Bypass Differences -

We've got a 4runner in the shop today, and we're always fielding questions about the differences between shocks and what they mean for the vehicle. Here we have two high performance options, the Old Man Emu BP51 and the Bilstein 8112 / 8100 Zone Control setups.
BP51 Key Stats
- 51mm Piston
- Internal Bypass Front & Rear
- Compression Adjustable Front & Rear
- Rebound Adjustable Front & Rear
- Height Adjustable Front
- Serviceable
Bilstein 8112 & 8100 Key Stats
- 60mm Digressive Piston
- Triple Piston design (front)
- External Bypass (rear)
- Compression & Rebound adjustable (rear only)
- Height adjustable front
- Serviceable

Y’all are busting out some bangers! Love the focus on The channel. love the #moneymoves

[@ShockSurplus]

We appreciate you!

[@Head60ty4]

Thanks for video!

[@ShockSurplus]

you're welcome, anything we can answer in a future video?

[@Hartz187]

Got the Bp’s waiting in my celler. Going on my AT 37" Hilux

[@ShockSurplus]

Get them on and enjoy the trails!

BP-51's or Falcon Tow/Hauls sports for my 5th gen 4runner on my overland build?

[@ShockSurplus]

We would aim for the OME BBP51. These seem handle much better for overlanding builds with the internal bypass, external reservoir, and both low speed compression and rebound adjustment.

[@pun1shment]

@@ShockSurplus awesome, thanks for the insight. What would you say for BP51 or the Bilstien 5160/6112 set up?

[@Jefe4x4]

This is what I sounded like doing a presentation in high school. Great insight on the differences of each other.

[@ShockSurplus]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pedrogonzalez7801]

Can I put the B8 8100 shock in the back of a 2009 fj Cruiser ?since I put 8112 in the front Since I have seen those kits with 8100 on the back and I want to be sure

[@ShockSurplus]

Yep, 8100s go on the rear of those vehicles and 4Runners, 8112s in the front, 8100s in the back

[@Revenant7n]

This video was a let down. Both shocks sitting right there, 4Runner right behind. Bolt them up and do a back to back!
All I heard was what I could read in the manufacturer literature.

[@ShockSurplus]

Thank you for your feedback, aiming to do better!.

[@dpaulitejr]

This was painful to watch.

[@ShockSurplus]

Thank you for your insight.
