Bilstein B8 5160 Remote Reservoir Rear Shock Absorber – 2011–2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD

Conquer the harshest off-road environments with the Bilstein B8 5160 Remote Reservoir Rear Shock Absorber — engineered as a direct-fit solution for lifted 2011–2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks. The B8 5160 combines Bilstein's proven monotube shock technology with a remote reservoir for increased oil capacity, superior heat dissipation, and extended wheel travel — delivering consistent, fade-free performance where a traditional shock absorber falls short. Velocity-sensitive digressive valving is tuned specifically for the Silverado HD application, providing a compliant ride on the street and firm, controlled damping when the terrain demands it.

Key Features

• Remote Reservoir – Increased Cooling & Wheel Travel: Remote reservoir provides increased oil capacity for superior heat dissipation and extended wheel travel compared to a traditional shock absorber — essential for lifted truck applications and sustained off-road use where heat buildup causes conventional shocks to fade
• Monotube Construction – Fade-Free Performance: Monotube design delivers consistent, fade-free damping performance under the most demanding conditions — superior to twintube designs for high-heat, high-cycle off-road applications
• Velocity-Sensitive Digressive Valving: Digressive valve settings tuned specifically for the Silverado HD application — compliant and comfortable at low shaft speeds for everyday driving, firm and controlled at high shaft speeds for off-road impacts and aggressive terrain
• 360° Swivel Banjo Hose Fitting: Unique 360° swivel banjo hose fitting allows the reservoir hose to be routed cleanly regardless of installation orientation — a clean, professional installation on any Silverado HD lift configuration
• Billet Reservoir Mount: Attractive billet reservoir mount provides a clean, low-profile installation — secure reservoir positioning with a premium appearance
• Direct-Fit Lifted Truck Application: Engineered as a direct-fit solution for lifted 2011–2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks — verify lift height compatibility for your specific application before ordering
• Bilstein Quality: Manufactured by Bilstein — a globally recognized leader in shock absorber technology trusted by OEM manufacturers and off-road racers worldwide
