Its remote reservoir increases cooling capacity and available wheel travel, helping maintain consistent performance during demanding off-road use. The zinc-plated smooth-body construction is designed for durability in harsh environments, while the application-specific tuning supports controlled handling and improved suspension response.\u003cbr\u003eThe 46mm monotube design delivers consistent, fade-resistant damping across changing conditions. Bilstein’s velocity-sensitive digressive valving is tuned for the specific vehicle application, providing responsive control over rough terrain without sacrificing road manners. The remote reservoir configuration also helps manage heat during extended use, making this shock absorber well suited for drivers who expect reliable performance on trails and uneven surfaces.\u003cbr\u003eThis Bilstein B8 5160 shock features a 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting for flexible installation and includes a billet reservoir clamp for a clean, low-profile mounting solution. It uses a non-adjustable damping design, a 14mm shaft, a 16mm eye upper mount, and a stem-style lower mount. The shock has an 8.57-inch stroke, a 16.00-inch collapsed length, and a 24.57-inch extended length. It is designed for select Mercedes-Benz G-Class applications, including the 2004 G500 and G55 AMG, as well as 2005-2018 G500 and G550 models. Professional installation and verification of vehicle fitment are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e46mm monotube design provides consistent, fade-resistant performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eRemote reservoir increases cooling capacity and suspension travel\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eVelocity-sensitive digressive valving is tuned for the specific application\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eBillet reservoir clamp included for secure, low-profile installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting supports flexible installation\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated smooth-body construction is built for off-road durability\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNon-adjustable damping design with 14mm shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e16mm eye upper mount and stem-style lower mount\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e8.57-inch stroke with a 16.00-inch collapsed length and 24.57-inch extended length\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFits select 2004-2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class models\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet Reservoir Clamp Included: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Mount Type: Stem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiston Diameter: 46mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: B8 5160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapsed Length (Mm): 406.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSegment: Light Truck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper Mount Type: Eye 16mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoot Included: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStroke\/Travel Length (Mm): 217.7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParttype: Shocks \/ Struts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring Seat Included: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal Design: Monotube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaft Diameter: 14mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody Design: Smooth Body (Non-Coilover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Damping: Non-Adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Zinc Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Length (Mm): 624.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended Length (In): 24.57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReservoir: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStroke\/Travel Length (In): 8.57\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollapsed Length (In): 16.00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: 25-312157\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2002-2008 Mercedes-Benz G500 – Base – Fits Vehicles With 0-2\" Front Lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2003-2011 Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG – Base – Fits Vehicles With 0-2\" Front Lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2009-2015 Mercedes-Benz G550 – Base – Fits Vehicles With 0-2\" Front Lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2016-2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 – Base – Fits Vehicles With 0-2\" Front Lift; Without Electronic Suspension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm - www.P65Warnings.ca.gov\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bilstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67771390558317,"sku":"25312157","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8458\/2509\/files\/image_generic_02_f16f2bcf-c30a-4f05-8cda-f55c2d63e7a1.jpg?v=1792221938","url":"https:\/\/truckarmy.com\/products\/bilstein-b8-5160-remote-reservoir-shock-absorber-25-312157","provider":"Truck Army","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
