Bilstein B8 5160 0-1.5″ Rear Shocks for 2023-2025 Chevrolet Colorado

Bilstein B8 5160 Remote Reservoir Rear Shock Absorber – Part #25-336689

Includes 2 Shocks. The Bilstein B8 5160 series is a high-performance, remote reservoir shock absorber designed specifically as a direct-fit upgrade for the 2023-2025 Chevrolet Colorado. Engineered for drivers who demand more from their suspension, these shocks provide enhanced cooling capacity and increased wheel travel compared to traditional monotube designs. Whether you are navigating technical off-road trails or seeking improved stability on the highway, the B8 5160 offers a significant performance boost for vehicles equipped with 0 to 1.5 inches of rear lift.

Product Overview

The Bilstein 25-336689 utilizes a 46mm monotube internal design, which ensures consistent, fade-free performance by preventing aeration even under high-temperature conditions. The standout feature of the 5160 series is the remote reservoir, which increases oil capacity for better heat dissipation. This design is critical for maintaining damping control during extended off-road use. Each shock is equipped with application-specific, velocity-sensitive digressive valving that reacts instantly to changing surface conditions, providing a smooth ride on pavement and firm control in the dirt.

Installation is streamlined via a 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, allowing for a clean, low-profile fitment. This kit includes an attractive billet aluminum reservoir clamp to secure the reservoir to the shock body, ensuring a professional look and durable mounting solution. The zinc-plated finish and included black bellows boot protect the 14mm shaft and internal components from debris and corrosion.

Key Benefits for Off-Road Performance

The Bilstein B8 5160 is more than a standard replacement shock; it is a performance-oriented component designed to increase the overall durability of your Chevrolet Colorado. By moving the gas and oil into a remote reservoir, Bilstein allows for more piston travel within the main shock body. This results in better articulation and the ability to conquer harsh environments without bottoming out or losing damping force.

The digressive valving is tuned specifically for the weight and suspension geometry of the 2023-2025 Colorado. This means the shock can remain stiff during low-speed movements (like cornering on the street) to reduce body roll, while softening instantly during high-speed impacts (like hitting a pothole or a rock) to soak up the energy. This “best of both worlds” tuning is what sets Bilstein apart for daily-driven trucks that see frequent trail use.
