About this part

Product Details

If you're building a custom off-road truck or SUV and need a shock absorber that can handle tough terrain, the Bilstein B8 5165 is a solid option. This shock is designed to give you more control and durability when you're out exploring, especially in demanding off-road situations.

Inside, the self-adjusting deflective disc valving reacts quickly to changes in the road or trail, helping you maintain control. The 5/8 inch eyelets with hour glass bushings ensure a strong connection, and the unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting makes for a clean and low-profile installation.

This shock absorber is built to increase the overall durability of your custom vehicle, letting you tackle harsh off-road environments with more confidence.
