Product Description
The BILSTEIN 25-311792 5160 Series Shock Absorber is a premium front suspension upgrade engineered for 2005-2016 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty 4WD trucks equipped with a 0–2.5 inch lift. Built for diesel performance, towing, and off-road durability, this shock delivers exceptional control, stability, and ride quality in demanding conditions.
Featuring Bilstein’s advanced 46mm monotube gas pressure design combined with a remote reservoir, this shock increases oil capacity and cooling efficiency. The result is consistent, fade-free damping even under heavy towing, off-road abuse, or extended highway driving.
