The remote reservoir helps the shock handle extended off-road driving and heavy-duty use, while the monotube construction supports stable response over changing terrain. Part number 25-311914 is engineered for the rear position on Ram 2500 models equipped without air leveling suspension, making it a direct-fit option for owners looking to restore or improve rear suspension control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Bilstein B8 5160 part number 25-311914 is part of the brand’s truck-focused shock line, built for applications that demand more cooling capacity and wheel travel than a standard shock absorber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-end bounce or instability on a Ram 2500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcess heat buildup during off-road or heavy-duty driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced damping consistency on rough roads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed for improved wheel travel on lifted suspension setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn rear shock absorber replacement on 2014-2025 Ram 2500 trucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify rear fitment before ordering: Fits 2014-2025 Ram 2500, rear, without air leveling suspension.
