Bilstein 6112 versus 8112
These two powerhouses are our top-of-the-line, direct-fit suspension kits for the off-road enthusiast, but — what’s the difference between them?
The simple answer is the 8112 contains all of the benefits of the 6112, but features our advanced "ZoneControl® CR" technology for even more agressive offroad use. See details below:
6112 / 8112 Similarities:
- User can set preferred ride height: 0-3 inches
- Large 60mm Monotube design and a digressive piston for improved comfort and control
- Tuned specific to each application, comes fully assembled with cold-wound linear spring
- Proudly made in the USA
8112 Adds:
- ZoneControl® CR technology – position sensitive damping, 3 compression zones, 2 rebound zones
- Compression (C): Bottom out control through a two-stage, telescoping internal compression stop
- Rebound (R): Secondary rebound stop dissipates spring energy and stabilizes suspension after a large compression, while the internal rebound stop will also eliminate harsh top-outs
- Triple piston-design creates extreme comfort for routine driving, while being able to easily soak up rough terrain at speed
- Remote reservoir for extra cooling and consistent shock performance
- Threaded spring seat allows for infinite adjustment of ride height
- Fully serviceable
