Description
The Bilstein B8 5165 13.1in Travel Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber is engineered for custom off-road trucks and SUVs that demand maximum durability, suspension control, and consistent damping performance in extreme driving conditions. Designed with Bilstein’s proven high gas pressure monotube technology, the B8 5165 series delivers fade-free performance and superior ride quality on rugged terrain.
Featuring a remote reservoir design, this shock absorber increases oil capacity for improved heat dissipation and sustained damping performance during aggressive off-road use. The 46mm monotube construction combined with self-adjusting deflective disc valving allows the shock to react instantly to changing terrain for enhanced vehicle stability and control.
The Bilstein B8 5165 shock is equipped with 5/8-inch Eye/Eye mounts and hourglass bushings on both ends for reliable installation on custom suspension setups. A 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting provides flexible reservoir positioning and a clean, low-profile installation.
Built for demanding off-road environments, the Bilstein B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorber is ideal for custom builds requiring increased wheel travel, improved cooling efficiency, and long-lasting suspension performance.
