Bilstein 6112

Front setup - I have the same year and setup just different bumper but skids and sliders also. Do not just put the proprietary 650lb springs in it. Get the Bilstein specific 650 lb springs made for the 6112. I am on clip 4 with 285's. You should be able to find just the springs in stock somewhere.
I found some here:

Top mount spacers are frowned upon in 3rd gens, but I run a 1/4" top hat spacer on the driverside in my 2nd gen to compensate for taco lean.

Rear Setup - perfect setup but with that weight you may talk to Deaver to see if you need stage 3 over 2. Use their bushings and get a Wheelers U-bolt flip kit with tembren bumpstops.

Things that you are confused about:
- taco lean is always going to be a problem with our trucks. A front top hat spacer will not correct all of it but some. The Deaver springs are pass/driverside specific and they should help as well.

- shimming is a possibility for any taco. Every tacoma is different. Depending on how high up you go and if you have a dcsb vs dclb, there will always be a chance for drive line vibes when you lift a tacoma. There are threads to measure driveline angles to determine if you need shims but the carrier bearing drop will help.

- On your 2013, a aftermarket is "necessary " with anything above 2.5" in the front. When I mean "necessary " is because of your alignment numbers and articulation. If you are below that it is still highly "recommended " to get them if you are over 2" of lift. There is no downside and they will give you more caster as well as a wider degree on the Ball joint movement. Any other questions just let us know .

 

Thanks so much for that, really helpful. Getting closer. I'm literally having to buy almost every part from a different vendor because of the scarcity right now. Crazy.

 

Just ordered my 6112s, getting them Un-assembled. Should I get new top hats/mounting hardware or should I just reuse my factory stuff? I also plan on running these with the B110s and need to get new bump stops & brake lines, what is better wheeler superbumps or timbrens?

 

Save time and buy top hats. If you’re having a shop install your suspension it’ll save you money since I doubt they won’t charge extra to swap out the factory top hats. I got a pair of KYB hats for $40ish shipped with Amazon Prime.

 

Timbren actives are better but almost double the price.

 

Anybody?

 

What is your rear center hub to fender?

 

26in

 

Care to share where?

 

How are you liking the fox 679's x expos combined with 6112's up front?

I'm thinking of doing the same. Everyone seems to be out of Bilsteins 6112 and 5160's so probably going to do the same package from wheeler's (fox 279 + AP expo Leafpack) and do the rear end first until the 6112's are back in stock.

also... this may be a silly question but are the Fox 679 the same as Fox 2.0's?

Thanks!

 

* I meant Fox 679

 

https://rogue-offroad.com/BILSTEIN-6112-Toyota-2wd4wd-Adjustable-Shocks_p_8065.html , for the 6112s. Also bought my carrier bearing drop kit here I think it was ARB. They don't have the 650 lb springs in stock though, had to buy those via bilsteinlifts.com

Bought my 5160s through shocksurplus.com

Bought my Deaver leaf springs through Wheeler's Offroad, along with the U bolt flip kit and the bushings.

Happy hunting!

 

Which deavers did you go with?

 

remember he purchased the 2nd Gen product not the 3rd gen.

make sure you get the correct product for the 3rd gen.

 

I actually did check with Rogue for a 3rd gen and they confirmed it is in stock and ready to ship

 

part number listed on the link you provided is not for 3rd gen

from the link you provided Part Number:46-206084 (this part number is not even for the 2nd gen Tacoma) it is for the Tundra



part number for 3rd gen

 

right on, just wanted to let him know they do have the parts, but for sure make sure you’re getting the correct ones

 

Thanks for the heads up. When you called, did they say anything about what clip setting comes by default? I don't see anywhere when you can ask for a specific setting.

 

I just bought them unassembled, there is a comment section when you go to check out though so I figure you can request whatever setting you want there
