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 can allow for more wheel travel.

What kind of valving does this shock use?

This shock absorber features self-adjusting deflective disc valving. This type of valving reacts quickly to changes in the terrain, helping to maintain vehicle control.

What is the mounting style for this shock?

This is an eye-to-eye shock absorber with 5/8 inch eyelets. It includes hour glass bushings on both ends and a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting for installation.

About this part

Product Details

Bilstein is well-known for making solid suspension components, and their B8 5165 series remote reservoir shocks are built for custom off-road applications. If you're building a light truck or SUV for serious trail use, these shocks can help you dial in the ride you're looking for. They feature a 46mm monotube design that keeps performance consistent, even when things get hot, and the remote reservoir adds extra oil capacity for better heat dissipation and more wheel travel than a standard shock.

These shocks are designed to give you more control on rough terrain. The self-adjusting valving reacts quickly to changes in the surface, helping to keep your tires planted. Installation is made cleaner with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, which allows for a low-profile setup. The 5/8 inch eyelets come with hour glass bushings on both ends, and the overall construction is meant to hold up in harsh off-road conditions.
