Description
The Bilstein B8 5165 8.8in Travel Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber is designed for custom off-road trucks and SUVs that require dependable suspension performance, enhanced durability, and consistent damping control in demanding driving conditions. Featuring Bilstein’s high gas pressure monotube technology, the B8 5165 series delivers fade-free performance and improved handling across rough terrain.
Its remote reservoir design increases shock oil capacity to improve heat dissipation and maintain consistent damping during aggressive off-road use. The 46mm monotube construction combined with self-adjusting deflective disc valving allows the shock absorber to react instantly to changing terrain conditions, maximizing vehicle stability and control.
The Bilstein B8 5165 shock absorber includes durable 5/8-inch Eye/Eye mounts with hourglass bushings on both ends, making it suitable for a wide range of custom suspension applications. A 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting provides flexible reservoir placement and a clean, low-profile installation.
Built for harsh off-road environments, the Bilstein B8 5165 remote reservoir shock is an ideal solution for custom suspension systems requiring increased wheel travel, improved cooling efficiency, and reliable long-term performance.
