Shock Talk Episode 20: Demystifying the Bilstein B8 8112 (ZoneControl CR) Shocks
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this episode of Shock Talk, hosts Shane, Mike and Junior, take a deep dive into the innovative world of suspension technology with a focus on the Bilstein B8 8112 (ZoneControl CR DSA+) shocks. These shocks aren't just your average dampers - they're equipped with BILSTEIN's revolutionary ZoneControl technology that promises unparalleled comfort and control for light trucks and SUVs.
The guys go over the intricate workings of the ZoneControl CR DSA+ technology, which includes three compression zones and two rebound zones, all controlled by three independent pistons. From the 2-stage telescoping internal compression stop to the secondary rebound stop functionality, they break it down piece-by-piece and demonstrate why these shocks are truly in a league of their own.
If you're thinking about upgrading to a set of B8 8112's, tune in to Shock Talk Episode 20 and discover why these shocks are causing such a stir in the world of suspension.

Build more of them I've been waiting for months
when will the DSA+ be release for the GX460?
When will the 8112 be available for the 2nd gen Tundra with factory height settings?
My taco is pretty heavy with steel bumpers, full steel skids, winch and sliders. Would the spring that comes with the 8112 dsa+ be too soft for my application or should i be considering a heavier spring? I currently have 6112 with a #700 spring, pretty stiff but i dont mind it since it helps with lift

Hi Spencer, we do offer a 650 lb spring that works with either the 6112 or 8112, we also have a 700 lb spring specifically for the 8112. Those part numbers are 53-291387 and 53-332837 or you can also find them by heading to our online catalog at cart.bilsteinus.com and entering your vehicle info.
How does it work if you need to limit the travel of shock? Meaning a 8” is too long and with that much travel you are going to damage steering and other components and you need to limit the travel to 7.5” example.

We use this tech on direct-fit applications only, where the length and tune are specific to the vehicle.
This might be a dumb question, but why isn't the zone control tech in the rear shock offerings for the Taco? Not needed generally?

We typically pair 8112 front with our 8100 External Bypass direct fit rears, which are already position sensitive.
Build them faster. Been waiting on mine for over 6 months.
