Can you put Bilstein 6112 Coils on Bilstein 5100 shock body?

New member need advice. I have a 2016 Trd Off-road tacoma and have order a set of bilstein 5100 rear shocks and front struts as well as a 1.5 inch add-a-leaf for the back of my truck. I did not want to do the install myself and the shop I took it too said they do not have a spring compressor small enough to change my stock springs to the new 5100’s. I was confused by this from the research that I’ve done and because the bilstein 5100 are made to be able to use stock springs. Anyways at this point I have found some coils from a set of Bilstein 6112 600lb for $125 on FB market and and want to know if those will work on bilstein 5100 struts. Thanks

 

No. 5100's need a coil with a pigtail at the bottom (same configuration as stock coils), and 6112's use a flat ground coil with a larger ID and a different coil seat.

 

Alrighty sounds good

 

Do you have any recommendations on coils that fit the 5100s?

 

There are a lot of options. Stock, Dobinsons, OME, etc. I sell Dobinsons mostly.

All of these will work on 5100's.

How many times do you have to ask the question? Post once and wait. Sheesh.

 

I would go with one of dobinson's coils
