BILSTEIN 5160 stock mount remote reservoir shocks are a direct-fit for your lifted truck, Jeep or SUV—no cutting or welding required.
The installation went well with the instructions that were provided. The ride is noticeable better only time will tell if the shocks will continue to perform as well as in the reviews that I read. I am very happy with the results so far.
Great product and install went smooth. Great work by the 4wheelparts guys!!!
This kit may have cost more but I’m sure it’s going to b well worth the money. It’s nothing like a standard leveling kit
Far better then the stock z71 Rancho shocks. Instead of shuttering and skipping around when you hit a bump, these 5160s just absorb the impact and make you feel more connected to the road. They are still a stiff suspension so you won’t get that “Cadillac feel”, but I guarantee it is far better then the stock z71 Ranchos and these will last a long time while still maintaining towing capabilities. Also the additional articulation you get out of the 5160s due to the remote reservoir holding the piston instead of the main shock body is a dramatic difference off road.
The 5160's are great shocks, shipped fast and free, got a coupon code online and even saved some money for other truck stuff.
Great shocks for the money! I combined with Coach builder shackles in the rear for almost 2” Lift. Also used Bilstein 6112 and shins for 3” lift in the front.
Q: Are these for the left side only? Or can they be used on the left or the right? If not, what is the right hand side part number? Answer this question
A: They did say drivers/passenger sides on the labels. Â I could not find any difference at all besides the name on the sticker would be upside down. Â

A: This is the driver side rear only. For the passenger side, you would need part number BIL25-242539 https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/bilstein-5160-series-reservoir-shock-absorber-25-242539/_/R-BBGL-25-242539
