Bilstein B8 5160 - Suspension Shock Absorber (Chevy/GMC)
Upgrade your Chevy or GMC truck with Bilstein B8 5160 shocks — remote reservoir performance for cooling, wheel travel, and off-road durability.
The Bilstein B8 5160 remote reservoir shock absorber is engineered as a direct-fit solution for lifted Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. With its external reservoir, the 5160 offers increased oil capacity for superior cooling and fade-free damping in extreme conditions. Built on Bilstein’s proven monotube design with a 46mm digressive piston, this shock adapts instantly to changing terrain for improved ride quality, handling, and control. Each unit includes a billet reservoir clamp and 360° swivel banjo fitting for a clean, low-profile installation. Zinc plating ensures corrosion resistance, making the B8 5160 ideal for drivers who demand more from their suspension both on-road and off-road.
