Bilstein 6112- Need Help

Yeah I haven't bothered with any of that.

 

I'm doing my best.

 

Texoma thank you for you reply

I called Bilstein and the guy I talked was not very helpful and actually was very condescending. He said you can't use other springs because that's not what it was designed for, I pointed out that the 5100, that a lot of people use the OME springs and then he got upset and stated that we are not "Engineers". Yes that is true however real world application is what we are talking about and the 5100 popularity is because of its flexibility in real world applications. I called Toytec and they told me the longest spring I could get was 1" longer.

 

Here is pics of the 6112

 

Do you have pics of the top of the assembly

 

Look correct. hmmmm

 

I hope he doesn't have a spacer on top of the assembly

 

That would do it too.

 

@Unchained 5150 My spring looks so much more compressed though. Doesn't it?
Weird.

 

OP, they are going to settle. But not settle 1" - 1.5". More like .5" at most.

 

Here you go

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I have no clue then

 

@GrayMetalic 2015 I see you kept the sway bar. How did that work out? Any issues?

 

The second picture is not right. What is going on there. The nuts aren't down as much as they should. Is that the side you are feeling to be off more than the other?

 

Haven't had any issues with the sway bar so far unless it's causing my very rough ride when going over speed bumps

 

That top bushing looks thick as hell too.

 

Sorry not the best of pictures, but here is my passenger side.
Yeah, the studs are long, I had extras that we used and top hats, blahblahblah......
I just wanted to show you this to compare that top bushing.

 

@GrayMetalic 2015 In that second picture, I don't think the top hat studs are in all the way. There is something about that picture that is setting me off.

 

The 2nd pic is of the driver's side with a 1/4" spacer for the lean.

 

DrFunker with your setup how fast can you go over speed bumps? I read threads where people say it soaks them up?
