What is the benefit of the remote reservoir on this shock absorber?

The remote reservoir holds additional shock fluid, which increases cooling capacity. This helps prevent the shock from overheating and fading during extended or aggressive use, especially off-road.

How does the monotube design help my Tacoma?

A monotube design separates the oil and gas within the shock, which helps maintain consistent performance and prevents the foaming that can lead to fade. This means more reliable damping over rough terrain.

Does this shock absorber come with everything needed for installation?

This shock absorber includes the remote reservoir and a unique swivel banjo hose fitting. It is designed as a direct fit for lifted Tacomas, but you should refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures.

About this part

Product Details

If you've lifted your 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma and are heading off-road, this Bilstein 5160 Series rear shock absorber is a solid choice. It's built to handle tougher conditions than stock, especially when you're pushing your truck's suspension to its limits on trails.

What sets this shock apart is the remote reservoir. It holds extra shock fluid, which helps keep the shock cooler under heavy use. This means more consistent performance and less fading, even on long, bumpy trails. The monotube design also contributes to this consistent performance, reacting quickly to changes in the terrain thanks to its self-adjusting valving. Bilstein tunes these shocks specifically for the Tacoma, so you get a setup that works well right out of the box.

Installation is made cleaner with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting and a billet reservoir mount, which helps it tuck away neatly. This setup is designed to give you more wheel travel and better durability for tackling challenging off-road environments.
