Bilstein B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorbers are designed to be used on custom off-road vehicles in order to achieve the desired ride of your light truck or SUV. These high gas pressure monotube shock absorbers are sold by various lengths and valve rates to accommodate a wide range of uses and custom applications. All B8 5165 shock absorbers come equipped with 5/8 inch eyelets with hour glass bushings on both ends. The remote reservoir will offer increased cooling capacity and wheel travel to optimize overall performance compared to a traditional shock absorber. Each shock absorber is fitted with a unique 360 degree swivel banjo hose fitting, providing a clean, low profile installation. B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorbers will increase overall durability of your custom vehicle allowing you to conquer the harshest of off-road environments.

Notes:

• It's recommended to replace shock or strut in pairs (passenger and driver side at the same time).

Features:

• Bilstein's industry leading monotube design
• Remote reservoir dramatically increases shock oil capacity for even greater heat dissipation and damping sensitivity
• Special sivel banjo fittings on the reservoir hose allow for 360° of rotation
• For increased wheel travel and more shaft movement, the "floating” dividing piston is located in the reservoir
• Zinc finish with multi-layer unique BILSTEIN coating for extreme protection
• Includes reservoir mounting kit and detailed instructions

Mono-tube Upside-Down Technology. The original and best: The original mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers bore the BILSTEIN name, and we're still responsible for producing the best there is. Bilstein's mono-tube technology is the number-one choice in motorsports and series-production sports cars: no other type gives engineers the same freedom to choose the perfect installation location or position (e.g. Upside-Down technology).

Gas Pressure Technology. Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by BILSTEIN has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.

Road-Tested by Bilstein. To achieve that celebrated BILSTEIN driving experience, BILSTEIN engineers rely on not only technology that is truly at the cutting edge, but also something that has withstood the test of time: how it feels to the driver. As a result, all of Bilstein high-performance absorbers, as well as Bilstein sport suspensions and threaded ride height adjustable kits, undergo a rigorous testing programme. On the Nürburgring and in Bilstein own test centre at the Papenburg test track, Bilstein drivers test how balanced the driving characteristics of various vehicles are in a variety of different driving situations. Only when they have passed this programme of tests with distinction are they allowed to bear the BILSTEIN name. This way, Bilstein can guarantee that celebrated BILSTEIN driving experience.
