The Lair

I have the 6112’s with 700# Eibach coils. I love them!

When it comes time to replace, I’d get the same thing.

 

Are 6112s rebuildable or is it just cost efficient to replace them?

 

should be, i remember seeing a screw collar by the stem seal

--- yep looks like they are

Not rebuildable. Need to be replaced when shot.

 

I stand corrected.

Not worth it to rebuild them.

 

Looks like 450 all said and done for a rebuild. I would concur with you.

 

Interesting. Mine come with the coils installed. I searched and can't find the spring rate anywhere.

 

You get them from HS?

 

Yes, the kit included the 6112s at the 5/6 position for the lean, 5160s in the rear, with a 3 Leaf HS AAL.

Then I bought the Std Duty JBAs from JBA.

And I'm doing the ECGS bushing and new seal too.

 

They are 600lb springs

 

Thanks Mike!

No armor (for a while) so I should be good, plus I need on road comfort.

 

I'd need lift options for a Tacoma with front plate bumper. Guys is looking to get more lift than 886 paired with 5100billies. Don't know yet how much he has right now but I think 3,5 to 4" lift total would make him happy. Thoughts?

 

Can't really go above 3" with a normal lift. If you want to go higher, you need a drop bracket lift or a spindle lift if 2wd.

Reason being is the CV axle will bind, and probably the upper and lower ball joints will have issues.

 

Yea, no joke. I had mine on with the 700lb springs before I had the bumper and it felt like I replaced my suspension with rebar.

 

So he would have to go mid or long travel?
I was looking at Icon stage whatever to try to understand lift and options, why uca or not. I could refer him to that for 3,5"?

 

What were you up to today Randy?

 

I don't think that's what he's looking for. He could maybe do it with LT, but that's a shit load of money. If he wants that much lift, ask him if that extra 1/2" is really worth thousands of dollars.

 

Oh man lemme tell you about my afternoon. As you saw I played disc golf. Went well, but now have this bullshit parking ticket to fight. Then I drove (aka sat in traffic) north of baltimore to pick up wheels and tires for TW express. Made it on time, and went to meet Joe for dinner. Sat in more traffic and was 30 minutes late, only to find out I went to the wrong goddamn restaurant. 25 minutes later and I'm at the correct one with my now watered down mojito waiting for me. At least my lobster mac n cheese was good.

Oh and @Mobtown Offroad hit the door of his ford on my sliders, so that was funny.

 

I'll ask him lol does the drop bracket lift eliminate articulation and offroad capabilities? His truck is mostly set for overlanding. I wouldn't recommand him a shitty lift lol

 

That’s fucked up....is @Mobtown Offroad going to replace your sliders?
