Bilstein 6112

Going to have to get it on more level ground but it's right around 23" up from on both sides and 24" out back.

That's with 3/4 of a tank of gas and just my edc in the back (decked with some tools and gear) and the smartcap.

 

not too shabby. smart going with opt 3 and just being done with it. I dicked around with lesser settings before going to opt 3 and Im happy with how it turned out

 

finally installed mine with the 10/8 setting and 1.5 icon AAL rear. grinding that damn rivet bolt down without setting something on fire was time consuming. No more nose dives on parking lot bumps,

 

How much lift did you get on the 10/8 settings?

 

1.75 inches in the front with full skids and sliders, 1.5 in the rear, c4fab bumper and winch to be installed which i'm expecting to eat that extra quarter inch. of note, the shock ears on the A arms were tightened down from factory to the point they bent inward ~ 3/8 inch. releasing the bolt to remove the original shock/coil, they returned to straight. at the recc'd 64 ft lbs with 6112's the ears did not bend.

 

Truck looks great!! Love the rake.I’m running option 3 as well and love it. I still retain rake when loaded. No one likes a saggy ass LOL

 

Looking for some guidance here. I'm currently running 5100's with OME 886 springs and looking to upgrade to 6112's. I currently have just over 2" of lift. I'm debating on getting the 600 vs 650# coils. I currently have a front steel skid and rock sliders. I plan on adding a roof rack, and eventually a slimline front bumper. My question: go with the 600# coils at max perch, or 650# coils at a lower perch? What are the pros and cons of these options? I really don't want to lose any lift which is why I'm leaning towards the 650# coils.

 

I would definitely get 650 coils. Settings is very subjective. For me I’m at 6/6 1/4” spacer for lean on 650 coils. Running full steel skid package , sliders. Ride is great for me no complaints. Also in future I plan on adding a hidden wench You also could put the settings lower and add a spacer. Any way you choose you’ll be happy.

 

You’ll need the 650’s for sure.

I’m on 600’s at 6/6 with a 1/4” spacer with just sliders and my truck leans towards the driver side. I am gonna toss in another 1/4” shim.

FWIW, I have 650’s in the garage ready to toss in when I add a winch or skids etc. any additional weight from what I have and you’ll definitely need stiffer springs. You don’t want to ride on top of the shock-only using the spring. That was my biggest worry and why I didn’t go to 650’s

 

Leaf pack still going strong bro

 

Hell yeah

 

Good Morning, Im planning on getting 6112/5160 kit with AAL on a 2017 TRD 2wd short bed. I currently have a leveling kit 2.5 front 1.5 rear and have 265/70/17 KO2's. Will the truck sit about the same with the kit as it does now height wise? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

 

I am on the 650# coils with the 6112s set at 5/6 and I am at 22" hub to fender with silders, full skids, and a steel front bumper and winch.

Side note:
I am at 24" in the rear with the RXTs on option 2. When I get the warfab phantom rear bumper in a couple more months I will see if the rear sags any and decide if I want to go to option 3 on the RXTs and if I want to add 1/4" spacers up front to get to 22.5". When I tow the rear squats about 1" on option 2 and raised the front another 0.5" so I have maintain 1.5" of rake to be level when towing.

 

Clear coating today

 

What are you clearcoating with?

 

Same stuff I used when I did the tundy 6112/5160’s

still looked newish when I traded truck off 3 years later.
