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

The remote reservoir holds additional shock oil, which significantly increases cooling capacity. This helps prevent the shock from overheating and fading during demanding use, ensuring consistent performance.

How does the monotube design help my truck?

A monotube design separates the oil and gas within the shock, which helps maintain consistent damping performance and prevents the oil from foaming. This leads to fade-free operation, especially during hard driving or off-road use.

Does this shock absorber come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This shock absorber includes a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting and a billet reservoir mount. For specific installation hardware, it's always best to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions.

About this part

Product Details

Bilstein is well-known for their high-performance suspension components, and the B8 5160 series shocks are a prime example of their expertise for lifted trucks. If you're looking to get more out of your 2014-2025 Ram 2500 Powerwagon, especially when venturing off-road, this rear shock absorber is designed to handle the demands.

This means you get consistent performance and less fade, even during hard use or over rough terrain. The monotube design also contributes to this fade-free operation, reacting quickly to changes in the road or trail thanks to its self-adjusting valving. You'll notice improved control and a more stable ride, whether you're on the highway or tackling tough off-road conditions.

Installation is made cleaner with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting and a billet reservoir mount, keeping things tidy and low-profile. This shock absorber is built to increase durability and allow for greater wheel travel, helping you conquer challenging off-road environments with confidence.
