I think you guys need to talk to some tire manufacturers and have a rep come sit down and explain things to you guys. Not every e rated tire gets pumped up to 85psi. There are load range e tires that have a 55psi max. Different load range tires require different pressures to carry the same load. You cannot simply go off of the door jam for every single tire out there. For example, a load range E ko2 will actually have less load capacity than the factory p tire you're replacing it with on a 4runner when under inflated to the door jam spec. You guys talk about blown out shocks being dangerous then tell people to underinflate their tires so your shock feels better. That's even more dangerous than blown out shocks.

Spends 30+ minutes repeating the same complaint rather than actually putting data and education into the podcast. Show examples, what’s the tire spring rate of a C vs E? at 18 PSI, 40 PSI, at max pressure? What’s the piston max accel difference between a P and LT? P series also has load ratings … P235/40R19 96V has an extended load rating of 96, meaning it’s similar to an LT in that it has a reinforced carcass / sidewall. C / E / F are all relative to the tire pressure, not the actual load it can take. An LT245/70R16 F rating won’t hold the load that an LT315/70R17 C will. Deeper info, less complaining about dumb customers, leverage your data to inform.

Comparing this shock to a 4 corner coil, bypass and bump setup is a ridiculous claim. IDK guys, ya had me until that statement.

Looks cool guys. I remember when we spoke about these at the SSSS a few years back. The JCO is cool, will that be adjustable for some of us that might want to extend or reduce those zones?

8112 for GM 19+ when?

I have 37's on my Bronco. No problems, zero rubbing...

Would the B4's be able handle a moderate lowering of 25-30mm as im looking for a better stance on my car while not sacrificing the softer ride characteristics, Or would the B8's be mandatory in any lowered application?. Also does using lowering springs with the B4 have a negative effect on the life of the shock ?

Lol dents in the broncos body? No....its not a Toyota guys

Yes give ford love. So tired of Toyotas getting all the love

No more quick disconnect reservoirs on the broncos you say?

So will there ever be a 8112? like with out the DSA or the + ?

I would buy a set for my 200 series in a heartbeat!

These guys aware that tens of thousands of broncos are already on the road and people are looking to upgrade their suspension that already had 37s. I feel like this was a miss by the Bilstein team, they should have developed this shock to work with 37s as well. So what's the solution for people that have 37s that don't want to limit travel, body lift? Can you put in spacers in conjunction with these shocks?

I couldn’t wait longer and had to buy something else for my 4Runner!

Im debating between the b6 and b8 on my 2016 crosstrek, I have a 2 inch lift already what would you recommend?

I just want to use my Bronco as it is with 35’s and get after it. These are perfect!

Thanks for putting these videos out there, they are very informative and I have learned tons from y'all. I don't know that it is always advisable to use the tire pressure on the door sticker when going from stock P-metric tires to LT-metric or LT Flotation. I went from a P275/55R20 111H to a LT275/65R20 126/123S E. In my case, I continued to use the pressure that was on the sticker and the shoulders of all 4 tires wore quickly. I found Toyo's 'Application of Load Inflations' recommended about 10 more PSI of pressure. Although 'ride quality' is a highly subjective topic, I can say that the LT tires sure do help make the whole truck ride way bumpier.

Good warmup for the 4runner DSA+ reveal 😅😅😅

Love it guys! Excited to upgrade the stock ESCV’s. They definitely fade a tad when party mode is engaged.

Great 4Runner video lol😂

Time to pick up a Bronco. But what about the 4Runner? Or the 2024 Tacoma?

Hope you can give me advice. I own a 2017 Mazda 3. Because I prefer spirited driving around corners, I lowered the car with Eibach. My experience with my VW UP with that setup was satisfying, however the bumpstops rear still had work to do... Now at 100.000km one rear shock of the Mazda leaked. After some thinking I thought it might be not such a good idea to mount B8 dampers in the rear so I mounted B4's. I know that's not the preferred setup with lowering springs. Reason: I also own an UP GTI on which I mounted a B14 kit and... sitting in the back is unbearable. No comfort left at all but on flat roads and corners it's perfect as long as I sit alone in the car. My MX 5 has a Bilstein (yellow factory shocks that are said to be not B6 or B8) with Eibach setup, and that fits perfectly for road use but... no-one ever sits in a rear seat. Now I want to replace the front shocks on the Mazda 3 because the B4 on the rear axis feels so much better than the standard TOKICO dampers. And with 100.000km they might be end of life anyway. But what would you advice... The car has Eibach springs 1" shorter) so B8 should be it, but will there be some comfort left in this 'family' car? Will B4 introduce underdamped behaviour?

mhu for a collab, I have something in mind for bilstein

Could not agree more with this. It all comes down to the right tool for the job. Why sacrifice ride and lug around rotational mass when it’s not needed.

Have a 4Runner KDSS with Wildpeak LT 265/70 17 tire for overlanding/off-roading. My ride is good and suspension works well, doesn’t fill stiff at 44psi on highway not loaded. Wildpeak says 44psi cold. Noise is minimal. Don’t understand bad ride comments. Does not run terrible. Happy. However, going to upgrade my suspension. 6112 and 8100 bypass, new rear springs. Most of added weight in rear. Hopefully will ride better when fully loaded. Also upgrading brakes. Will get back after upgrades. Main comment, runs great on highway for hours when empty. Strongly disagree with comment no E rated tires for 4Runner.

Is it time to start talking about universal shocks with the zone control stuff yet...? please?

Tough watch. Let the guy on the left talk. He’s the only one accurately describing anything

Is the “Ford Performance tuned” Bilstein F150 package just this setup with some different stickers on it?

So here’s the million dollar question. Highway driving and some dirt in case want smooth on both surfaces. No bounce, no rigid

Love my B8s!

Great video sis....

🔥🙌Keep rocking 🤘 Ashley

my fave subie owner

Yesss!!! Out there representing Ashley and paving the way! So proud of you!

Very nice!! Love your sense of exploration!!

I know a famous person now!!

You’ve inspired me to make upgrades and go exploring.

So the B8 lift more than the B6? We had B6 on our Highlader. was a huge improvement

I personally received great customer service with my JT 8100s and thank you for supporting your partners in the industry. Keep up the good work! P.S. I know the perfect guy to prototype some aluminum body 8100s if they come to fruition 😉.

Great job! Shock Warehouse left me high and dry but Joseph Smith at Bilstein customer took care of me. Give that man a RAISE!

Great subject to cover. Thanks guys

Hi im curious if a 5100 is made that would work with a Audi Q7 on spring suspension with a eurowise lift.

I agree with Luna on power plant. LS is awesome for cool kid points. But when I do my swap it will be to a 2.8 Cummins.

Luna you are correct! Suzuki Samurais are cool 😎

Thanks for the ❤ guys. We love wheeling with you and always appreciate the continued support for our business.

🤘2 door life!

What a wonderful couple! Very much disagree on the opinion of the car show/ meets tho. A lot of us just can’t go wheeling every weekend whether it’s a scheduling or financial thing but still like to go hang out with like minded enthusiasts and make new friends or contacts. I’ve met some very interesting friends/contacts over the years at some of these gatherings.

I put the 6112 I'm 5160 on my 2024 ram I love them but I think I might be stepping it up to to Carli suspension looking for something more aggressive

Nerding out on these podcasts 😂 I'm confused on the 5125 You say its linear, but it states digressive on the web site. Is it linear piston with digressive tune, or just linear all together?

Hello, looking to find out when the new terrace sport V8 upgrade shock and strut will be available for the 5th generation Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. Thank you
