The 25-176124 features a 9.5-inch stroke, 160\/58 compression and rebound valving, 14.21-inch collapsed length, and 23.60-inch extended length, with 5\/8-inch eyelet mounts on both ends for universal coilover and non-stock mounting location applications. The B8 5165 Series uses Bilstein's nitrogen-infused 46mm monotube design with a remote reservoir that dramatically increases oil capacity, heat dissipation, and wheel travel compared to a standard shock absorber body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25-176124 remote reservoir is connected via a high-pressure 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting that allows clean, low-profile installation in tight mounting configurations. The floating dividing piston is located inside the reservoir rather than the shock body, eliminating any restriction on piston travel for maximum wheel travel and shock sensitivity. Bilstein finishes the 25-176124 with a zinc-plated body for long-term corrosion resistance in off-road environments. A reservoir mounting kit is included in the box. The 25-176124 is sold individually and designed for custom applications where the builder specifies the correct shock length for their suspension geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e25-176124 Key Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eB8 5165 Series remote reservoir monotube off-road shock absorber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e46mm body diameter with 14mm piston shaft for maximum durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9.5-inch stroke, 23.60-inch extended length, 14.21-inch collapsed length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e160\/58 valving configuration (compression\/rebound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemote reservoir dramatically increases oil capacity and heat dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFloating dividing piston in reservoir for maximum wheel travel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e360-degree swivel banjo fitting for clean, flexible installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-inch eyelet mounts, top and bottom, with hourglass bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated body finish for off-road corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReservoir mounting kit included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for custom non-stock shock mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25-176124\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBilstein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB8 5165 Remote Reservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShaft Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExtended Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.60 in (599.5mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCollapsed Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.21 in (361.0mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTravel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.39 in (238.5mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160\/58 (Compression\/Rebound)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMount Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye to Eye\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpper Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye 5\/8 in with Hourglass Bushings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLower Mount\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEye 5\/8 in with Hourglass Bushings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMonotube, Non-Adjustable Valving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReservoir\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, Remote with 360-Degree Swivel Banjo Fitting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc Plated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoot Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNitrogen Charged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUniversal, Custom Application\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBilstein Limited Lifetime Warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e651860661155\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Bilstein 25-176124 B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReservoir mounting kit (bracket hardware)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25-176124 is designed for custom non-stock mounting location applications on lifted trucks and SUVs. The builder is responsible for verifying that this shock length is correct for their specific suspension geometry before purchase. Collapsed and extended lengths must be verified against the actual suspension travel and mounting dimensions of the custom application. The reservoir can be positioned and secured using the included mounting kit. Bilstein recommends professional installation for custom off-road suspension builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Bilstein 25-176124 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 25-176124 is a universal application B8 5165 Series remote reservoir shock designed for custom off-road vehicles, lifted trucks, and SUVs running non-stock mounting locations. It is sold by length and valving rate for builders who spec the correct shock length for their custom suspension geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the 5160 and 5165 series?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe B8 5160 is designed for lifted trucks and SUVs using stock factory shock mounting locations. The 25-176124 belongs to the B8 5165 Series, which is designed for custom applications with non-stock mounting locations and greater variability in stroke and valving options. The 5165 offers a wider range of lengths and valve configurations for purpose-built off-road and competition setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the 25-176124 have a remote reservoir?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe remote reservoir dramatically increases the total volume of shock oil in the system. More oil means greater capacity to absorb and dissipate heat generated during sustained off-road use, which prevents the fluid aeration and damping fade that limits the performance of standard body shocks in demanding terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the floating dividing piston in the reservoir do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLocating the dividing piston in the reservoir rather than the shock body removes all restrictions on piston travel within the shock itself, allowing the full bore of the 46mm body to serve as the working cylinder. This increases wheel travel and improves damping sensitivity across the full stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 25-176124 come with a reservoir mounting bracket?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. A reservoir mounting kit is included with the 25-176124. An optional billet aluminum reservoir clamp (part number 11-176015) is available separately for a cleaner, more compact installation look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 25-176124 adjustable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The 25-176124 uses non-adjustable valving. If adjustable damping is needed for the application, Bilstein's adjustable off-road shock series should be considered instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty on the Bilstein 25-176124?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 25-176124 is covered by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. As a suspension component, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides federal consumer protections ensuring that the use of quality aftermarket parts does not void unrelated vehicle warranty coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWARNING:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product can expose you to chemicals which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
