Bilstein 6112

Alright guys so I’m curious if anyone is set up similar.

A couple weeks ago I installed 6112’s (Bilstein stock 600lb coils) on 5/4 perch and rear 5160’s without any blocks or leaf springs.

From center hub to fender I’m at 22 inches all around,
With the 5/4 setting I’m supposed to gain 1.5 inches but I only gained one. Does that seem right to anyone?

 

Right above your post same settings
What was your before measurements? Before my lift I measured a few Rigs at the dealer. Have a buddy that works there. A lot of them measured under 21 hub to fender and 34 7/8” ground to fender. A lot of members say 21” every truck will be different IMO.

 

Unfortunately I forgot to measure it before smh but did notice a lot say 21” I guess I just don’t notice a difference from before lol even though I know it’s supposed to only be 1.5 inches of difference. Here was before with just new tires a week after I got her

 

IMO I think your good.

 

Thanks! I am gonna lift it more eventually I guess I'm just over thinking that half inch lol

 

I did the same thing.Don’t sweat it. Let the 6112’s do there thing stick to there specs.

 

I like the way it looks man! Nice job, I think it’s noticeable from my perspective

 

Thank you! I appreciate that!

 

Anyone have picts of their 3rd gen with 6112s on 5th and 6th notch and 3 leaf progressive AaL in the rears without overload leaf?

 

im on 6/6 with a 10mm drivers side lean spacer and an icon 3 leaf AAL. It leans a bit, its baddd when its loaded. getting a full leaf pack soon

 

Wanted to chime in and mention that it looks like Bilstein is changing up their 6112s for the 3rd gen tacomas. Now instead of 6 clip positions, the new design will have 11 clip positions. New part number is 24-309981. This information was confirmed by Bilstein and the Wheelers.

 

hang on, whats the point of even having clips 1 and 2 if we are not to use them? seems like the Bilstein engineers are trying to fix something thats not broken making things more "universal" and causing more confusion or problems

 

Picture of the new Bilstein 6112

 

Yeah, I ordered them expecting them to come with 6 clips and the clips positioned at 6/5 for achieve a 2" lift. They arrived with 11 clip positions but were preassembled at clip 6/5 and will give me ~0.4" lift. Not sure why the change now and why the retailer's website wasn't updated to reflect these changes. Also not sure if I should send these back and try to find a set with 6 clip positions or just rock these.

 

Definitely a little weird that a supposedly vehicle-specific shock would have circlip slots that are not to be used with any Tacoma.

 

looks pretty good.. almost the same just different sticker

 

looking at the provided mounting instructions again, although clips 1-4 aren’t compatible with Tacoma’s, they are compatible with the 03-09 4Runners.

 

so this is a universal application.. "applicable for most, perfect for nothing"

 

Bump....

Still trying to find this info. Best I can find is total travel 4.64" Currently at 21.5" on clips 5/4 with 600 lb springs running BAMF sliders (180 lbs) and BAMF full skids (200 lbs). I am adding a BAMF hybrid bumper (145 lbs) and winch (75 lbs) in a couple months. I am hoping to be at 22.5" hub to fender. I am thinking if I go to 6/5 and 650 lb coils that would raise me 1" but adding the weigh of the bumper will bring me back down some. I am considering 6/6 with 1/4 top spacer on drivers side but I don't want to bottom out the shock on compression. I currently have the wheelers superbumps.
