So a few months back I bought an a battery for my 4runner and it has been working great. Its winter now so it's been sitting outsidefor about a month and has been cold down to 10f at night. I go to unlock it and and nothing. I manually open the door put the key in and zero lights come on! I jump...

Bilstien 6112 Strut Springs E4-FD1-Z005B50. Condition is New. These are the springs from bilstien b8 6112 47-259768 kit. I had to get a different set of springs because of extra front steel bumper weight. 110 shipped to CONUS

Plastic is 1/8" thick. The width of your trim depends on you. I think I used 5/8 width or 9/16.

Kyb fits the trail. I have them on my 2013 trail even though the websites say they are not suposed to fit. I have front 6112 struts. The stock nuts look better built than the provided kyb top nots though. Kyb Bushings are exact same dimensions as stock.

It was my understanding that the rear dobinson coil is 1.5" lift on 4runner and 1.75" on fj cruiser when I spoke to them. I had planned to use dobinson but their front would not fit the 6112 struts. I wanted to keep both springs the same manufacturer

Just got back from vacation, up loaded some pictures and the alignment specs. Caster is close enough to 4 degrees on stock uco and it handles better than pre aligment. Did have to replace the lca, had to be cut out due to frozen bolts, what a bich. I took post lift height measurement and post...

I would like a prinsu rack but some bad reviews have me reconsidering. An arb awning also on the list.

I have the 6112 with the 650lb bilstein coils on the 4th setting with 10k winch and c4 fab winch bumper and there is more than 2" of lift. I havent driven the truck yet so i dont know if it will settle down. when i put the winch and bumper on, the front height hardly changed. I was told that the...

Just did my lift with 6112/5160, bilstein b12 1.5 rear coils and biltein b12 650b front coils. For me, detaching LCA arm and lower bushing was the easiest, that plus loosening the LCA alignment tabs. I did remove the kdss end bracket, one side at a time and i used a ratchet strap on the kdss...

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.

way to go, the codes have all been used up! I received an email that so many codes got used the site crashed! I was going to use but apparently the coupon is no longer active. :(

I had the same question last week and asked Toyota dealer. It does cost like $300 for a replacement. BUT you can get one for $34 but no push buttons just the chip and key. The guy said it can be purchased at the counter for $34 but then there is a programming fee of $20. OR I could come in as...
