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

The remote reservoir holds additional shock oil, which increases the cooling capacity. This helps prevent the shock from overheating and fading during demanding off-road use, allowing for more consistent performance.

What kind of installation can I expect with the banjo fitting?

The shock features a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting. This design allows for a clean, low-profile installation, making it easier to route the hose without interference.

Does this shock come with mounting hardware?

The shock absorber is equipped with 5/8 inch eyelets and hour glass bushings on both ends. Specific mounting hardware beyond these bushings is not detailed in the product description.

About this part

Product Details

This is the Bilstein B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorber, part number 25-331745. It's built for custom off-road applications on light trucks and SUVs where you need more performance than a standard shock can offer. The monotube design with high gas pressure helps keep things consistent, even when you're pushing your vehicle hard.

What sets this shock apart is the remote reservoir. It holds extra shock oil, which means better cooling and less chance of fade during long, tough off-road runs. This also allows for increased wheel travel, giving you more capability on challenging terrain. The self-adjusting valving reacts quickly to changes in the road or trail, helping you maintain control. Plus, the unique 360-degree swivel banjo fitting makes for a cleaner, lower-profile installation.

With its increased durability, this Bilstein shock is ready to help you tackle harsh off-road environments. It comes with 5/8 inch eyelets and hour glass bushings on both ends for a solid connection.
