What is the main benefit of the remote reservoir on these shocks?

The remote reservoir holds extra shock fluid, which helps dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent damping performance and reduces the chance of shock fade, especially during demanding off-road use or heavy towing.

Are these shocks a direct replacement for my stock shocks?

These Bilstein 5160 shocks are designed as a direct fit for lifted Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks from 2005-2016. They are intended to work with suspension lift kits and may not be a direct replacement for stock height vehicles.

What kind of installation hardware is included with these shocks?

The shocks feature a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting and a billet reservoir mount where applicable, designed for a clean, low-profile installation. Specific mounting hardware for the reservoir is included as part of the kit.

About this part

Product Details

If you've lifted your 2005-2016 Ford F-250 or F-350 Super Duty and are looking to get more out of your suspension, especially off-road, these Bilstein 5160 remote reservoir shocks are a solid option. They're built to handle tougher conditions than stock, giving you better control and more wheel travel when you need it most.

What sets these apart is the remote reservoir. It holds extra shock fluid, which helps keep the shock cooler during hard use. This means more consistent performance and less fading, even on rough terrain. The monotube design also contributes to this fade-free operation, reacting quickly to changes in the road or trail. Bilstein tunes the digressive valving specifically for these trucks, so you get improved control without sacrificing too much comfort on your daily drive.

Installation is made cleaner with the 360-degree swivel banjo hose fittings and a billet reservoir mount, which tucks away nicely. These shocks are designed to be a direct fit for lifted Super Duty trucks, making the upgrade straightforward.
