    It’ll take some time man. I bought my 6112/5160’s from them December 2020 and didn’t receive them until spring 2021. At the time I was 1st in line for the unassembled 6112’s.

    That is interesting, my order was on 11/24 so 3 days later.
    I'm almost ready to cancel my order. It was bad enough that when they told my on the phone at order time the lift kit was in stock vs. Backorder 33 times!
    What really bothers me is that when I called a month later they said spacers were backordered but they agreed to ship the lift kit then.
    So for the second time I'm waiting to receive my order based on sales tactics trying to hide what the situation was to preserve a sale for merchandise they don't have.
    By the third phone call at the 7 week point I still had to drag out of them that they didn't have the shocks and also had to drag out of them that 33 people are ahead if me. They didn't mind charging my card the full amount though.
    So for the last 5 weeks I'm expecting an order that might in actuality be 6 months to a year away?
    At this point I don't even believe I'm 34 on the wait list, why would they start being honest now?

    Thought I would post an update on my odyssey to get a lift kit. So I called wheelers three times in march. The first time I called they said "I was just about to call you", "With a small substitution for a top plate spacer, we can ship your order out on the next business day" they said they had everything ready to go and that the shocks were already assembled. After a week I called again and they said that my shocks were assembled wrong and that they would fix that and ship by the end of the week. I called again in about a week and got a different guy that said they never had the shocks in-stock, that there were no cancellations by other customers that would have been why the stories don't match, and that they don't know when they will be in stock. That was about 3 weeks ago and my order still says in process like it has been since November.

    I totally get the need for patients with supply chain issues, but the shitty lies that the folks at Wheelers Offroad have been feeding me over and over again are just over the top and wanted to vent here :)

    Thought I would post an update:
    5 Months into my wait for a bilstein 6112 lift kit from Wheeler's Offroad and after several inquires, the new estimate they just gave me is end of Aug!
    so after waiting 5 months the answer is you only have 5 months more to wait!

    Hind sight being 20/20, I should have made more than one preorder I guess since I obviously backed the wrong horse.
    I'm probably going to just ask for my money back (they took 100%) but my 2nd choice after the 6112s was the Eibach E86-82-007-01-22 Stage 2 Pro-Truck-Coilover 2.0's which are also backordered until late July.

    Any suggestions on a comparable lift kit that doesn't take 10 months to receive?

    extreme terrain has both 6112 and 5160 in stock a few weeks ago. Sometimes you have to forget the bigger websites and try your luck elsewhwre

    Did you check out Ironman? I’m pretty sure they have kits in stock. If you really wanted the billies, I think I saw recently that @memario1214 posted the he had some… maybe.
    I’ve got the Ironman and really like them. They have a 25% off sale going on right now. Usually you can get 15-20% off when now on sale… though they always have something going on.

    We just took in 10 sets of 6112s on Friday! :cool:

    They’re the 11-position ones that fit 2/3G Tacomas.

    Got it all installed over the long weekend. Happy so far. Wheelers kit (includes break lines, bump stops and diff drop) with regular all-pro leaf pack. I added JBA UCA, and the sway bar kit.


    I used 3/8" top hat spacer on the driver side and a 1/4" on the passenger side.
    Measurements in the same level spot, half a tank of gas, ground to fender:
    Before :
    LF 33 9/16
    LR 35 5/8
    RF 34
    RR 35 5/8

    After with and a little break in (one short trail in the area)
    LF 36
    LR 37 5/8
    RF 36.5
    RR 37 3/4

    Difference:
    LF 2 7/16
    LR 2
    RF 2 1/2
    RR 2 1/8

    So a little less lean than is had stock, and a little more lift in the front than the rear. So far so good.
