What is the benefit of the remote reservoir on these shocks?

The remote reservoir holds additional shock oil, which helps dissipate heat more effectively. This leads to more consistent performance and increased wheel travel, especially during demanding off-road use.

How does the monotube design help my truck?

A monotube design separates the oil and gas, which helps prevent the shock from overheating and losing performance (fading). This means you get more consistent damping and better control in various conditions.

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 where applicable. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of required hardware.

About this part

Product Details

Bilstein is well-known for making solid suspension components, and their B8 5160 series shocks are a popular choice for trucks that see a lot of action off-road. This front shock absorber is specifically built for your 2014-2025 Ram 2500 Powerwagon 4WD, especially if you've added a lift of 0 to 2 inches.

What sets these apart is the remote reservoir. It holds extra shock oil, which helps keep things cool and allows for more wheel travel. This means you get consistent performance, even when you're pushing your truck hard on rough terrain, and it helps prevent the shock from fading. The monotube design also contributes to that steady performance, reacting quickly to changes in the road or trail thanks to its self-adjusting valving. Installation is made cleaner with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo fitting and a billet reservoir mount.

If you're looking to improve your Ram's off-road capability and durability, especially with a lifted setup, these shocks are a well-built option designed to handle demanding conditions.
