Upgrading Front suspension

Looking to get my ride height back after Adding a winch bumper, And I too don’t want to lift above 1”. Does anyone have any experience with the bilstein 6112 with a 700# 14” coil set to 0/1 notch? Or maybe another combo of shocks and springs . Looking to stay under the 1k mark. Main goals are: best ride possible, increase spring capacity, 1” max lift. I’ve been reading threads for a while. Probably could have called the manufacture and they could answer itpretty quick.But I’d rather waist my time on Tacoma world!

 

Going to need to know what bumper and winch to ballpark it.

 

C4 fab full bumper, no winch. Probably won’t do a winch, I’ll just keep my recovery kit in the bed to save weight

 

You could get the entire eibach kit for less than $650.

 

do you have a link with info on this kit?

 

Here's a bunch of reviews:

PM me and I will get you the part number if this is something you might be interested in.

 

650# if steel, 600# if aluminum IMO. You really don't get much choice on spring length in that price range but if you go 700# springs, you're going to hate the ride without 200lbs on the front.

Eibach is a solid buy on springs and Bilstein has options for struts.

 

I'm really digging my 6112's. I am currently set at 3/2 for a half inch of lift.

 

Do you have a winch bumper ?

 

I believe my bumper is somewhere In the 150# range dry. Like I said above I don’t plan to add a winch. But you never know.

 

Nope

 

650# will probably be fine then. The only guys running 700# are those with a heavy ass bumper (i.e. yours or ARB) and a winch while 650# tends to be the lightweight bumpers with a winch that's equivalent to around your bumper.

 

From what I’ve read the 3rd gens come with 700# springs factory. Unless I’m miss informed, I do not want to go down in weight capacity.

 

Anyone run the 6112’s on say the 2/1 setting or 1/0 with added weight up front? That’s what I’m truly interested in.

 

OEM 600lbs.

 

Do you have a citation for that number?

 

what don't you look it up?

 

I have and keep seeing a number between 710-717#? Wondering if you had a credible source for them being 600#, genuinely curious.

 

This is what I’m seeing as well
