The Bilstein B8 5165 Series Shock Absorbers are premium upgrades engineered to boost the suspension performance of specialty and modified vehicles. These shock absorbers integrate a nitrogen-infused 46mm monotube design with a floating dividing piston that appropriately separates gas and oil for reliable fade-free performance. The added remote reservoir grants increased travel and reliable cooling. These shocks feature a zinc-plated finish for superb corrosion resistance and improved durability against the elements, while the increased oil capacity improves heat dissipation to promote the longevity of the shocks.

The Bilstein B8 5165 Series Shock Absorbers feature an exclusive digressive valving to allow quick adaptation to changing driving conditions, ensuring a stable and comfortable driving experience anywhere you go. These shocks are available in stem-to-eye and eye-to-eye mounting configurations to fit different setups. They also come in 4.5 to 14.3-inch travel length options to accommodate various applications. Whether it be daily commutes, towing, off-roading, or any other driving application, these shocks are guaranteed to provide a smoother and more enjoyable driving experience.

Starting off as a metal window fitting manufacturer in 1873, Bilstein became involved in the automotive accessories industry in 1928, with Hans Bilstein's newfound knowledge from America. With ample resources poured into research and development, Bilstein succeeded, outfitting the standard production Mercedes-Bens with the first monotube gas pressure shock.
