New Buyer's Guide - 2019-2021 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Boss & 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4

Bilstein 8112 Shocks Review

If there’s one 2nd gen Tundra that needs the beefiest suspension on the market, it could be Buzz’s Tundra. Buzz can be seen around all the socal desert spots, Big Bear, and of course Mammoth Lakes, his stomping grounds when the winter hits and the fresh powder dumps.

Since there were numerous team members currently equipped with Fox, along with Kingston’s Rebel, we took the opportunity to go get a feel for all 3 platforms.

Old Man Emu BP-51 Toyota 4Runner Installation

The installation of the Old Man Emu BP51 front coilovers and rear shocks are pretty straight forward.

The front and rear mounting kits are also unique to the BP51 shocks, since the 2.8 inch bodies require special clearance requirements in the rear of the vehicle.
