Bilstein 6112 & 5160 lift

Do it.

 

Then they are idiots

 

This^

 

A little outdated pics. Only had engine skid and Sliders on at time of photos. This should give you an idea of the rake though.

 

Looks good. Nice truck, man.

 

6112’s 4/5 setting, 5160’s, JBA UCA’s, Headstrong 3 Leaf all, ECGS bushing, sway bar relocation blocks, SCS BR6’s gunmetal in 16x8”, 4.0” back spacing, -12 offset, 255/85/16 Cooper ST Maxx’s. Waiting for alignment, have some usual rubbing as stated by some and should be able to fix with alignment.

 

Why'd you upgrade your bump stops?

 

Where did u get the rear 4x4 in black from?

 

EBAY has them.

 

I gotta similar build. Your 33s still rubbing with 6112 set at 5/4 or 4th notch with 650lb springs? any weights up front? what's your front & rear measurement from middle of the hub to fender?

 

I’m looking into doing the exact same setup. Do you happen to have a side profile picture of your truck?

 

Fantastic looking truck!

 

I ended up getting more than 1 inch at that setting. Roughly 1/2 inch higher in front now. I ordered a 1 inch block for the rear.

 

hey there whats 3 leaf AAL did you go with?

 

Hs

Do you feel any of the small bumps more than stock? I went with 11/9 then tried 10/9 with rxt leafs at opt 1... man its a bumpy ass ride over small stuff at slower speeds. Im looking to smooth it out and might take out the rxt pack and put the stock leafs back in and put the clips at the lowest setting or in the middle like you did.

 

any luck with adding weight to smooth it out?

 

4WP sucks. Overpriced and pretty much mainly for ignorant Jeepers.

 

Great looking setups! I have a question for those above with varying 6112 heights. I have CCLB that I'm installing the 6112/5160 combo. I'll also have the Icon AAL and will keep overload spring. I'm not sure if I should go with the 6/5 or the 5/4 up front. I currently have a heavy duty (unsure of make right now) front bumper with Warn winch and I will have an Alu-cab topper, RoofNest RTT, and will occasionally put 2 dirt bikes on a hitch mount rack. I want to keep the rake due to the planned weight on the back. Any opinions on 6/5 or 5/4 - will the 6/5 and the overload + AAL keep enough rake, or should I install as 5/4?

 

I don't think they sell the 6-notch version anymore. New one is 11 for more micro adjustments. I've had mine for a year now and at the time Bilstein was shipping a mix of both but I think they are all 11 now. I did 10-8 with the 600 pound springs and only got ~1". Still stumped to this day. I bought the 650# springs and got ~1.5" which was about what I wanted. My front end is stock, no steel bumper/winch, just TRD pro skid plate and Prinsu roof rack.

For the AAL, when I was researching I did not hear a lot of great things about using an AAL and that they sagged pretty quickly. I did the ICON RXT leaf pack and did option 2. I got 2" in rear so I have a little bit of extra rake which is fine because it levels out when I go camping.

 

Does anyone have a picture of it at the max setting 11/9 and just the rear 5160? (No AAL or block) want to see how much of a rake there is before installing it.
