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 demanding off-road use and enables greater wheel travel.

What kind of valving does this Bilstein shock use?

This Bilstein B8 5165 shock absorber features self-adjusting deflective disc valving. This type of valving reacts immediately to changes in the terrain, helping to maintain maximum vehicle control.

Does this shock absorber come with mounting hardware?

The shock absorber is equipped with 5/8 inch eyelets and hour glass bushings on both ends for mounting. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for any additional hardware requirements for your specific custom application.
