Product Details

The Bilstein B8 5160 line is focused on lifted truck and SUV suspension setups that need more control than a standard shock absorber can provide. This front right shock uses a monotube layout and remote reservoir to help manage temperature during extended use, while the digressive valve settings are matched to the Land Cruiser application for predictable response on pavement and uneven terrain. For Toyota Land Cruiser owners, part number 25-275124 offers a direct-fit solution for the specified front right position.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce on lifted Toyota Land Cruiser suspension setups
• Shock fade during repeated compression and rebound cycles
• Reduced wheel travel from an undersized or worn OE-style shock
• Heat buildup in demanding off-road driving conditions
• Loose or inconsistent front-right damping response

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1998-2005 Toyota Land Cruiser, front right, for vehicles with 0-2.5" front lift. Compatible With 2006-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser, front right, without Active Height Control Suspension. Verify mount style, lift height, and suspension configuration before installation. The 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting supports a cleaner reservoir hose routing and lower-profile packaging in tight suspension areas.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B8 5160 shocks are built with a monotube design, tuned valving, and a remote reservoir layout to support consistent performance in demanding suspension applications. Part number 25-275124 is part of the Bilstein Shock Absorbers lineup.
