Bilstein 6112 questions. Post your pictures.

[Jtorral]

So, spoke with Bilstein support today. Want to raise the front of my 21 trd orp about 1.5 inches or so. They said I don't need anything for the rear.

My concern is that leveling without a rake will blind people with my lights.

Anyone take this approach?

Should I just raise the front 2 inches and be done? I have 265 ko2 don't want to look funny with toomuch wheel well showing.

If you have the 6112's on 265vsize tires, would love to see images.

If headlight beam is your biggest concern, you can adjust projector height on the housing with a screen driver

You know your headlights have adjustments, don't you?

I did exactly that on my 2014. Raised it 2 inches on the front, didn't raise the rear.

Your truck will not "look funny".
Measure the space between the top of the tire / wheel well on the rear.... then look at the front.

Not trying to talk you into anything, but it sounds like you want someone to convince you.

Recently I got 6112 installed on my 2020 ORP KDSS. I used clip on second notch and this lifted the front by 1.4 inches. I had to adjust the lights to get them focus correctly as mentioned by other messages.
Love the look (almost no rake) and the ride is awesome.

Did you need realignment?

How did you target for light adjustment?

Thanks

I added 2 inch Dobinson springs to the rear with my 6112/5160 setup, and it level. If you like the front higher just adjust your headlights down a little.

This is all I can think you will look like. Carolina squat, image courtesy of google.

I would do the .85" lift if doing nothing in the rear, anything more will look goofy. Especially when you put things in your trunk and it sags even more.

Yes, I did get the alignment. For the light adjustment, I marked light beam height on the wall keeping it close to the wall. Then moved the truck back 25 feet and marked the light beam. I then adjusted the light to focus 1.5 to 2 inches lower than the marking done closer to the wall. After the adjustment I took the truck for a drive around to check the beam focus. Had to do all this in the evening.

There are YouTube videos regarding adjusting the light focus height
