Bilstein B8 5165 13.1in Travel Remote Reservoir - Eye/Eye 170/60

If you're building a custom off-road rig for serious trail use, getting the suspension dialed in is key. The Bilstein B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorber is built for these kinds of demanding applications, helping you achieve a more controlled and capable ride on rough terrain. This shock absorber is designed to give your light truck or SUV the performance you need when you're far from the pavement.

This shock features a 46mm monotube design, which helps keep things cool and consistent, even when you're pushing it hard. The remote reservoir is a big part of that, as it holds extra shock oil to dissipate heat more effectively than a standard shock. This means less fade and more reliable damping when you need it most. Bilstein also includes a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, which makes for a cleaner, lower-profile installation, especially important when you're fabricating custom suspension setups. The self-adjusting deflective disc valving reacts quickly to changes in the terrain, giving you improved control.

This particular shock absorber has 13.1 inches of travel and uses eyelet mounts on both ends, complete with 5/8 inch eyelets and hour glass bushings for a solid connection. It's a well-built component aimed at maximizing your custom vehicle's durability and performance in harsh off-road environments.
