Bilstein 6112

can't they swap out the 600s for 650s for you? or is it from a private party sale?

 

Always doing the good work for the rest of us!

 

Thank you guys for the info!! i might just buy them and order 650lb springs since these things have been so hard to come this last year. And @Fast1 it’s a private party.

 

If you get your springs through AccuTune Offroad they have an exchange program.

 

Installed my 6112/5160's a week or so ago. Just got around to aligning the truck now that it's settled. Still need to install the new OME Dakar leaf pack (badly).

 

Well I had reached out to Marie at HS prior to finding this guy locally, and she told me they would have the 650lb spring in on Tuesday. So I ordered the 6112/5160s from them instead of buying separately

 

Anyone running 4/3 setting on a 3rd gen with 600 lb springs and 1 in rear block and can you share a pic? I’ve looked all through this thread and didn’t find any examples. I’m sticking with 265/75r16 and don’t want a huge lift. Just looking for a small lift and better ride. Thanks.

 

I have this setup except I’m on 17s. Some people don’t need the block but I did. I have a very small rake now but it’s less than factory.

 

Thank you! Looks great

 

I did the add a leaf, got about 2" and some needed spring.
Was best for me and was just $75

 

you can get a 1/2" block too instead of a 1"

Hi there, I think you're on the same road I'm heading down here. I've stalked all your posts, could I ask a couple of questions? You mentioned that at 4/3, with a 1" spacer in the rear you're .25" lower in front for a minor rake. Has that held up, or have you noticed your front has dropped a bit more since then? Also, what tire size are you running? Any modifications to fit? Appreciate it!

 

Here's my Cement Grey with 6112s/5160s, SPC UCAs, ICON AAL w/ BFG KO2s 285/70/17 on TRD SEMA Wheels. The 6112s are set at 6/5 and I got alittle over 2.5 inch lift.

 

Did you purchase them online or by calling them? Ive been wanting to order them but since they aren't in stock it won't let me add them to my cart.

 

Looking good.

 

@crashngiggles Can you go over how you change clip settings?
Thx

 

Hey, have you ever ordered from Yota Garage out of Salt Lake? I ordered my kit from them, they had in stock. I originally was planning to go with Bilstein 5100s all around, but they had 6112s/5160s inventory so I got those instead. Good luck.

 

Great setup! Can I ask how long ago you did the lift? Find it’s settling down closer to 2”? Or do you have 650# springs giving you that 2.5”? I want to do something similar, but want to be at 2” long term. And how much work was your tire fitment, cmc and trimming? Thanks!

 

Thanks. Its been about a month now, and day of lifting it was an almost 3" lift in front. Since then, I've driven a few trails to let the coils do its work and its lowered to just above 2.5", but I expect it to lower a little bit more. Its on 600lb springs (the default springs that came w/ 6112s). My truck has always riden a bit higher when stock, and my 'driver lean' was less than 1/2 inch. I guess every truck is different. My hope was to avoid any trimming and/or CMC on 285s. So far, so good. Of course on rugged off-road driving I expect to rub, but for driving on pavement or trails I'm happy with results. I suppose the wheel offset could be a factor as well, these TRD SEMA wheels are just 17x7 with +4 offset I believe.
