Thumbnail Filmstrip of LML|L5P Duramax Front 5160 Series Shock Absorber Bilstein 25-312027 Images
The Bilstein 25-312027 B8 5160 Series Shock Absorber is an engineered solution for owners of 2011–2025 GM Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 trucks looking to maintain peak performance on a lifted 2WD or 4WD platform. Designed specifically for front-end applications with 4 to 6 inches of lift, this shock addresses the unique suspension geometry of the LML and L5P Duramax chassis. Standard shock absorbers often struggle with heat soak and limited travel when paired with lift kits; however, the B8 5160 utilizes a sophisticated monotube design to provide consistent, fade-free damping. By choosing a component tuned for your specific vehicle height and weight, you ensure that your truck retains its composure and stability, regardless of the terrain.
- Remote Reservoir: Dramatically increases oil capacity for superior heat dissipation and cooling, while allowing for increased wheel travel compared to traditional shocks.
- 360-Degree Swivel Banjo Hose Fitting: Provides a clean, low-profile installation by allowing the reservoir hose to rotate, ensuring a perfect fit without interference.
- Velocity-Sensitive Digressive Valve Settings: Custom-tuned for the GM heavy-duty application to react instantly to changing road surfaces, providing firm control when needed and a smooth ride on level ground.
- Monotube Design: Ensures dependable, consistent performance by preventing the aeration and foaming often found in twin-tube shock absorbers.
Integrating this direct-fit shock absorber into your vehicle does more than just accommodate a lift kit; it fundamentally enhances the handling characteristics of your heavy-duty truck. The inclusion of the unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose simplifies the installation process, ensuring that the remote reservoir is mounted securely and cleanly. This system is purpose-built to conquer the harshest off-road conditions by providing the cooling capacity required for long-duration stress while maintaining refined manners for daily driving. Investing in the Bilstein 5160 series means equipping your Duramax with the durability and precision necessary to master any environment.
