Bilstein 6112

I’ll be installing medium Dakar’s with 5160’s at the same time. Any idea on your fender to hub with the 4th setting after settling? Contemplating dropping them down now before install. I definitely don’t want to be nose high.

 

The fourth setting was a great height for me......and I think with the medium dakars, it would be a great match for you as well. I think that the 3rd might give you too much rake with the dakars. It would be more for a AAL. The 5th setting is most likely going to level your truck.

 

Good chance I may have the shop drop them to 4. My Dakar’s are both “-“ as well so may get 1/4 less than spec. Was your 3/4 inch rake with an empty bed?

 

If you can work on your own truck. It takes like 3 hours to adjust both fronts with little tools.

 

They aren’t installed yet. Still in the garage currently. I don’t have all the needed tools but do have access to them. Just trying to get it right the first time.

 

Makes sense,

 

Yup. Empty bed.

 

Awesome what setting do you have this at and how much lift did you get.
What leaf are you running?

I have an icon extended travel w 700lb coils and looking to go another route cause I don’t have time to rebuild them so this is a possibility.

I have sos aluminum bumper, steel- all skids, sliders and rear bumper and winch with Dakar leaf pack.

trying to get 2.75-3” of lift like I have now.

 

How much lift you get? What setting ? Tire size? Coils?
Thanks!!

edit
Realized you are 3rd gen

 

Lift; I think max is 2.5 on the 3rd gens. Currently on slot 6, but play with preload often. 700lb coils, really needs 650 though. Pulling swaybar.
Tires, 285/75R17, 34s.
Rear is All Dogs Offroad leafs in HD config. Have a lot of weight in the rear with the decked and stuff.
1 Good 5160 1 Blow 5160 in the rear.

Making a trip then revamping suspension, either Accutuned Fox or Radflo's.

 

You wouldn’t happen to have any pics of that setup would you?

 

1 blown
Well than doesn’t make me feel good lol
I have already been dealing with a leaky one

 

I have 6112's on the 4th setting with bilstein 650 lb coils in front with 5160's and heavy dakars in the rear. I have about a 2.25 inch in the front with my armor and a 3 in the rear with my cap and some things in the bed but not 600lbs. I do have a dclb if that makes a difference.

 

Installed in July 2017. Trying to see if I can warranty it. But no answers phone or email to Headstrong.

 

I wonder if your cap dropped your rear any? I won’t have anything but a bed mat back there 90% of the time.

 

Actually....hold on. That was with my armor. This us before the armor was put on. Just the lift.

 

Not much. I have taken it off and on at the rear drops 1/4" when I put it on and goes up about 1/4" when I took it off.

 

Thank you for all the information!

 

true
So 4th setting
Wonder what I would need to be at with all my armor 5 or 6th maybe?
Sounding like a rough ride by then ...maybe
