Bilstein's 25-331691 is a B8 5165 shock absorber. It uses Bilstein's monotube construction, which keeps the gas and oil separated so damping stays consistent under sustained use. A remote reservoir adds oil capacity for heat control on rough or loaded use.
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.
