Installed rear extended travel 5100's(F4-BE5-B110-T5)

No, his axle is jacked up on stands too. Possibly compressed a little and he might not even have a full leaf pack with 2.5-3” of lift. Even so.again I would recommend the +4.

Also, the b110 shocks ride great. Noticeably better than my 5125’s but it could be placebo effect. They just feel better on and off road.

 

Great. Didnt catch that, +4 it is. Placebo or not on quality, excited to get that droop. Thanks man.

 

@singletrack_ftw @Sje1124 @Crom @PerfectTekniq @Incognito @Zac808 and anyone
I went to install mine today and they would not fit in the lower mount on my 2015. They were 1/8" wider than the aftermarket shocks I was replacing (which fit perfectly). See photo. What the fuck???????

 

Where did you order from? That’s very weird and interesting. FWIW when I installed my 5125’s I had to bend the factory lower shock mounts a little bit open in order to fit the bushing in there. And I also had to grind down a little of the bushing on the 5125. The b110’s didn’t give me any trouble. Call whomever you ordered them from and show them the pic

 

Thanks. I am going to bend them open more and try again tomorrow. I thought about grinding down the bushing. how did you do it and keep it even?

 

I wasn’t too worried about it being perfect. I remember using a dremel on each side of the 5125 bushing. Again, my b110’s went in easily but I pre-bent the lower shock mounts with the last time I put the shocks in so you probably just need to coax them a little bit

 

My B110s slipped in perfectly - no bending or grinding was needed.

 

I know the 2015 shock mounts changed a bit and others have to grind down the mounts for OME to fit.

I ended up bending the shock mounts out using nut/bolt technique. It helped but still wouldn't fit. Moved onto a die grinder to take a few millimeters of the protruding bushings. Got the passenger side in. Same with driverside got it in but the body of the shock was touching one side of the mount. Angle grinded that down like other 2015 folks do to fit OME .. touched it up with paint. Letting it dry so got on TW. In a bit I will remount it and be done.

 

Feels cush! Once I get my extended brake lines I'll flex it out and report back.

 

Some good write ups on here with lots of nice info. I ordered U-bolt flip with Timbren Bumps, OME Dakars standard leafs, +2 brake lines (if I need more wiggle room i'll do the spacer mod), and Bilstein b110 5100 (everything from wheelers off road). I will be slapping everything on in the coming weeks and will post info/pics if anyone else needs more reassurance on this matter.

 

Just installed the B110’s w/Dakar HD packs, u-bolt flip kit, super bumps, 3* shims and 4” extended brake lines...I’m stoked on this set up and can’t wait to take it off road.

 

Don’t mind the surface rust. The standard load Dakar’s are plush and flex great with the b110s (I do run a topper 75% of the time). Running timbren bumps with right at 3” of up travel before they make contact with the seat. Running +2 lines with some washers stacked for the bracket spacer mod as you can see. Lines are lose even at full droop. Everything will be put to the test on the Red Clay Rally at the end of the month!

 

wondering anyone paired these shocks with some Deaver stage III rear leaf springs?

 

I'm running them with Stage 1 Deavers.

 

Thinking about getting F4-BE5-B110-5 Has anyone pulled a camper with these shocks. If so how do they handle the weight. Camper probably 3,000 lbs. fully loaded

 

Seriously considering this setup but unsure if the 5125s are a better fit.

 

I just installed one Dakars medium pack with extra leaf so it's a heavy now and the b110’s. Only been a few days but the ride is great. Got the lift I needed to get back after my shell caused my old set up to sag. My bump stops are the GMC 1500 bumps with 3 u bolt washers ash spacers mounted to the frame over my u bolt flip kit.

 

They’re tundra shocks. Will deal with a 3000lb camper perfectly fine
