Shock

Bilstein B8 5160 remote reservoir shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit solution for lifted trucks and SUVs. The remote reservoir will offer increased cooling capacity and wheel travel to optimize overall performance compared to a traditional shock absorber. These shock absorbers feature a monotube design for consistent fade free performance and utilize velocity sensitive digressive valve settings which are tuned for each specific application. Each shock absorber is fitted with a unique 360 degree swivel banjo hose fitting and an attractive billet reservoir mount where applicable providing a clean, low profile installation. B8 5160 remote reservoir shock absorbers will increase overall durability of your vehicle allowing you to conquer the harshest of off-road environments.

Special Note for Dodge Ram (Classic/DT/DS)

Since Dodge/Ram manufacturered concurrent Ram 1500, 2500 & 3500 models on both new and old body designs, please ensure you select the parts to suit the correct submodel. The year alone may not always be a reliable way to verify your submodel in the case of some Rams, so we encourage you to double check if you have the Classic, or the new shape when making orders for parts that are not the identical between both styles.
