About this part

Product Details

This is the Bilstein B8 5160 front shock absorber, specifically designed for your 1994-2010 Dodge Ram 2500, especially if you've added a 0-3 inch lift. It's built to handle tougher conditions than a standard shock, giving you more control whether you're on the road or tackling off-road trails.

What sets this shock apart is its remote reservoir. This extra tank holds more shock oil, which helps keep the shock cooler during hard use. That means you get consistent performance without fading, even when you're pushing your truck. The monotube design also contributes to this fade-free operation, reacting quickly to changes in the road surface thanks to its self-adjusting valving. It's a well-built unit that's made to last and improve your truck's handling.

Installation is made easier with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, allowing for a clean and tidy setup. This shock absorber is a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your lifted Ram's suspension for better durability and performance.
