Bilstein 6112/5160 in stock?

Hook78 · Feb 28, 2022

Anyone know where to source these right now?

Hook78 · Mar 1, 2022

I found them in stock at Shock Surplus and ordered last night. Hope I don’t regret this as I’ve since found awful reviews online, mostly people who say they were shipped defective parts and got a run around with refunds.

Be persistent. I found King extended with adjusters online had them in hand in ~ 2 weeks. Everybody says the King backlog is 1 year.

We've got a bunch of 5160s in stock here at Hotshot Offroad, but no 6112s. I am sure most retailers are in the same boat as us. Bilstein has not shipped any 6112s at all since early Nov to my knowledge so some of the bigger places may still be hanging onto some stock. We are all patiently awaiting Bilstein's reloads which according to their latest updates should be somewhere between 3/15-3/30 so we're closing in hopefully.

I had started out with Wheeler’s and they were quoting the same as you, mid to late March. Then I called them yesterday with a couple questions, and they mentioned Bilstein has updated their availability estimate to late May.

This prompted the online searching that led me to Shock Surplus, as they didn’t have a bumper stating the 6112s were out of stock or back ordered.

I fully expect to find out later this week that it’s the same with them, in which case I’ll be asking for a refund.

Yeah I hope you get lucky! Shameless plug, but if it doesn't work out we'd always love to help! To add more complication to it Bilstein is also supposedly discounting the current part numbers that we know (and every outstanding we order we have is supposed to automatically ship with the new SKU), but I haven't been able to confirm numbers to update listings. Can't confirm it yet, but I'm guessing that with a new SKU comes a price adjustment.

I was in the same boat about a month ago and got the same answer from a few distributors - second half of March at the earliest.

Wound up going with a Dobinsons setup instead, because it was in stock and has some nicer features compared to Bilstein without a massive jump in price like Fox, Icon, etc.

I wasn’t aware of you guys but I am now! I’d much rather order from a vendor with a presence on TW. Wasn’t an issue to wait until March, but have a trip I’d like to go on before May if that availability update is true.

It's all good! We're not new, but we don't have the presence in the suspension category the same as the big boys! That and our site is limited on suspension options still... All in due time!

Well, Shock Surplus did not actually have the 6112s in stock (or the Icon RXTs). So, starting from scratch.

Anyone have the 6112s? Credit card ready and waiting.

In the exact same boat. Went with shock surplus first then backordered. Went to Yotamafia second as they said they had it in stock, backordered again. Looking at Dobinsons and IronMan FCP now. Both are around the same price range.

I went with the MRA adjustable rear shocks (got a deal on a lightly used pair) and new IMS coilovers with the C59-352 springs, since I'll be adding some weight to the front half of my truck. Haven't installed anything yet, pending good weather, so for now I'm just drooling over them as they occupy my table.
