Anyone with experience in comparison of Bilstein 5100 vs 6112 in ride quality?

Texas_Ranger · Jan 8, 2019

I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience between the 5100 and the 6112 ride quality in our trucks. I have the 5100 now and was curious to see if the upgrade is worth it and what feedback is out there on the 6112. I still plan on using the 5100 on the rear since there have been so many issues with the leaky 5160's. But any feedback is greatly appreciated.

In curious to hear if others have moved from Bilstein 5100s to 6112s.

I'm having a hard time finding the 6112 without the eibach spring, thinking I can just use the spring from my toy tech setup. Anyone able to find them?

I switched from 5100's to 6112's.

I went from a level with the 5100's to level +1", so 1.75" in the front and 1" in the rear with the 6112's, also switched the rears to 5160's. I wanted a bit stiffer ride and I was hoping the new springs that came with the 6112's would do that but not really. They do ride a little stiffer then stock but not a huge amount. My FJ had an Old Man Emu setup on it with medium springs and I love the way it rode and handled. I probably didn't need these but they are extremely well made and ride great, the only change I would make would be different springs but that's just me.
