Bilstein 8112 spring rate experiences.

Ordering some 8112s and debating spring rate, thought I’d see what everyone’s experiences have been here. Leaning toward 650lbs FYI: I currently have Icon 2.5 CDCV with standard spring and it feels just right, but I’m not sure what lbs the standard icon spring is, after doing a quick search. Truck isn’t too heavy, but not stock either.
Stats:
- 2012 access cab
- secondary 65amp hr agm in engine bay.
- steel sliders
- pro eagle in bed
- arb twin in bed.
- steel rear bumper
- stock front bumper no winch
- occasionally when camping an additional 200lbs in bed.

any experiences appreciated. Thanks!

 

I have not rode in or installed an 8112 before. But I have installed Hundreds of 6112's in various Toyota's with 600 / 650/ and 700 and I would go with a 600LB for yours because you don't have any over the front extra weight. Keep track of your down travel in the shock so that you have 2-3" of down travel after a lift.

 

Thanks for the input! I consulted with wheel every weekend. They were incredibly helpful, and came to the same conclusion as you, 600lbs. If anyone wants to support the little guys, I can’t say enough good things about them. Revalving them for my application free of charge too.
