The Bilstein 25-311259 B8 5160 Series Rear Shock Absorber is engineered as a direct-fit high-performance upgrade for the Toyota Tacoma 4WD models from 2005 through 2023, designed to work with stock suspension or up to approximately 1.5" of rear lift. Featuring a monotube gas-pressurized design and remote reservoir, this shock improves heat dissipation and wheel travel while minimizing shock fade under demanding off-road conditions. Its velocity-sensitive digressive valving is tuned specifically for the Tacoma's rear dynamics, delivering confident handling and improved stability over uneven terrain.

With a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance and a 360° swivel banjo hose fitting for flexible installation, the 25-311259 installs easily using OE mounting points without modifications. Ideal for Tacoma owners seeking enhanced damping performance, improved wheel control, and reliable off-road durability, this B8 5160 rear shock pairs perfectly with lifted or stock rear suspension setups.
