The Bilstein B8 5165 16.3in Travel Remote Reservoir Shock is engineered for custom off-road builds that demand maximum suspension performance, improved cooling, and increased wheel travel. Designed for light trucks and SUVs, this high gas pressure monotube shock delivers consistent damping, enhanced durability, and superior control across rough terrain.
Each B8 5165 shock features 5/8-inch eyelets with hourglass bushings on both ends for secure mounting and long-term reliability. The remote reservoir increases oil capacity for improved heat dissipation, helping maintain fade-free performance during aggressive off-road use. A unique 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting ensures a clean, low-profile installation that works well with a wide range of custom setups.
Built to thrive in harsh environments, the B8 5165 series enhances suspension travel, stability, and overall ride quality—making it a trusted upgrade for off-road enthusiasts and custom vehicle builders.
