The Bilstein B8 5160 Rear 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber for the 2007–2017 Jeep Wrangler and 2018 Wrangler JK is engineered as a direct‑fit, high‑performance upgrade for lifted Jeeps. Designed with an external remote reservoir, the B8 5160 delivers increased cooling capacity, improved wheel travel, and consistent damping performance across rough terrain and long-distance off-road driving.
Each shock features Bilstein’s proven velocity‑sensitive digressive valving, tuned specifically for the Wrangler platform to provide a smooth on‑road ride and confident off‑road control. The 46mm monotube design ensures fade‑free performance, while the remote reservoir increases oil volume for better heat dissipation during aggressive use.
A unique 360° swivel banjo hose fitting and billet reservoir mount (where applicable) allow for a clean, low‑profile installation. Built for durability and reliability, the B8 5160 is designed to help your Wrangler tackle harsh terrain with confidence.
