of the factory suspension setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e19-100180 Key Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eB4 OE Replacement twintube shock absorber for Dodge Sprinter 2500 rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplication-specific valve settings matched to OE Sprinter 2500 specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets or exceeds original equipment damping standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGas pressure twintube design for consistent, temperature-stable performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-in fitment, no modifications required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh power reserves for maximum safety under full load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores original ride comfort, handling response, and stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured to Bilstein OE quality standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSubmodel\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2004\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDodge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSprinter 2500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19-100180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBilstein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB4 OE Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePosition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShock Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwintube Gas Pressure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper Mount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye 14mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLower Mount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye 12mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtended Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 543mm (21.38 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompressed Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 322mm (12.68 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBilstein Limited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e651860488516\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Bilstein 19-100180 B4 rear shock absorber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bilstein 19-100180 is a direct replacement for the factory rear shock absorber on the 2004 Dodge Sprinter 2500.

This is a direct OE replacement shock absorber for that specific application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat series is the Bilstein 19-100180?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 19-100180 belongs to the Bilstein B4 OE Replacement series. B4 shocks are engineered to match factory ride quality and handling balance, making them the ideal choice for restoration of the original driving experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Bilstein 19-100180 a direct bolt-in replacement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 19-100180 is a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory Sprinter 2500 rear shock absorber. No modifications to the vehicle or suspension components are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Bilstein 19-100180 use gas pressure?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 19-100180 uses a gas pressure twintube design. The gas charge reduces fluid aeration under sustained use, providing more consistent damping performance compared to conventional oil-only shock designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the B4 series compare to other Bilstein series?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe B4 series is Bilstein's OE replacement line, designed to restore factory ride characteristics. The B6 series offers a performance upgrade with firmer valving for improved handling, while maintaining compatibility with OE springs. For the 19-100180 application, B4 is the correct choice when the goal is to restore original Sprinter 2500 ride quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I replace rear shocks in pairs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Bilstein recommends replacing shock absorbers in axle pairs. Installing one new shock while leaving a worn unit on the opposite side creates unbalanced damping across the axle, which can affect handling stability and braking performance, particularly under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty on the Bilstein 19-100180?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Bilstein 19-100180 is covered by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty applies to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. As a suspension product, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides additional consumer protections against manufacturer warranty restrictions tied to vehicle maintenance or the use of aftermarket parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Bilstein 19-100180 legal in California?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis product has been restricted from sale in California per manufacturer guidelines.
