Lead time: this is a special-order item, typically 4–16 weeks depending on stock and manufacturing at time of order. We'll confirm an estimated timeframe when you order.
The B8 8112 ZoneControl® CR is Bilstein's flagship position-sensitive front coilover — the same 2.65in remote-reservoir platform used on Bilstein's top-tier US truck applications, fitted here for Hilux N70/N80.
- ZoneControl® CR damping — 3 compression zones and 2 rebound zones controlled by 3 independent pistons, giving a plush ride over small bumps and progressively firmer control as the shock moves deeper into its travel.
- Jounce Cut-Off (JCO) system — a 2-stage telescoping internal compression stop provides bottom-out control without needing an external hydraulic bump stop.
- Rebound Cut-Off (RCO) system — dissipates spring energy and stabilises the suspension immediately after a big hit, and eliminates harsh top-out without an external limit strap.
- 60mm remote reservoir for increased oil capacity and cooling under sustained off-road use.
- Threaded spring seat — fine-tune ride height across a 2.5–6in adjustment range.
- Chrome 5/8in heim joint mounting with rubber-sealed misalignment spacers for a durable, load-bearing mount.
- Aluminium components with zinc-plated shock bodies to resist off-road corrosion. Factory rebuildable. Made in the USA by Bilstein.
Fitment
N70 Hilux: direct bolt-in, no modification required.

Sold as a pair (2 x front coilover). Non-adjustable — for external 3-way adjustability, see the DSA+ version.
Check your front load.
Hilux N70/N80 carries a stock front axle around 1180kg on a 600lb spring. Pick your Vehicle above, tell us what's fitted, and we'll estimate where you land.
Build this for how you actually drive — the daily commute, the school run, the odd weekend track — not the one loaded trip you do three times a year. Nobody enjoys a daily-driven brick just so it's ready for a trip it takes twice a summer. If your heavy trips are rare, tell us straight and we'll spec for the other 80%.
Front-Mounted Accessories
Bull bar and winch hang off the front overhang, so essentially all of that weight loads the front axle.
Underbody & Chassis
Mounted between the axles, so only part of the weight transfers forward.
Rear-Mounted Gear
Tray, canopy, boxes — mounted behind the cab, so this loads mostly onto the rear axle.
Towing
Tow ball weight loads almost straight onto the rear axle.
Guide only. Your answers attach to your order automatically so we see them at checkout, and we'll sanity-check the spec before we build. We're chasing ride comfort and capability together — not stance for its own sake.
