Overland Rig: Bilstein 6112/5160 and OME Dakar EL096R

Nice, that looks good OP

 

what notch to you have the 6112's set at?

 

Top on the left, one less on the right to help with taco lean, but it still leans a bit. Maybe should have gone two down on the right? Basically I left it up to 4wheelparts :/

 

No negative comments about them being stiff? id like to crank mine up (currently at the 3rd notch), but i was afraid having them fully preloaded they would ride kinda crappy

 

Feels fine to me but YMMV. I also carry a bunch in the truck so that might be helping. I think they come with lighter springs which is why it’s not too bad.

 

Thanks!

 

Looks good. Need some sliders to use your hi-jack lift

 

haha ya! have been waiting for them... ugh...

 

I am currently looking at this lift as far as the 6112. I see you mentioned being on the top notch on driver side. Are these 2nd gen 6112? I have read that the 3rd gen 6112’s have a sixth notch. In your vid it looks like it’s at 5th notch and u say it’s at top? I only ask because I am really trying to get this dialed in before I purchase. That and am trying to get away without purchasing uca’s. However I will eventually just can’t do it all at once. I am looking for 2” up front after settlement. Thanks for the info!

 

Yea I believe it’s the 3rd gen and on the 6th slot. There’s 5 empty slots below on the driver side; thus the implication is that the actual ring is on the 6th slot. I think you can’t see it because the black circle holding the spring is covering the 6th ring.

Yea I also like this setup because I didn’t want to worry about getting new UCA

 

That’s great! I have the same tires and your set up looks good with the 265’s. I was curious if it would look too small but I feel they look just right.

 

Happy to help. Yea I mean I think bigger tires would look better, but these I feel look fine.

 

But yea just to be sure I got the 265/75 instead of the 265/70 that come stock. They’re one inch longer in diameter than the stock tires.

 

Well it seems they are out of stock everywhere so that sucks.

 

They are a little hard to come by... but that’s a good sign IMO

 

Nice truck!

Looks good!!! Super clean

 

Thanks!

 

How well do the 5160's work with Dakars HD leafs. Confused about how they are able to work together considering the 5160 is rated for 0"-1.5" and the HD's will give you 2.5" of lift.
