Bilstein 6112/5160 + B12 Springs

[dullallday]

I ended up buying from 3 different companies to avoid lengthy back order wait times.

Where did you get the 6112s from? I've been waiting for mine since November.

I had the same thing happen- cancelled that order. Called around and found them in stock at Caliraised Off-road. Purchased over phone and shipped same day. Great experience, will buy from them again.

Has anyone ran the heavy duty 6112s without added weight? I plan on doing front bumper/winch soon just thought I'd ask if it would be too stiff without the weight. Thanks for any input.

I'm in the same boat. I got 6112s with 650lbs springs and I'm still waiting for full skid, slider, slim front bumper. It's going to take a while. Curious to know how is the ride quality without extra weight....

The 600 lb coils ride smooth, almost factory ride without as much diving around corners and while braking. Many kits from King, Icon, Ironman, etc come paired with heavier 650 lb coils. I would think the ride will be a touch more firm but very drivable and less squatting under weight. I wouldn’t change it now, but would happily change out mine to 650’s with no weight, FWIW.

6 month lift report. I’ve put just over 4k miles on, no squeaks, drives is still very smooth. This is a DD, it has seen no serious off road use.
Just took measurements on flat ground and find no settling. Below is before measurement center hub to fender : actual lift achieved - current measurement center hub to fender … current measurement bottom of wheel to fender.

DF 19.5” : +2.25” - 21.75”… 30.625”
PF 19.875” : +2.125” - 22”… 30.875”
DR 21.75” : + 1.25” - 23”… 32”
PR 21.75” : + 1.25” - 23”… 32”

I'm on the list with my local shop for your exact setup; no clue when it will come in but I'll keep the thread updated. I've bounced around to various different lift ideas but a small lift via 6112/5160's seems to be the most viable for me.

Also checkout KMC's Bully OL or Impact OL (Made in USA). Have the same tech as Method Trail Series for keeping bead on at low pressure.

Go with 285/70R17's; lots of tire brand/tread choices (Kenda AT2's are awesome and have 50K mi warranty), minimal to no trimming required (for 0mm offset, more if you go wider or spacers).

5100

i have the 5100s for up front. hoping the 1.75 notch is enough up front to pair with the 1" b12s and 5160s

Hi I was just wondering if you actually finished this build. I already got my 5100s for the front and I set them to the .85. Really close to level but I'm looking to go a little higher in the front in rear. Do you know if 5100 in the front (1.75 setting) and b12 1.5" in the rear is close to level or is there still a rake?

I got around 24” (hub to fender) in rear with the bilstein B12-36281824 and one ome trim spacer on drivers rear. This is with a full tank and sliders. It’s nice to see others getting the same amount of lift as advertised.
