Excellent Performance and Off-Road Handling with Adjustable Ride Heights
If your 2021-2022 F150 is destined for aggressive off-road adventures, then Bilstein has your back with their B8 6112 Front Coilover Assemblies. These powerful suspension upgrades give your F150 awesome off-road capability and can soak up violent impacts from rough terrain, all while maintaining good street ride quality. The Bilstein 6112 coilovers feature a large-diameter shock body and specially-designed coilover spring that both work together to give your F150 a huge improvement in handling and off-road performance all without breaking your bank. The 6112 coilover assemblies even feature adjustable ride height settings using snap ring system, allowing you to set your truck at 0", .5", 1", 1.5", 2", or 2.5" of front ride height to help you clear larger wheel and tire combinations while reducing your factory rake. The 6112 front suspension kit is a great choice for a truck destined for off-road applications on a budget.

60mm Shock Body with Digressive Valving and Bilstein Spring
The Bilstein 6112 Front Coilover Assemblies feature a durable construction with a piston and valving designed to handle aggressive applications. The coilovers are built around a 60mm diameter (2.36") shock body that has a much larger oil capacity than stock and features a zinc plated finish to help prevent corrosion. The shock assembly utilizes a gas-charged monotube internal design with a digressive piston with valving tuned specifically for your truck. The coilover assembly comes with a new Bilstein spring and billet spring seats that use a snap ring to fit into grooves on the shock body for ride height adjustments. The assembly reuses the factory upper coilover mount, bump stop, and hardware. The B8 6112 kit comes with installation and ride height adjustment instructions.


Fitment: 2021-2022 F150 4WD

4WD F150s Only: this version of the 6112 Suspension Kit only fits 4WD F150s and will not fit 2WD/RWD F150s.

Idk maybe it’s just me but it looks like they just changed the height settings on the previous 15-20 versions since people running those at the 2 inch setting were getting 2.5 inches of lift. Curious if they actually made any hardware or valving changes to them, if not people were just waiting that long for them to change the height settings on their older version. Same goes for the 5100 kit, looks exactly the same except for the difference in markings on the height settings.

The new strut now has 6 height settings where the previous generation has 5. Im sure there are other changes made but I do not have that information. If it was just height differences every manufacturer would have had a 21+ product on the market months ago.

why will this not work on 2WD out of curiosity?

This means the strut is located in a different place on the lower control arm vs 18-20, which results in a different motion ratio, which would need different damping. With that level of ride height difference for the same setting, its enough that it needed to be changed to be considered application specific. Being 10% off on your damping curve is a lot.

$770 for a pair of coil overs, dang. Are they not as good as fox’s or icons??

This is not a traditional coilover so not an apples to apples comparison. Everything listed has its own benefits so they can be look at as as good or better depending on what you are looking for.

Weight and height differences.

Right, because using the 15-20 height settings would get you about .5 inch more of lift than advertised therefore the 0 inch setting on the old models would actually give you .5 inches of lift so they just added one more setting .5 inches lower to give you a true 0 inches of lift making it have 6 settings now and the highest setting being 2.5 inches now vs 2 inches on the previous Gen models. That’s why I’m asking if they did indeed make any actual valving/dampening changes or just add an extra 6 setting and change all the height settings accordingly. Not sure if that makes sense or not but that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw these new 21+ kits roll out. Seem exactly like the old one with just the 6 lower setting added in case you want to run the stock height. I’m only asking because I’m rocking the previous Gen bilstein 5100 kit at the 2 inch setting and I got, you guessed it right, 2.5 inches of lift. I wanted to upgrade to the 21 specific 6112 kit when it came out but can’t find anywhere the changes in valving or dampening that bilstein did, so if all they did was reuse the previous Gen 6112 kit with new height settings I could have done that a long time ago with the 15-20 kit.

This is what I’m curious on, if they did in-fact change the valving/dampening to be application specific, or just change the height settings to be accurate to the new Gen and call it a day.

Given my experience with Bilstein, I doubt they would not at least do some math to change the stack.

That's not to say the -2020 application would be "bad." I've run damping I know was slightly underdamped in performance applications and it was still lightyears ahead of anything untuned.

"Not as fancy" might be the way I'd put it. Still 2.5" monotube dampers valved to do some off-road, but steel bodied, no threaded adjustment, no machined upper mounts, and no spherical mounts.

@Stage3Motorsports have you heard anything about the ford performance kit for 2021+? I read that they are using bilstein this time, instead of fox2.0. Not sure if its a 6112 style or 8112.
