Bilstein B8 5160 Series Shock Absorber – 25-311853 (Front)
Upgrade your lifted truck or SUV with the Bilstein B8 5160 Series remote reservoir shock absorber (part number 25-311853). This direct-fit monotube shock is engineered for vehicles with 2–2.5" of front lift and delivers superior damping, heat dissipation, and wheel travel compared to standard shocks.
Key Benefits
The remote reservoir dramatically increases oil capacity for better cooling and fade resistance during aggressive driving or extended off-road use. Bilstein’s velocity-sensitive digressive valving provides immediate, progressive damping response—firm enough for control on rough terrain yet comfortable on the street. The result is improved handling, stability, and durability whether you’re towing, hauling, or tackling trails.
Features
- Remote reservoir for increased cooling capacity and greater wheel travel
- Monotube design for consistent, fade-free performance
- Velocity-sensitive digressive piston valving tuned specifically for the application
- Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
- 46 mm piston and 14 mm shaft
- Unique 360° swivel banjo hose fitting for clean, low-profile installation
