Bilstein B8 5160 Shock Absorber for Nissan TITAN

The Bilstein B8 5160 suspension shock absorber (part number 25-286151) is engineered to provide reliable damping performance for Nissan TITAN trucks. Designed with a monotube internal structure and zinc-plated finish, this shock absorber offers durability and consistent handling under various driving conditions.

• Monotube internal design for efficient heat dissipation and consistent damping
• 46mm smooth body diameter (non-coilover) for a robust build
• Includes a remote reservoir for improved fluid capacity and cooling
• Non-adjustable damping for straightforward, maintenance-free operation
• Eye 14mm upper and lower mounts for secure fitment
• Collapsed length: 14.96 inches (380 mm); Extended length: 24.77 inches (629.2 mm)
• Zinc plated finish to resist corrosion and extend service life

The Bilstein B8 5160 series is designed specifically for trucks and SUVs requiring enhanced suspension travel and improved off-road capability. This product line features monotube shocks with remote reservoirs that increase fluid volume and reduce shock fade during demanding driving conditions. The 25-286151 shock absorber fits Nissan TITAN models, providing a balance of ride comfort and control without adjustable damping complexity.

Key Features and Specifications

This Bilstein shock absorber features a smooth body design with a 46mm diameter, optimized for durability and performance. The monotube internal design ensures consistent damping by allowing better heat dissipation compared to twin-tube shocks. The remote reservoir increases fluid capacity, which helps maintain shock performance during extended use. Both upper and lower mounts use 14mm eyelets for secure attachment to the Nissan TITAN suspension system. The zinc-plated finish protects the shock from corrosion, extending its operational life.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Improves handling and stability on Nissan TITAN trucks during on- and off-road driving
• Reduces shock fade under heavy load or extended driving conditions
• Addresses suspension wear and tear by providing consistent damping performance
• Enhances ride quality by smoothing out rough terrain and road imperfections
• Supports vehicles with lifted or modified suspensions requiring extended travel shocks

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with Nissan TITAN models before installation. The shock absorber mounts with 14mm eyelets on both ends, so verify that mounting points are free of damage or excessive wear. Since this is a non-adjustable shock, no damping tuning is necessary. It is recommended to replace shocks in pairs to maintain balanced suspension performance. Professional installation is advised to ensure proper torque specifications and alignment.
