    Bilstein offers their own optional 650lb springs for these shocks. With just a winch and bumper you can gain another 3/8” in lift at the highest setting over the the standard setup. Got mine through Headstrong. Loved this combo before I decided to move up to the BP51 coilovers.

    I have a hidden winch mount with an x20 10k. I still got at least the advertised lift on 6/5. I was an inch low on stock springs due to weight. It’s still early, but the 600# seem ok so far. I didn’t realize there was a 650# option when I ordered or would have gone that way. It sits well now though and got a little over 2” up front. My profile pic was before lift FYI.

    So I went with:
    Pre assembled 600# Coil on the 6112/5160 and ordered a 1” Eibach block for the rear.

    I want a slight rake/ almost level look.

    I have no extra equipment on the truck. Looking for the potential for weekend off roading and ride quality.
    Is it safe to say I will get all 2” up front?

    I'm going around in circles here and was hoping for clarification on which springs (part numbers appreciated) I should be getting for my 6112's.
    I've added a winch and bumper, so roughly 150+ lbs plus sliders, skids, roof rack etc, so maybe another 400#s and lost quite a bit of height. I currently have the stock 600# springs right now and want to get back up to the roughly 2" of front end lift I had pre-fatty.
    Are the 14" 700# kings and other 14" too much lift for the shocks and tops them out?
    I have no desire to do the spacer thing.
    Thanks

    Thanks. That's what I was thinking, but confirmation is appreciated

    That isn't a selling point to me.

    Got a question on spring size. 5100’s are just under 2in body dim., 6112’s are just over 2.5in body dim. Will stock 6112 600lb springs work on 5100 bodies? Just asking, I honestly do not know, from photos, it looks like they might because they have the same size spring seat at the bottom, or am I wrong?

    No. 6112s both ends are flat. 5100s one end has the pig tail

    Your choice you can either put 650/700lb springs. You can obly fit 14” coil. That or put a small 1/4 or 1/2 spacer.

    I put eibach 650 when mine sagged at the time, and gained back what i lost.

    What is the length of the stock Offroad (3rd Gen) 4600 stock springs? Are they shorter?

    I have a 2021 Offroad stock. For added weight I have:
    • 150 pounds of rock sliders (assume this weight is somewhat evenly distributed in front and back)
    • 200 pound topper (mainly weight in back)
    • 45 pound Prinsu rack
    I don't plan on additional weight beyond this and I'm looking at getting a 1.5" lift in front with 6112s in front and in back B 5160 in back with Icon RTX leaf pack option 2 which should give me about 1.75" with the added weight so I will have a small amount of rake.

    If the 6125 is 600# but longer than the 700# spring on the stock 4600 springs, does it essentially end up the same? (I am assuming what I read is right, 4600 is 700# and 13"(?) and 6125 is 600# and 14"(?).

    With RXT set to lift you 1.75" rear, what are you trying to accomplish for front height? Completely level, rear rake, how bout front weight like bumper winch and skids?

    1.5" in front as stated above. I believe it is the 4th and 5th clip on the 6112. This would give me a small amount of rake and then level out when I go camping with some gear in back (I am a light camper).

    No significant additional weight planned. Simply partially concerned the 600# springs with the 6112s might sag too much. Really out of my experience level here.
