Has your family off-road rig lost the spring in its step? Is the steering just not as responsive as it once was after too many hours of trail pounding? It may be time to replace and/or upgrade the suspension components, and the good news is there is a wide variety of options to choose from. If your holiday gift was a new vehicle, maybe you need to buy yourself a present to upgrade the truck or SUV’s off-road performance. Whatever the case may be, there are a lot of great new suspension parts and kits on the market. Here’s just a little taste of some of the new products available now.
Bilstein 6112 Series Shocks
Bilstein recently introduced its new 6112 Series coilover front shock, which the company says is designed for the serious off-roader who demands consistent performance. Utilizing a large 60mm body for increased oil capacity to aid in cooling and long-term durability, the 6112 is fitted with a 60mm digressive piston for increased damping control. The monotube shock is designed to provide fade-free performance in demanding off-road terrain, though Bilstein it is still tuned for comfortable on-road handling. An adjustable spring seat allows for an adjustment of lift up to 2.5 inches, depending upon the application. Bilstein’s new 6112 Series is a direct-fit application available for the Toyota Tacoma (2005-15), Tundra (07-15), 4Runner (03-15) and FJ Cruiser (07-14), and also the Chevrolet Silverado (2007-15) and GMC Sierra (2007-15). Each kit includes two 60mm shock absorbers, two billet hard-anodized spring seats and two springs. Bilstein recommends its 5160 Series for rear applications. No pricing is available at this time.
