Bilstein 8112 DSA+ Overview & Install on our Tacoma
So what's the deal with all these knobs? @bilsteinUS offers the 8112 series shock with position sensitive damping via 3 compression zones and 2 rebound zones, controlled by 3 independent pistons... add in their adjustable Jounce Cut Off (JCO) internal bump stop and they have achieved one of the most well-rounded and well-balanced high performance suspension packages to date; combining comfortable on-road ride quality with impressive control off-road.
What's that all mean and how does this work? Tune in to find out.
We've experienced these shocks before on other platforms including the Wrangler and Tundra. Now it's time to full send it with testing them on our own Tacoma. Jump on that subscribe button, our full in depth review will be coming soon!

Bought the 8112 and 8100’s from you March 2021 have about 20,000 miles now. Worth the money ride is amazing especially on road. Do have Deaver springs with the shocks too both make a huge difference

Love to hear it!
You got to change these worn out body mounts on that Tacoma... you'll be amazed how the ride will be improved especially when combined with the 8112/8100. Use poly bushings so the body and frame will better react together with the suspension and not trying to fight each others "shock waves". I'm in the same business as you, I know you will like the improvement. Thanks for the video.
yeah, these look fully sick, but the internet doesn't show these shocks anywhere?

I cant wait to hear the driving review on these. Im holding out to pick up a set of these for my GX460. Been waiting forever for Bilstein to release the DSA+ version. It will be interesting to hear your feedback on the rear lift height. That was one of my biggest concerns as Im running Dobinsons 329 rear springs that have me higher than the 1.5" Bilstein recommends.

so far they're fantastic and can do everything extremely well. Its been the rear that needs tuning in order to keep up with the front.
Sounds like the 8100 bypass are designed to work perfectly with Deaver 66 springs right out of the box…
Those are sick! I have fox 2.5 non resi and they have honestly been riding like garbage lol. I think I must have too much preload. Only thing I can think of. Feel everything on the road, dives into holes rather than floating over them

You could probably use a re-tune, we've heard those aren't very forgiving, and aimed at a more aggressive offroad driver, not necessarily for street comfort. Hit us up
I have a 2012 Tacoma, im trying to get 3inches in the front. Any suggestions on which coil over to run. My tires and wheel set up is bfg 285/70r17 on the fj cruiser 17” wheels.

Everyone keeps saying soon. I asked Bilstein back at the end of 2023 and they were just releasing the updated rears with clickers and new coating; along with fronts with new coating BUT not DSA+. I was told from Bilstein sometime in 2024 for the updated front DSA+.

They do not...BUT...call Bilstein and beg for universal Zone Control shocks. There is a decent amount of people asking for it. I know Ian at Wheel Every Weekend has been begging Bilstein to make them. So if everyone keeps calling Bilstein and asking for it I know they will make it happen. Might take them 2-4 years to launch it but it will happen :)
