They're saying that for achieving the same level of performance with the suspension components from other manufacturers, you would have to spend $15k+. Buying a Braptor would be another alternative.

If Santa doesn't receive my gift request, I'll probably go with the 6100's when the OEM Bilstein's wear out. Anyway, the 8112's would be an overkill for my 2 door. They look very sexy though.
I didn’t watch it to be honest when I read the price.

I’m one of those they mentioned in the video who doesn’t want to lift or modify my Badlands Sasquatch. I’m very happy with its 35” tires. No desire to go bigger. It takes me everywhere I ask it to. But there is certainly a lack of high quality choices to replace the stock yellow bilsteins, especially if one is looking to get the benefits of an adjustable high quality / performance coil over with a reservoir. Been patiently waiting for products like this to come to market.

I'm extremely pleased with the Sasquatch suspensions on my Everglades and Heritage Edition.
Ford engineers pegged it......perfectly.

I'll just leave this here 👌. Very excited to run these. You may ask why these took so long, 4 years to be exact. It’s because a ton of R&D + tuning was done. The tech built into these is outstanding and very unique.

Speaking from past experience of having 8112’s on my taco these will absolutely make bronco a different vehicle, entirely. Let’s party!

Two and a half minutes in and I’m done. Cheesus. They need a lesson from @Accutune on how to make a video.

They discuss 0 to 1.5" lift over Sasquatch, and they come from factory middle set for "optimum" ride. Can these go on non-SAS and be set to less than 2" lift? Cost about $6,500?

Damn, I literally just swapped out for 6112's early this month. Atleast the 6112's are still a huge improvement over what was on my Badlands.

Did you gain any travel from the 6112's compared the BL shocks? Or were you looking for a different shock setup?

That was tough to sit through. I didn't hear any mention of shock lengths in the video.

. …if this is the sales/pm team….. a missed opportunity to make a GOOD impression, IMO.
Seems to be a Bilstein team.

“Buckle up! These estrogen-laden dudes that somehow think they’re nine feet tall and that a coilover is heavy will BLOW YOUR MIND when it comes to knowing if this shock body is made from steel or aluminum.”

I don’t care if your head is out of shot. Show me the product. That’s what I’m here for.

Yeah, that'll be my plan too. I don't think these will be many thousands of dollars of "better", maybe I'm wrong? I have lots of demands on my budget and I need to use components until they are fairly worn out before swapping.

Come on man, these guys are just trying to provide an update that a lot of people are excited about. These guys are suspension engineers, not marketing folks. No need to attack them personally.

Cool. Provide us with some relevant details and information regarding the product. Not sitting around like the audience is interested in you, the presenters. Get off your lazy ass and pick the thing up. “Oh but my head won’t be in the shot” 🙄🙄🙄🙄 As engineers they should be embarrassed to be associated with this video. Or at least the first 2:35 seconds of it.
