Bilstein 6112/5160 setups

Here’s mine. 2018 DCLB TRD OR. I have the 6112s set on the highest notch and Icon UCAs. 5160s in the back with Icon AAL. It’s been about a year on this setup and it has been awesome. The only thing is sometimes I pull a small raft trailer, and sometimes with my motorcycle on a hitch carrier too and when it’s all loaded up it sags a bit more than I’d like. So I am wondering if I should add some airbags or just different leaf springs. I wouldn’t mind a bit more rake but I do like the way it rides when I’m not towing.







Here it is before and after the lift

 

Are you guys putting new bump stops on with this set up?

 

I did not

 

I ended up putting in new bump stops...Perry Parts. But, you really don't have to. It's a want, and not a need with this set up.

 

what wheels and tires do you have

 

16x8 method 0 offset tires geolander G003 255/85/16 Yokohama. I recently changed suspension huge upgrade

 

Thanks! Nice setup. Looks great.

 

Thank you

 

This is exactly what I'm looking at doing. How has it held up? Any other pictures with this setup (if you've changed)?

I like it, makes me question my 275/70/17 choice.

 

Thanks! Funny enough when I first got these tires the dread of not going with 275s set in and I was bummed. I like these though they’re way more capable Offroad than I anticipated after seeing them for the first time!

 

Any rubbing that you've noticed? I am considering those same tires.

 

No rubbing, but my cab mount is chopped and the pinch weld is beaten. I don’t think it would matter though these tires would have plenty of clearance without those mods done. 0 offset wheels are ideal for this tire size.

 

I thought the forum wisdom was that the stock OR wheel was optimal for skinny 33’s. I’d be happy to learn otherwise. I’m getting pretty close to needing to pull the trigger on new tires and will do skinnies. There’s a bigger selection of these tires on a 17” wheel than for 16”. But very few wheel options in 17” match the offset of the stock OR wheel.

 

When I was researching and in the market for new wheels and tires the consensus was anything positive offset all the way down to 0 offset was ideal for skinnies. I went with aftermarket wheels for a few reasons. I wanted to jump up to a 17 while gaining a bit wider of a stance with 0 offset as opposed to a +4 or (whatever the stock OR wheels are), and I wanted a wider wheel all together and one that was black. The “skinny on skinny tires” thread is kind of all over the place, some people fit them this way some people fit them that way. Everyone has a different experience. I just sent it with my set up and it’s working out well.

 

Highest clip setting?

 

Yessir

 

It looks like you are lifted and with the CMC and 0 off set you could go a lot wider if you wanted to
