You definitely have a few great choices on Authorized Dealers like us.
The challenge right now is that these are currently on manufacturer backorder.
5th Gen Bilstein 6112, Part #47-259768
5th Gen Bilstein 5160, Part #25-227611
You might be able to find someone who still has these on hand. We sold our last
sets right before Black Friday.
Last update from Bilstein on availability was end of February.
Please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or need help exploring
other options.

Lots of claims about 5160s leaking early. Any actual data? 90day warranty vs lifetime on the 6112 seems odd for a package. Thanks

The Bilstein 6112's are off-road struts with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
The Bilstein 5160's do have a 90-Day warranty against manufacturer defects.
Most of the 5160 claims shared with us are from applications with 2-3" rear coils. Definitely outside of specs.
This would be a great conversation to see leakage on stock coils.
We do typically recommend the ICON Rear Shocks for aftermarket coils at 2-3"

Thanks. That totally makes sense then.

This is where I bought mine. I first posted about it a 2 years ago and they still appear to be the cheapest. If you call and they try to add $20 or so for quicker shipping, don't. Mine were shipped directly from Bilstein and I received them in a few days to a week.

i purchased mine in last month from Chitown 4x4. One of the only places that actually had them since they are still on backorder.

did you get these recently thanks
I have ~45k miles when my 5160s started to clunk and bounce about. The shaft has oil on it so I am not sure if that's expected or if it was actually leaking for a while. I have a 10mm rear spacer. Stock rear coils. Front up ~1.6". It's not the end of the world because they are fairly cheap, it just sucks they are back ordered.
Any word on why they are back ordered for so long? Do you know if they are making improvements? I actually have an order in place with you that I have been patiently waiting on. I hope Bilstein gets their act together!
