At Yotamasters, we understand what it takes to build a Toyota that thrives both on the pavement and in the dirt. Suspension isn’t just a bolt-on upgrade, it's the backbone of your rig’s capability. That’s why we proudly offer the Bilstein 5125 Series Shocks, a must-have for Toyota owners who demand top-tier performance, extended travel, and durability that can withstand the toughest terrain.
Whether you're building a long-travel rig or just want better ride quality for your weekend overland adventures, our Bilstein shocks deliver the precision and performance you need to get the most out of every mile.
Performance You Can Trust
When it comes to off-road suspension, long-travel shocks are an essential component of a flexible and capable system. Factory shocks are built for mild, everyday driving but if you're lifting your Toyota, hitting technical trails, or adding aftermarket gear, those OEM shocks will fall short fast.
Bilstein shocks are world-renowned for their quality, performance, and legendary reliability. The 5125 Series is specifically designed for custom suspension setups, giving you the freedom to dial in the right shock length for your build.
Key reasons to choose Bilstein 5125 Shocks:
-
Perfect for long-travel suspension systems
-
Superior ride quality on and off-road
-
Consistent damping control in rough terrain
-
Built to handle the added weight of overlanding gear and upgrades
-
Proven durability under extreme use
This is the go-to solution when you want professional-grade performance without diving into overly complicated suspension systems.
Package Contents
Every Bilstein 5125 shock we sell includes:
-
One Bilstein 5125 Series Shock (choose from 10", 12", or 14" stroke lengths)
-
Pre-installed rubber bushings (additional bushings may be required for certain applications)
-
Zinc-plated finish for maximum corrosion resistance
-
Detailed installation instructions
Please note: Shocks are sold individually. Be sure to order the quantity needed for your specific build.
Built For You
If you’re wondering whether these shocks are right for you, here’s who benefits the most:
-
Toyota owners running suspension lifts or long-travel setups who need extended shock travel for proper articulation.
-
Off-roaders who tackle rocky, muddy, or high-speed desert trails and want consistent damping under load.
-
Overlanders who load their trucks with roof racks, campers, or heavy gear and need shocks that can support the added weight without sacrificing ride quality.
-
Toyota enthusiasts modify their suspension with custom configurations, piecing together lifts, or seeking a reliable, non-application-specific shock.
Key Features and Benefits
The Bilstein 5125 Series Shocks are loaded with features designed to outperform stock and many aftermarket alternatives. Here’s why this upgrade makes sense for your Toyota:
1. Long Travel Stroke Options
Available in 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch stroke lengths, the Bilstein 5125 Series Shocks provide the extended travel range essential for custom lift setups, ensuring your suspension performs as hard as you do on the trail. The 10-inch stroke option features an extended length of 25.93 inches and a collapsed length of 15.91 inches. The 12-inch stroke extends to 29.70 inches and collapses to 17.91 inches, while the 14-inch stroke reaches a full extension of 34.90 inches and compresses down to 20.75 inches. These travel options allow you to fine-tune your suspension for maximum articulation, stability, and ride comfort on any terrain.
2. 255/70 Valving
This precise valving configuration is tuned to provide a perfect balance between comfort on the highway and control in demanding off-road conditions. It ensures smooth compression and firm rebound when you need it most.
3. Zinc-Plated Finish
Off-road conditions are tough on suspension components. The zinc plating adds an extra layer of corrosion resistance, protecting your investment from mud, water, and road salt.
4. Monotube Gas Pressure Technology
This design maintains consistent performance by eliminating shock fade, keeping your ride predictable and smooth even after miles of punishing terrain.
5. Universal Fitment
These shocks are not application-specific, making them ideal for custom suspension setups. However, proper measurement and fitment are critical. If you’re unsure, refer to the provided stroke length chart or consult with our team.
Important Fitment Notes
If you’re fitting these shocks to the rear of a 1984-2004 Toyota Pickup or a leaf-spring-equipped 4Runner with stock mounts, the bushings will need to be replaced with specific shock bushings for proper fitment. It’s a simple modification, but an important one to ensure longevity and correct installation.
These shocks are versatile but require accurate measurements to match them to your build. Use the travel length chart as a guide, or reach out to us for fitment assistance.
