Bilstein 6112

Not yet. I took before pictures. I will take after pictures at the same spot (local park), but it snowed today. I will do so in the next day or so.

 

I got a call they were in and then she called me back and said that she made a mistake and they are not in... I am thinking this month??? I hope... I have been waiting since nov and I want to change the front end so bad

 

I wonder what changes there will be for the 3rd gen setup. I'm assuming a higher spring rate. If that's the only change then maybe they will be a good option for a second gen with extra weight up front. Hopefully some info comes out soon as I'm very close up ordering a set.

 

Slightly different valving and spring rate is what I've heard

 

driver 3, pass 2

 

Why? Taco lean or weight? I'm about the get a set. I want 3" up front. But I want to start wheeling more. So I might do a different notch... In going to pair will Dakars and B110 In back

 

Taco lean.

I wrote a lot about my experience on pages 15-16 in this thread. Read back some.

Sweet, I will

 

Good afternoon Everyone,

I figured I would pop in and let you all know that we did get the 3rd gen Tacoma 6112’s in. The price did not change and they will be available on our website either later today or tomorrow. If you needed any assistance with them before they are up on the site just let me know.

 

they are in at headstrong! just came in today

 

Order Placed... Im stoked. Thanks Marie.


No more hitachi front end!!!

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road, have you figured out how the 3rd gen 6112's are different from the 2nd gen version?

 

I will create a write up, most likely tomorrow, and post it up on our vendor page.

Link to 3rd Gen 6112 page.
The photo is of the 2nd Gen 6112, but the part # is the 3rd Gen. We will update the photo when we get a chance.

Installed on Sunday and so far so good. The front feels so much better than stock, night and day difference. Rear is still stock for now and the 6112's are on the 3rd notch with a 1/4" lean spacer. Sits pretty level

 

Just ordered a set of 6112s. 4x4 Acess Cab. Going to shoot for 2" or less until I lift the rear with Dakars. At that point I'll probably go for the top setting and add some Light Racing UCAs.
Right now with all stock suspension I'm at 19.5" front left and right and 21.25/21.75 rear left/right. thats with an All-Pro Apex front bumper and a canopy with maybe another 100lbs in the bed. I have air bags for now that bring the rear up to 22" with 8 or 10 psi.
So now i need to decide where to set the fronts to get me to about 21.5". Im thinking the third notch should do the trick.

 

^^^ Yes. I have 4th notch. It put me above 2.5"

I need tires....

Looking at 255 or 265 sizes for my 17" stock wheels. Don't want to deal with rubbing, cutting, or removing mud flaps. I suppose all that is on the Wheels and Tires Thread.
