The 5th-gen 4Runner might be the most-modified SUV on the trail, and it gets there one heavy part at a time: bumper, sliders, skids, a drawer system, a rooftop tent. The factory suspension was soft before any of that went on. Now it wallows in corners, dives under braking, and blows through its travel the first time the trail gets serious. The 8112 / 8100 set puts real damping at all four corners, levels the truck, and gives you room to tune for the weight you actually carry. One of the Shock Surplus staff settled on these for their own 5th Gen 4Runner: "outrageously good."

KDSS or Not?
KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System) is the hydraulic sway bar system on many Trail and TRD Pro trucks. Look for hydraulic cylinders on the ends of the front and rear sway bars. KDSS trucks take different 8112 fronts with their own mounting hardware. The rears are the same either way. Not sure? Send us your VIN.
What the Letters Mean
- 8112. 2.65" body coilover with ZoneControl CR: soft around ride height, firmer near full compression and extension. Adjusts for ride height only.
- 8112 DSA+. The same coilover with high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and JCO (internal hydraulic bump stop) knobs.
- 8100 / 8100 DSA / 8100 Bypass. Non-adjustable, compression-adjustable, and fully adjustable bypass rears, all 2.65" with a remote reservoir.
Choose Your Set
- Run 8112 / 8100 if: it's a daily that goes camping on weekends and you'd rather drive than tune.
- Run DSA+ up front if: your load changes a lot (empty commute, full rack on Friday), or you want to firm up the bump stop for fast dirt without giving up the commute.
- Run the 8100 DSA rear if: you carry a fridge, drawers, and water in the back and want to firm the rear without new springs.
- Run the 8100 Bypass rear if: you drive fast on rough roads and want to tune rebound as well as compression.
- Already heavy up front? Add the medium (80-100 lb) or heavy (150-200 lb) Bilstein front springs at checkout.
Pick Your Height: Lift Chart
Non-KDSS: passenger sits about 3/8" lower (9/16" on TRD Pro) to take out the lean. KDSS: both sides the same. The TRD Pro and 2WD presets are too high and must be adjusted before install.
2010-2024 4Runner
| Configuration | Front Lift | Rear Lift |
|---|---|---|
| Non-KDSS 4WD | 1.5" to 3.0" | 0" to 2" |
| 2015+ TRD Pro (Non-KDSS) | 1.2" to 2.6" | 0" to 2" |
| Non-KDSS 2WD | 3.0" to 3.8" | 0.9" to 2" |
| KDSS 4WD | 1.2" to 3.5" | 0" to 2" |
KDSS Exposed Thread (Both Sides)
| Exposed Thread | Front Lift |
|---|---|
| 0" | 1.2" |
| 5/16" | 1.8" |
| 5/8" | 2.3" |
| 15/16" | 2.9" |
| 1 9/32" | 3.5" |
Bilstein presets KDSS fronts at 2.5".
How to choose: Measure the rake, add any rear spring lift, and pick the closest row. Bumper and winch: one row higher, or the medium/heavy springs.
Setting Your Height
Threaded spring seat. Changing it means a spring compressor and the coilover off the truck. Bilstein's limits: under 19 5/8" at ride height and at least 2" of droop.
The Real Trade-Offs
- Check the reservoir hose at full droop. Bilstein says to rotate the reservoir if the hose touches the upper control arm.
- 2WD trucks start at 3" of front lift. No mild setting.
- Not the typical "firm" ride. While Bilstein is known for its digressive, firmer ride, these 8112 achieve far more comfort than expected on the daily drive through their zone control technology.
- The add-on springs matter. A heavy front end on standard springs sags into the firm zone of a position-sensitive shock. If the bumper and winch are already on, order the heavier springs. Our own Toyota is running 650 lb springs with an aftermarket bumper and winch, to provide more overall stability and optimal ride height without requiring you to preload the springs.
Install Notes
- Fits 2010-2024 Toyota 4Runner, 4WD and 2WD, KDSS and non-KDSS. Choose your front above.
- Bilstein lists these fronts for SR5, SR5 Premium, Trail, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, TRD Pro, Venture, and 40th Anniversary trucks. The Limited (X-REAS) is not listed.
- Non-KDSS: sway bar spacer and radiator core support spacers are included. KDSS: Bilstein's kit relocates the ABS line and mounts the left reservoir through the splash guard (two holes cut in the guard).
- Bypass rears use threaded inserts in factory holes.
- Alignment right after install.
Who Should Buy These
5th-gen owners carrying real overland weight or running fast dirt roads, who want a factory-quality fit without welding or long-travel arms. These Bilstein shocks are built for speed in the dirt, so if you're rarely offroad, these may be overkill.

The Expert's Opinion
"Bilstein shocks aren't always the softest ride out there, but if you want precision handling, confidence at high speeds, and rock-solid stability under load, they're the best in the game.
They're built to perform. At Shock Surplus, we back every Bilstein we sell – because we know they won't let you down"
Questions? We've got answers
Bilstein shocks make your vehicle respond much better than stock shocks. Are they super soft and squishy on the road? No. They give you confidence because your truck or SUV reacts exactly how you expect when you steer or brake. That’s why we say 'Confidence through Control.' If you like having more control and a sportier feel while driving, Bilstein is the right choice. But if you want the same or more comfort than the soft factory shocks, we can recommend other options
Bilstein 5100 shocks can’t be adjusted for stiffness or rebound. But on some trucks and SUVs (like the Tacoma, F-150, or Tundra), they can adjust the front ride height. This lets you reuse your stock coil springs and still lift the front of your vehicle by up to 2.5 inches, depending on the model. Always check the product details for the exact fit on your vehicle
Click the 'Select Your Vehicle' button above the 'Add to Cart' button to make sure the shocks fit your exact vehicle. If needed, the site will send you to the right shocks for your ride. If your vehicle has been lifted, use the dropdown menu to pick the correct lift height. For example, if you have a Rough Country 6-inch lift kit, choose Front 4–6" and Rear 3–4" (the rear is usually smaller than the front). Still not sure? Our sales team is happy to help.
Bilstein shocks are one of the most durable and reliable shocks manufactured here in the USA. German engineering mixed with extreme abuse testing has resulted in a shock absorber that is designed to last 100,000 miles or more. We stand behind every Bilstein shock we sell and offer an expedited warranty process for any issues surrounding your purchase from Shock Surplus.
