Bilstein 6112

A month ago I installed my set up 6/5 settled to about 1.75” give or take doesn’t matter to me but just a heads up.

 

@Scott B. How's the ride with the 700# on the top clip?
How much lift did you get?

End of the month I'm putting in 6112s with the same springs as you.
I have steel bumpers, winch, extra battery, steel skids, Rock sliders, shell, even a dual fridge/freezer in the back seat.
I'm looking for 2.5" to 2.75" of lift.
Thinking top clip might be a harsh ride so one clip down, 4th clip and 1/4" spacer on each side.

 

I think it rides fine. Others have been in my truck, and no one has said anything. But, I'm used to driving a truck, so it may be harsh to some where I don't notice it.

How much lift? More than with the 600 lb springs and stock front end. I have some droop travel left, but not much.

I have never used spacers, but you have an interesting idea. 4th clip would have less preload, and the spacer would add in any lost lift (not sure there would be any.)

I'm interested to hear how that setup turns out.

 

Hey guys! i installed my 6112s about 2 weeks ago now and i’m pretty sure it settled… i was wondering what cañ i do to get that 1” back up in the front. thanks!

 

What do you guys use as a baseline for the lift? I've got 22&3/4" hub to fender now, but thats on eibach performance coils, so not stock. I forget what my stock numbers were.

 

My stock numbers were 21” and 20 3/4”

 

Ty sir! I have a gen 2 but thats probably the same. My rear is currently 24", trying to bring it close to that!

 

No worries. My stock numbers for the rear were 21 3/4” and 22 1/4” now I think I’m at about 24” with an AAL and the overload in.

 

I have icon RXTs in stage 2 in the rear. Where are you with the 6112 up front?

 

Just added 700lb springs in the front and am at 24” I expect them to settle 1/2”

 

Oh wow! Nice. I ordered the 600s, see how that goes.

 

Should be good.

 

Stock we are around 20 inches for 2nd Gen sport in the front.

Thank you both, hope I get 2&1/2 on my billies!

 

Soooo just finished installing the 6112s. They are really nice! Took off my camberg ucas, stripped cleaned and regreased those as well.

the icon rxt stage two in the rear has me at 24&3/4” hub to fender, and up front with the 6112s I am now 24&1/4”. Absolutely perfect! I am stoked. I know there will be settling but that is awesome. I’ll post up some pics later this evening.

 

Thread worthless etc etc

 

Love those second gens. Always look sick

 

Thank you! She's my baby. Trying to do everything this month to bring her up to maintenance spec, the front shocks needing replacing was one big reason. You can see why in my thread:
