Bilstein 6112

Nice rig. What are you running in the back and what are the settings? How much does your shell weigh?

 

Rear-Deaver 402 Stg1 w/Bilstein 5160

Front-Bilstein 6112 set at 5/4 w/Bilstein UCAs

Smartcap-180#

 

Thanks this really helps me make up my mind. I have everything in just waiting on UCAs. Been debating like mad on settings and kept thinking I wanted to bigger but I have made up my mind. Going with:

• 6112s on 10/8 for 1.7" (I have the newer version)
• Icon RXT Option 2 for ~1.75" with 5160s

I have a little bit more added weight but nothing crazy, no steel bumpers or steel skids or winch planned, and I think I will get slightly less than posted prob between 1.5" and 1.75". Then I plan to get 265/75/16's for another 0.5" overall and to fill in the wheel wells a bit more. Leaning towards Falken Wildpeak AT3W SL rated model.

 

2” front icon option 2 bed empty about 2” of rake loaded down still have rake

 

Your info over the last few weeks has been a big help as well. Appreciate it.

 

No problem bro glad I could help

 

Are you sure you are on 5/4? From the pics you posted, it looks like your driver side is set to 4. Setting 4/3 is 1" lift.

 

Yeah by his pic provided it looks like 4 on the driver side.

 

Im bro nosed to the MOON on 6/5 right now and want mine level. Im told 4/3 is the way. But his truck looks my idea of level. So his post confused me. I have to go back to the shop to do this and I dont want to be an ass asking them to do this 3 times..lol.

 

I would honestly measure from the center of the hub to the bottom of the fender on all four wheels. Then decide where you want to be. That's kind of what I did. Of course I had 5100s on the fourth perch when I started so the 5/4 was right where I wanted it.

 

Mine is 23 front and 22 rear. I want it 22 all around. So I need to drop it an inch. Which is 4/3 according to the manaul. But his post and comment about being on 5/4 threw me off. Thats why Im asking. I go back tomorrow to get it fixed and want to make sure I know what number to use. My gut says its 4/3 to look like his does.

 

Swaybar is to the right in this pic, so this is the passenger side.

 

Yup Passenger set at 4 setting

 

@OmahTako is running Deaver 402 leaf springs that are advertised for 2" of lift with 400 lbs of constant load. That is why he still has rake on 5/4.

 

UGH! Well crap. I thought 4/3 was the way to go. But now Im worried I will have factory rank doing that. @AzChino520 stance looks perfect to me. So maybe I do need to do 5/4.

 

He said above he running stage 1. 2" with 0-300 pounds. What is unknown is what he netted out to with the 180# topper. I don't know enough to about Deavers to know.

Lets say he is getting 2" on the back and the front, if he really is one notch lower than 5/4, he gets 1" in front.

He would have ~1.5" of rake.

I doubt he is running stage 2 Deavers or he'd be a mile high in the rear and it would ride like mad.

 

Yeah the picture I posted was from the passenger side and I am on perch 5 driver, perch 4 passenger. on paper should be 1.5 inches of lift but I forgot to measure before I added the lift so I can't confirm it but I'm at 22 inches all around.

I wanna go higher but I also love the ride quality without maxing anything out with this setting

 

Thanks for confirming. I’m on 6/5 and mine is 23” driver and 23 1/4th passenger.

My rears are 22”

I think the stick Offroad is 20.5”ish


So your fenders are 22” all around on 5/4?

 

If that's the stock measurement then I did get a 1.5 inch lift and yeah from hub to fender on all 4 corners is 22 inches on 5/4 setting
