It fits a wide range of full-size 4WD platforms: the GMT800-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban 1500, and Avalanche 1500, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL 1500 (2000-2006), plus Dodge Ram 1500 (2006-2008), Ram 2500 (1994-2013), and Ram 3500 (1994-2012) - all in 4WD configuration. The 46mm monotube design provides the permanent gas-to-fluid separation needed for consistent, fade-free performance, while the remote reservoir takes thermal management well beyond what a traditional monotube shock can handle, sustaining full damping output on long, demanding off-road runs where conventional shocks overheat and fade. A floating dividing piston in the reservoir also delivers increased wheel travel and shaft movement versus a standard monotube.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Velocity-sensitive digressive valving is tuned specifically for these vehicle applications, instantly adapting to changing road conditions for precise control whether you're running a loaded bed on washboard roads, navigating rocky trails, or towing at the edge of rated capacity. The 360-degree swivel banjo fitting keeps reservoir hose routing clean, and the included mounting hardware allows a direct bolt-on installation at OEM locations. An optional billet aluminum reservoir clamp (Bilstein #11-176015) is available separately for a more refined reservoir mounting. Sold individually - two units are required for a complete rear axle installation. This shock is non-side-specific and fits either the driver or passenger side. Made in the USA, backed by Bilstein's 90-Day Limited Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bilstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53190710362431,"sku":"BIL25-311761","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/7308\/9343\/files\/671d230da249ee5c6e2d0544a92db45bL.jpg?v=1779929219","url":"https:\/\/wcaperformance.com\/products\/bilstein-b8-5160-series-00-06-suburban-1500-rear-shock-absorber","provider":"WCA Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
