    If I am not mistaken, the term Overland goes back to the horse & buggy era. Before grayhound busses & airplanes, people would travel in a horse drawn carriage (of many types) long distances, many times overnight to get to their destination. Think back to the all those western movies and/or cartoons where a stage coach gets robbed at gunpoint. Those stage coaches were traveling/overlanding multiple days to deliver their customers and goods to their destination. Also of note, there's a really old suburb of Kansas City, called Overland Park. I suspect it got its name by being a popular stop on an old overland route.

      @@bilsteinUS improved comfort and sport cannot be achieved both (by aftermarket damper) ? I heared people say monotube damper are superior, but I experienced that monotube damper was more harsh than twintube (on small bumps and at low speed)

    • @bilsteinUS
      @bilsteinUS 27 днів тому

      Typically you are either after comfort or performance and as you lean further to one side of that equation, you sacrifice a little bit on the other side. A lot of times, the soft “comfort” that people feel is due to the lack of damping controlling the vehicle keeping it to the road, hence why there is increased body roll and decreased cornering performance. On the other side, increased performance (for example, a high end coilover setup for a track oriented vehicle) will be much more “firm” feeling as the increased performance and damping ability is keeping the wheels glued to the ground without introducing any body roll or sacrificing vehicle dynamics. In our lineup, the B4 will be the most comfortable if that is what you are after. The monotube damper will offer better damping performance over a comparable twin tube shock. But on the other hand, a twin tube will offer more “comfort” and a softer ride feel.

    In practice by adding something like a 5160 shock to a vehicle that had linear tuned shocks from the factory you may actually be increasing spring rate and in a round about way increasing GVW.

    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.

I agree with trusting the bilstein engineers to dial in the shocks for a specific platform, but what about when the platform now has modifications? For example, would someone wanna adjust their 8112s if they’ve got a steel rear bumper and camper shell in the rear? Or say a hidden winch up front? Curious for your perspectives here.
