What is the benefit of a remote reservoir shock absorber?

A remote reservoir increases the shock absorber's oil capacity. This allows for better heat dissipation, which helps prevent performance fade during hard use and enables greater wheel travel.

What does the monotube design offer?

The 46mm monotube design provides consistent performance and quick reaction to surface changes. This helps maintain vehicle control, especially in demanding off-road conditions.

Does this shock absorber come with mounting hardware?

About this part

Product Details

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.
