Bilstein 6112/5160 + B12 Springs

I have done it and may be the first ever, maybe not, to have installed Bilstein 6112/5160 with their new Bilstein B12 springs.

47-259768 6112 front

25-227611 5160 Rear

53-291387 Front strut Spring. This is supposed to be 14" 650b spring for an additional 80-140 pounds of front weight. It only works with the 6112 strut. Some info states it lifts an additional 0.5" but when I called Bilstein they said it does not lift an additional 0.5". I was told to use the original clip settings so get the desired lift height with the additional front weight. I wanted 2" with additional weight so that's circlip #4 for my kdss vehicle per the instructions. I have stock 6112 coils which are 600lb and 14" i think that I try to sell off later.

36-281824 Rear springs. These are supposed to lift an additional 1.5" in the rear without additional weight. They have a 1" lift spring option but no one has it and its on back order until nov or something.

I just finished the lift and no weight on the front yet but the rear seems to have gained 2"+ eyeballing it. The front with out the winch and winch bumper is also super high about 3in. The winch and winch bumper should be about 130lb total. I haven't driven the vehicle as it still needs to be aligned but ill provide some feed back on ride quality. I have been told that the suspension needs to "settle" or "break in". Is this true? I did realize that I don't have pre-lift height measurements, I was too excited to get started I totally forgot. Ill get measurements post alignment and post winch/winch bumper plate install, then measurements again 500-1000 miles later to see the difference. I hope it does settle, it looks like I have 3" front and back now. Im keeping stock 265/70/17 tires, and stock UCA. Ill get some pics up.

winch bumper- C4 Fab lo pro, bed lined in black, all sides.
Winch- Smittybuilt X02 comp 10K, synthetic line
