Currently have the 6112/5160 setup with Wheelers T13 1.5" rear springs and OME 10mm spacers for the rear, fronts set at 2.5". Been on the 4runner since Dec 2020 and 17k miles roughly. One of the 5160 leaked within the first month, took 2 or 3 months to get a refund under warranty. Replaced...
Thanks! Must of missed your pic from other threads. I am at 2.5" lift on clips 7 and 5 with the Bilstein 6112s.
How many miles do you have on that setup?
Anyone else running this setup or even know if these are compatible? If so, what’s you’re overall thoughts on them?
I’ve found some pics of the Eibach kit with the Ironman UCA, but not with the Bilsteins. Thanks in advance!
That sucks to hear that. More I dive into the bilstein warranty process and reading on all these failures, the more unimpressed I am. I could afford the $190 replacement 5160, but it sucks just waiting to hear back. Its been 32 days since I've shipped them out. ADS are nice but they are pricey...
Good to know. I havent thought about icons, but will running icons in the rear which are linear i believe have issues with the 6112s that are digressive?
Also according to your info, I am at 1.5" in the rear with the first failure then added a 10mm trim spacer on the second failure, so I...
Thanks for the clarification. Too late now to rotate it since its already leaking, but I will be mindful in the next install.
Also from a quick google pic search on "4runner 5160", seems to be most people have the hose fitting installed similar to mine, maybe the Pro part vs the 5160 is a bit...
Which OME shock did you go with? Nitrocharger Sports? Are you running 6112 in the front and OMEs in the back and how many miles or months have you been on that setup? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the insight. Not sure what you mean by the "reservoir fitting pointed directly at the upper shock mount gusset on the frame"...are you talking about the round ball/hose part that goes from the top of the shock needs to be angled down more. In any case, I will pay attention and twist...
I read about some people having failures on their 5160s, but decided to go with them anyways and thinking it wouldn't happen to me. Well....its happened twice on driver side in 4 months/5k plus miles of ownership. A total of 2 moderate off road trails on the first set and 1 easy off road trail...
Reviving an old thread since I came here to find some insight on whats going on with my 5160s and decided to share as well.
Ive had two leaking 5160s on the same driver side now.
12/5/20: installed 6112 on circlips 7/5 per bilstein instructions to get 2.5" lift and 5160 with Wheelers T13...
I just installed the front and rear turn signals last week and they are super bright and I have been momentarily dazed if I happen to be staring right at it when unlocking from the rear lol
I had some issues with install of the rear that I had to remove the whole tail light assembly to fit the...
