    Product Details

    B8 5160 Series Rear Monotube Smooth Body Shock Absorber Set for 0"-1.0" Lifted Vehicles (VS-25-316957) by Bilstein®. Quantity: 2 per Pack. B8 5160 remote reservoir shock absorbers are designed as a direct fit solution for lifted trucks and SUV’s. 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, 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.

    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.

    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.

    Mono-tube Upside-Down Technology. The original and best: The original mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers bore the BILSTEIN name, and BILSTEIN is 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).

    Blisten 5160 Toyota Tacoma Rear Shocks
    TRUCKiD delivered them pretty darn quick and they were easy to install with instructions and video link they provided. Ride really well and that extra little cylinder for dampening really helps vs normal one tube shocks. I was missing a package containing one of the top washers and rubber grommets but used one of my old sets seeing that my original shocks were also Blisten. Had not the time to contact them yet but I am sure they will make it good!

    Great Shocks! Great Deal!
    TRUCKiD had the best price and fast delivery. These shocks rock for the price. Huge improvement over the competitors monotube I was running. Top quality finish and fit. Reservoir mount requires a #7 drill which is basically a 13/64th. Worked just fine. Super Happy with this upgrade on my RAM 3500 truck.
