The third-generation (2022–2025) Toyota Tundra is a beast, but there’s always room for improvement. Bilstein offers a full range of products for the truck, including the company’s new B8 6112 and B8 6100 shock packages. These packages provide several benefits that enhance the Tundra’s overall suspension performance to make it even better.

About The Third-Gen Toyota Tundra

When the third-generation Tundra dropped in 2022, it wowed truck buyers with a slew of new features, including two new powertrains. One was a twin-turbo V6, and the other was a hybrid twin-turbo V6. However, one of the Tundra’s biggest changes from the previous generation was the rear suspension. Instead of leaf springs suspending the solid rear axle, it adopted links and either coil or air springs, depending on the trim level. The new rear suspension design also allowed Toyota engineers to mount the shock absorbers outside of the framerails. This change improved efficiency and enhanced both roll damping and towing performance. Up front, several variations of springs and shocks were used, depending on trim level.

About Bilstein B8 6112 Shocks

At the core of Bilstein’s B8 6112 shocks for the front suspension of the 2022–2025 Toyota Tundra is a large 60mm shock body. The increased oil volume plays a critical role in managing heat buildup, especially over long distances or uneven terrain. Heat is one of the biggest enemies of suspension performance (you’ve heard of shock fade, right?), and more oil means less heat and longer life.

The B8 6112’s monotube design and 60mm digressive piston maximize heat dissipation and decrease oil foaming to prevent performance loss. It’s designed to handle everything from small bumps to bigger hits. This dual nature gives these shocks the ability to smooth out rough terrain without feeling vague or disconnected.

Monotube Construction, Adjustable Spring Seat, And More

Another key feature of the B8 6112 is the adjustable spring seat, enabled by multiple snap-ring grooves in the shock body. This allows for lift customization from 0 to 2.2 inches for non-TRD Sport Tundra models, and from 1 to 3 inches for TRD Sport models, according to information provided by the company. The included cold-wound linear springs are tuned to balance support and ride quality, helping the vehicle remain predictable across a wide range of speeds and surfaces.

The direct-fit kit includes a pair of specially tuned B8 6112 shocks, two hard-anodized billet aluminum spring seats, and a matched set of springs—all made in the USA.

About Bilstein’s B8 6100 Shocks

The B8 6100 shocks for the rear of the third-gen Tundra feature specific tuning to ensure its performance is tailored to the vehicle. The shocks’ specifications are similar to those of the B8 6112s and include a monotube design and a 60mm digressive piston. The B8 6100 fits Tundras without air suspension, up to 1-inch of lift. Like the B8 6112s, each B8 6100 is made in the USA.

What If You Don’t Have A Tundra?

It’s important to note that, in addition to the third-gen Tundra, Bilstein’s B8 6112s are available for several other trucks and SUVs. For example, applications include certain models of the new Ford Bronco and late-model Ram 1500 pickups. Bilstein states that each features an adjustable spring seat offering 0 to 3.7 inches of lift, depending on the application. B8 6100 shocks are also available for other vehicles. No matter which you choose, each has vehicle-specific tuning. Visit the Bilstein website for more application information.
