    Can you post a picture of your truck on the 5th setting with the 700# spring? I wanna make sure I made the right decision for setting to compensate for winch/skids/bumper but still maintain 2.5 or more of front lift

    Spent some time in the dirt today and had a blast! I've had the 6112/5160 set-up for over 15,000 miles now and they're still working great. Very nice controlled ride in high-speed sand washes as well as slower technical obstacles. Money well spent in my book with no regrets!! :thumbsup:

    Yeah it's got some fun stuff to mess around on. :burnrubber: It is an area known as "Painted Gorge" north of the desert town of Ocotillo, CA. It's located in the western portion of Imperial County.

    Anyone know when these will come back in stock? I've asked 4-5 shops, all sold out since last November. No clue when to expect new stock either.

    You could check out toytec lifts. Might not be a bad option, I haven't really researched it though.

    I didn't do a whole bunch of research, but went through the thread. One of the biggest complaints is rusting witch on Northeast is going to be pretty bad. From the looks of it, those are re-branded radflo shocks, on which I'm not going to comment because I know nothing. Lol. Also, at the time of me having an impulse to just "buy", I messaged toytec for more info (and coupon code for marked up 6112s on their site), didn't get a reply, aaand their 2.5s were out of stock. (Their 2.5 resi front c/o are in Kings price range)

    Thought I read they were made by blisten? But no response is kinda a deal breaker. I think @Rockbaron1 has radflo.

    After getting an unexpected but great deal on T4R Pro wheels with set of low milage ST Maxx, I don't have a budget for Kings price range, and Bilstein 6112/5160 fit the bill!
    So, as much as I don't really want to, I can wait patiently a little longer :playball:

    He might, but if he does, it's still a different ballgame with his long travel set up.

    There was a member with an issue with one of his c/o home dealer installed boss toytec lift. Warranty rebuilt, not replacement. And I believe that's where he found info that radflo builds shocks for them.
    I really hope I'm not passing along wrong info... That would make me such a troll...

    My shocks come from these guys; http://f-o-a.com/ they make some of the cheapest rebuildable/tuneable shocks out there. Fox’s and Kings were out of my budget too. And radflo makes good shocks as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to run a set of those. I think no matter what brand you go with there’s going to be some degree of rust and corrosion. It’s just the nature of the area we live in
