Rear suspension

Just picked up some 6112 and dirt king uni balls for the truck and was looking at rear springs. I noticed the that the 5160 were for 0-1.5" and the all pro springs are 3" lift. What are you guys running? Thank

 

With that combination you're going to be topping out in the rear a lot, and your shocks will need replaced often (since 5160 aren't rebuildable).

For the time being, I have 5160 with Icon AAL, but in the near future will be going to a shock with more travel, a full leaf pack, and shackles/hangers.

 

Im sure you can look at bilsteins website for a 5160 meant for your needs, if others don’t offer dimensions on their website.
I’m running them for my stupid tall Hawaii style lift

In the end, I know for a fact they make the size you need. Lemme do some digging

Identical to what accutune lists on their website, which is listed for 2-3” lift.

I just picked that Fox shock since it gives the collapsed, extended length and travel lengths and looked for something comparable with Bilstein. It’s also rated 2-3” of lift. Of course, with the amount of lift changing you’ll adjust accordingly (say you want 3.5” rear lift for some rake or something)

You’ll also have to do something about your bumpstops to make sure you don’t over compress your shock.

 

My plans for the rear are shock mount relocation, hammerhead shackles and and the all pro 3" rear leafs. That's including the ubolt flip and either timberen or superbump. Obviously not all at once but as time goes

 

Hmmm I see…
I’m not too familiar with the hammerhead shackles, I have archive garages hangers. So I’m not sure what those hammerheads will do for your droop.
I’d say if it does affect it, that’s the time to really do measurements and buy the shock then.
I’d hate to see you buy twice

Got a link for the shackles?

 

Yeah sorry they are the archive garage hammer hanger kit

 

That's the final. Went with the all pro 3"kit. Went with the expedition springs. Definitely love the ride the spring have. Ended up maxing out the 6112s to match. Went with the timberen bumpstops and love them as well

 

Always loved that color. Looks good!
