headstrong off-road complete kits!

Anyone running this kit? https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/s..._Kit_with_OME_Dakar_Leaf_Pack_(HS16BK-3).html Would love some reviews on it!

 

Those are 6112/5160. A lot of guys are running those on Gen 2 and Gen 3

I run that setup and love it. I upgraded to 650 lb springs due to the weight of skids and bumper. Huge improvement

 

I will probably do the same. Where did you get the spring ?

 

Autoanything.com. Talk to @eccracer104

 

Would be a ton cheeper to buy that from Bilstein direct and a Toytec 1.5-2” AAL

if you call and order you can add the 650 springs and not have to pay for a second set.

 

thank you for saving me money!

 

I’ll send you a pm with where I got mine. They have killer deals

 

you may have missed my edit. Call and order. They will swap the 600 springs for the 650s.

 

I'll take that same PM if you don't mind

 

Can I get this PM as well? Please.

 

Those 5160s are going to limit the flex you could get with the dakars.

 

How bad of a limit? I don't do any crazy crawls

 

If you swapped those 5160s for some B110s then you would get another 2" of travel.

 

Hmmm. Is it common to run 6112 with B110s?

 

I'm sure a ton of guys run it. Just depends on if you want that extra travel back there ... though if you do then you need to add longer rear brake lines as well.

 

If this were the case and they were superior to the 5160 why aren't they offered as an option on any complete kit I have seen? Also the first time I have seen them mentioned as well. Honestly just curious.

 

@HeadStrong Off-Road
You can Email or PM them to see what options they offer. They are a nice couple, and if you like to support small business they offer great customer service from my experience

 

*Assuming you are replying to my comments.*

The 5160 has more fluid since it has a reservoir, which means that in extreme wheeling cases the shocks will stay cooler. But if you are wheeling hard enough for that to really be an advantage then you probably want higher end rear shocks anyway. The B110 shocks just provide more travel allowing for more flex in the rear, which is going to be more useful for everyday wheeling. Plus the B110s are about half the price of the 5160s so you can put that money to other suspension stuff.

 

When you say more travel that would be more down travel and less up travel thus needing more bump stop to keep the shock from bottoming out correct?
