Tacoma 2024-2026 Toyota 2WD (w/rear leaf springs only) - Bilstein REAR 5160 Series Shock

Bilstein B8 5160 Remote Reservoir Shock Absorber part number 25-349697 is engineered as a direct-fit performance upgrade for 4th Gen Toyota Tacoma 2WD models equipped with lifted suspensions and rear leaf springs. Designed to handle increased suspension travel and harsher operating conditions, this shock delivers consistent damping performance, improved control, and long-term durability on- and off-road.

The B8 5160 features a monotube gas-pressure design paired with an external remote reservoir, significantly increasing oil capacity and cooling efficiency compared to traditional shocks. This remote reservoir helps reduce heat buildup and damping fade during extended off-road use, high-speed terrain, or heavy load conditions. Velocity-sensitive digressive valving is precisely tuned by Bilstein for the Colorado platform, allowing the shock to react smoothly to small bumps while maintaining firm control over larger impacts.

For installation flexibility and a clean, low-profile appearance, the shock is equipped with a 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting and a billet aluminum reservoir mount. This design allows proper hose routing while maintaining clearance and protection in demanding environments. With increased wheel travel, fade-free performance, and rugged construction, the Bilstein B8 5160 is a purpose-built solution for Colorado owners who demand reliable performance in the harshest off-road conditions.
