Who's running 2nd gen Bilstein 6112/5160s?

Hey guys (and gals),

I did a ton of digging through old threads and saw some people running 2nd gen Bilstein 6112/5160s on our 3rd gens since the 3rd gen bilsteins aren't out yet.

Anyone having issues with the springs sagging or settling more over time?

@Threerun was until he decided to trade his TurdGen in for a Silverado

bump.

 

When will Bilstein release the third gen 6112 and 5160? I want them

 

No idea...I'm on the list for people who want to get them from Headstrong; but no release date unfortunately. If the 2nd gen 6112s dont sag over time I would just get them instead of waiting forever for a lift.

 

I'm not in the market for a lift right now, but I think I might be when they finally release them....

 

Kind of where I'm at.

 

Good afternoon All,

I wanted to let you know that we received our first batch of the 3rd gen specific 6112's. They will be up on our site shortly but if you have any questions in the meantime don't hesitate to ask.

 

whoa, I didn't know they had these in the works. I last heard that they were hoping for late summer 17

Are the bodies and shafts both 1/2 inch longer due to the 1 inch taller ride height of the third gen?

 

I haven't had a chance to fully inspect them but I will create a write up of the differences of them and post it like I did the 5100's. Should be tomorrow some time by the time I can get it all done. I will post it to our vendor page.

 

Will there be a 3rd gen specific 5160?

 

No. The rear shocks have remained the same.

 

Awesome! Can't wait! Does anyone know the spring rate of these 3rd gen 6112s though?

 

I have 2nd Gen 5100 on 3rd Gen.

 

600lb still.

 

Looking forward to the writeup!

 

Sub'd for info

 

Running 2nd gen 6112's & 5160's for the last 6 months... no issues.
