B12 question
I’ve seen mixed reviews from the overall lift gained from the b12 springs from bilstein.

I will be running the 6112/5100 combo and using the #3 setting for 1.7” in the front. My goal is to run 285s, reduce rake to the most level position, and retain the most comfortable/stock like ride.

Would the 1.5” be the move? Or would the 1” with the #3 setting be what I need for my situation?

Thanks

B12s are great. T13s were a disappointment.


Bilstein 36-281824 - Bilstein B12 Special Coil Springs. (They sell 3 versions total)



Those gave me right at 2in settled both sides in the rear on a 4x4 model with king 2.5s all around



I don't think there's a better option if you're close to stock weight (aka no rear steel bumper). Maybe a DOBINSONS but I'm happy with the B12.

Thanks for responding. The 824 you mentioned are the “1.5”” they list. Will running those still give me a rake? I don’t want to go over 1.8” in the front

Yup the 36-281824 would be their 1.5" lift spring. 36-281817 would be their 1" in our experience the rear of the 4runners sit about a 1" higher in the rear so if you want to be about level with 2" in the front I would go with the 36-281817
