Suspension Shock Absorber Rear Right Monotube Toyota Tacoma 2004-1996 B8 5160 Bilstein

The Bilstein B8 5160 is a rear right monotube remote reservoir shock built specifically for lifted 4WD applications on the 1996–2004 Toyota Tacoma — including SR5, Pre Runner (1998–2004), and Limited (1998–2000) trims. This is the shock for trucks running 0–1.5 inches of rear lift that need more than a standard shock can deliver.

The remote reservoir is the key differentiator here. It adds cooling capacity and extends wheel travel over a conventional monotube, which directly translates to more consistent damping on repeated hard hits. The 46mm piston and 14mm shaft are built for durability, and the velocity-sensitive digressive valving is tuned specifically for this application — not a one-size-fits-all setup. With 8.23 inches of stroke travel, a collapsed length of 13.43 inches, and an extended length of 21.78 inches, the fitment geometry is dialed in.

Installation stays clean thanks to the 360-degree swivel banjo hose fitting, and the billet reservoir clamp is included — no hunting for hardware. Upper and lower mounts are both 19mm eye-style for a straightforward swap. Zinc-plated finish handles the exposure that comes with off-road use.

Bilstein backs this with a limited lifetime warranty. If you're building a lifted 4WD first-gen or second-gen Tacoma for serious off-road use, this shock delivers the damping performance and durability the build demands.
