Bilstein 6112

It was pretty tall at first but has settled a good bit I think. It is a double cab 2013 4x4 V6

 

JBA's? How do you like them?

 

Theyre great so far. No rubbing. Easy to grease.

 

Finally joined the club. Third clip & sit's almost perfectly level visually looks the slightest bit front end high. Will have take measurements on a flat surface to be sure. Now just waiting for my 255-85-16 to come in & I'll be a happy camper. Factory UCA's & brand new factory lowers. Alignment came back pretty nice 2 on the left & 1.45 right for the caster numbers. Drives great.

 

Is your rear stock?

 

Front is starting to settle a bit.

Has dropped about a quarter inch. Am on the 3rd setting with a prerunner access cab.

About 1-1.5” rake depending on fuel levels. Rear is stock leafs with progressive AAL and overload left in.

 

Yeah, with the factory recall spring pack , 5160's & riderite's on Daystar crades if I need them.

 

Anyone running a hidden winch with 6112’s up front??? It looks like a @CBI Offroad Fab hidden mount and a smittybilt 9500 will be around a 100lbs. Mine are set on 5th setting. I think it should be fine.

 

You’ll drop about .25” or more of your using the coils that came with the 6112s

 

Question for all the experts out there. I have a 2018 DCSB TRD OR I want to raise about an inch. Would the 3/2 setting be correct for the front? which AAL should I go with in the rear?

Thank you

 

I would get the ones that installed your lift to change the direction of your UCA bolts, if that nut comes off that is going to suck.

 

Go with the 3rd notch and get the icon 3 leaf aal I got 2.15” lift all the way around on my 2014 OR dcsb

 

Anytime you max out your suspension the quality is going to diminish.

 

I recently installed a set of 6112’s with SPC’s. I set the DS to the 4th notch and PS to the 3rd. I still have around 1/2” difference, DS lower. Is this pretty normal?

I’m debating on how much to lift the rear I’m about an inch higher in the front now with just the TSB leafs.

 

Anyone develop a squeak from the front struts? Just drove 370 miles and noticed the top bushing nuts needed to be re torqued but the squeak didn’t go away it’s only at really low speeds.

 

I don’t know if you remember, but I actually PM’ed you about your setup awhile back haha. I like the stance of your rig. After a little more research, I’ve decided to go with the 4th notch to keep it around 2”. How is the ride one the 4th notch compared to stock? I’m also planning on an Icon AAL with overload in. Just need some damn money.

 

I have different UCAs but did the same with my 2nd gen. Started with 3/3 but was getting a decent 3/4” to 1” difference depending on fuel levels. Swapped it to 3/4 and things are around where you mention. Not nearly as noticable. I think it rides a bit firmer now, however.

 

Damn you’re right! I am on the 4th notch I had to go and double check lol. It’s nice it still rides smooth but much improved handling and stability.

 

Cool. Thanks man. Good to know it’s not just my truck. How long did it take for your springs to settle tontheir current height and what did you end up with for hub to fender measurements? Right now I’m at 23” on the PS and 22.5 on the DS

 

Only had it on for about 1500miles so I’m still waiting to see what the final settling is.

I think I dropped around a quarter inch in the first week, however.

My old suspension was so shot and saggy I didn’t even bother measuring before numbers.

I’ll be putting on another 750mi in the next 2 weeks, after which I’ll post up the “final” height. I know stock lifted AC/Pre-runner lift numbers are hard to come by.
