Thanks! I may have created a wrong impression, I am not having any issues at all but rather a learning experience. Cinder Hills is very unusual terrain and they still performed far better than stock. Yesterday, we drove a variety of dirt road terrain, including a high clearance dirt road. The 6112s were perfect in both performance and comfort. That was the kind of terrain I really wanted to see the 6112s in.

I did call Billstein and they all seem to check out. The springs do have the FJ part number but they said that FJ and 4R springs are both 14" and 600lb.

So all is good! I don't think I will learn much more till the winter though.

Does anyone know if the increased height with the 650lb coil is including the extra weight(80-150lb) or without weight. Trying to get 2 in of lift with 120lb front weight. Is that setting clip 3 or 4 with the new 650lb coils? May need to call bilstien tomorrow.

Do you still have the sale price on the springs?

I have FJ TRD pro suspension on my 4runner. I was thinking about upgrading to a c4 lopro bumper with winch. Is this spring going to achieve additional lift of .7”?

I also have a cornfed 1.5” spacer on it... can I still use the spacer or is the added height and # just going to help with the additional weight?

47-284142 has 700 lb springs and has a lot more control in the valving. and yes it will work on 4th gen 4runners

So, is the 6112 spring really 600lb?
Does the 6112 shock have a really good internal bump stop or whatever the correct technical term is?
.
It took forever, and I have been on 650lb springs for more than a year, but I can now answer my own questions.

1/ No, the 6112 standard spring is not 600lb. It is max 550.

2/ The 6112 strut is indeed quite capable.

Also, the 8112 uses the same spring as the standard 6112. That does not necessarily mean the softer spring makes the 8112 need the 650 for more serious offroading as it does with 6112. I have to drive the 8112 to see how the three-zone design would work with the softer spring.

After taking video, going slow-mo and taking measurements to scale, using the 6112 on 650, and getting the factory front bump stops fully compressed,

I will venture a guess that the 650 lb will be necessary even with the 8112 (for higher speed desert, not for anything else).

There is more dampening and bottom out control with the 8112, but the 650 is our preferred spring for it.
