    Anyone running this combo on their 3rd gen?

    Bilstein 6112/5160 with E rated tires?

    Does it ride like it's on steel wagon wheels on the street?

    Comment your setup please. Thanks!

    Don't go e rated unless you want less than 15ish mpg. What size?

    Just curious who is running this general setup with 33s or 35s maybe.

    How much did your mpg drop? 2,3,4 mpg?

    Won't fit 35s without alot of work. I'd consider a skinny 33, 255 85 16 or 255 80 17. I have 265 wildpeaks now and am planning on doi g a skinny 16in 33. I don't want to lose so much power and mpg, then end up having to regear.

    I appreciate the suggestions.

    Would like to see an answer to the specific question...

    Bilstein 6112/5160 and (any size) E rates tires...

    Anyone running this? :thumbsup:

    Would love for them to comment.

    Undecided on exact tire size. Most likely will be dictated by load range and whether or not load E will ride too rough as a daily.

    Will probably stay with a 16 inch wheel. Although, there are more tires available with a 17 inch wheel. I like the look of a 16.

    I feel like the Bilstein 6112/5160 plus a 3 leaf AAL will be a good on road setup that doesn't handle like a boat, while still having good off road performance in most situations.

    I want to hear from someone running this with load E tires to see if the ride is just too harsh for daily. Most 33s or 35s are load E. If I'm gonna go up in tire size at all, I'm not going smaller than a 33.

    E rated cost more, weigh more, ride more harsh. Unless you offroad very often, rock crawl, etc. Then P rated makes way more sense. But, you gotta do what will make YOU happy. Of course if a guy currently has E rated tires his response will be biased. " I love my E rated, just lower the tire pressure bro."

    Ps. My P rated Falkens have yet to fail me and I offroad in very rocky terrain.
