What is the benefit of the remote reservoir?

The remote reservoir increases the shock absorber's oil capacity. This allows for greater heat dissipation, which helps prevent fade and optimizes performance, especially during extended use or in demanding off-road conditions.

How does the valving system work?

This shock features self-adjusting deflective disc valving. It reacts immediately to changes in the terrain, helping to maintain consistent damping and maximize vehicle control.

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

The shock absorber is fitted with a unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting. This design helps provide a clean and low-profile installation, making it easier to route the hose without interference.

About this part

Product Details

This Bilstein B8 5165 shock absorber features a 46mm monotube design, which helps keep things cool and consistent, even when you're pushing your light truck or SUV hard off-road. The remote reservoir is key here; it holds extra shock oil, giving you more cooling capacity and allowing for increased wheel travel compared to a standard shock. This means better performance and more durability when you're tackling tough terrain.

You'll also find self-adjusting deflective disc valving inside, which reacts quickly to changes in the road or trail surface. This helps maintain maximum vehicle control, giving you confidence on varied surfaces. The 5/8 inch eyelets come with hour glass bushings on both ends, and the unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting makes for a clean, low-profile installation. Bilstein built these for custom off-road applications where you need reliable performance and increased durability.
