Bilstein 5160 Series 5165 Series 7.5in. Travel 170/60 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

If you're building a custom off-road rig and need a shock absorber that can handle tough terrain, the Bilstein B8 5165 Classic is a solid choice. This monotube shock absorber is designed for light trucks and SUVs looking for a specific ride quality and improved off-road capability. The remote reservoir is key here, as it significantly increases the shock's oil capacity. This means better heat dissipation, which helps prevent fade during long, demanding off-road runs and allows for more wheel travel.

Bilstein uses a 46mm monotube design, which is known for consistent performance and quick reaction to changing surfaces thanks to its self-adjusting deflective disc valving. This setup helps maintain vehicle control even when you're tackling rough trails. The shock also features a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, making for a cleaner, more low-profile installation. The eyelets are 5/8 inch with hourglass bushings, and the whole unit is finished with a Triple-C-Technology Coating for added durability.

This shock absorber is built to increase the overall durability of your custom vehicle, helping you conquer harsh off-road environments. It's a well-built component designed to work hard when you need it to.
