    Are the 8112's for the Gen III trucks?

    Not exclusively. They are test fitting on mine to better understand how much lift they get at different notch settings for the 2nd gen.

    DO NOT drive the truck with the 8112's on it. That would just make you want them, when the 6112's will work just fine for us commoners.

    Walked by the Bilstein building this morning and it looks like the 6112/5160s are on!

    If you don't mind me asking what exactly are you getting out of the deal, I hope something?

    For the R&D loner they should give you the suspension for nothing.

    I don't mind and in fact, I asked them specifically what they minded my posting and if they preferred there was anything I left out. They told me, I was free to share the story. I'll write up a thread in the 2nd gen section about the whole experience after I get the truck back. Short answer is, they are totally hooking me up. Great guys, great product and I couldn't be happier. I'm getting the 6112s and 5160s at no cost. They are also throwing in the add-a-leaf and of course, the alignment.

    So here's a question... 5160 or the extended B110(RCD rears) with Dakkar leaf pack?

    Not sure, I'm learning about these as I go. I asked them to lift the front as close to 2" as possible. I don't think they had done that yet when I saw the truck this morning. I'll ask them when I pick it up

    The 5160 was designed around the OE leaf springs, or 0-1" lift, so terrible choice IMO for Dakar.

    The B110 is a much better choice. If you go that route, you need to pay attention to your bump stops and understand how they will potentially affect the shock when collapsed.

    Last weekend I got out in the dirt for several hours and got to work the 6112's. I'm quite impressed. Very controlled. Head and shoulders above the 5100/885 I was running.

    I'll be writing more in my build on my thoughts about them in the near future.

    I was "Planning" on Dakkar pack , AllPro u bolt flip and Wheelers superbumps, extended brake lines.. What do you think? I might need the tall spacer they need for the rear bump?
