Bilstein 6112s IN STOCK & Now Shipping from Total Automotive Performance - T4R GB!!!!

[JWS]

Has anyone installed this setup on a 2014/15 Limited yet? The 6112/5160s ?

How does this setup compare to the stock x-reas setup? I find with the x-reas the truck handles well with little body lean in corners and less nose diving than the Trail Edition (my brother has a trail), however can be a little harsh on rough roads.

Is it worth ripping out the stock setup? I went with the Limited because this is my wife's daily driver to chauffeur the kids around so I had to make her happy! However, like most on here are not impressed with the wheel/tire setup Toyota went with.

So with researching a new wheel/tire setup I am now intrigued with the Bilstein shocks.

I like the fact that I can get a small lift in the front with the adjustable settings. My winter tires rubbed a little (265/70/17 Duratracs) and this would solve that and allow for more aggressive summer tires. I Really like the Nitto Trails.

A few members have, hopefully they will chime in. We have yet to drive on that limited suspension much.

If this is your wifes DD I don't see a reason to rip out XREAS. With the proper tire and wheel setup you shouldn't rub at all, especially if you're just going with stock size tires. I also don't see a reason for MTs on a DD either. I'd go with a good set of HT tires for the summer and dedicated winter tires like the Blizzaks or Nokians.

Here is one persons experience with the 6112/5160 combo on a Limited and an honest initial review

This may be my wife's DD during the week, but, its my play toy on the weekend. I take it off-roading quite a bit and plan on even more, and it was my wife that didn't like the stiff suspension. So if I can get a new setup that works good for both of us, I would do the swap.

I am running the 265/70/17 duratracs in the winter, which are amazing tires for all the conditions. I want to run either a Nitto Terra Grappler or Trail Grappler during the summer. I ride a lot of sand trails (and of course the occasional mud hole which is hard to avoid ! Which is why I like the more aggressive tread pattern of the trails!

Plus lets be honest, an aggressive looking tire looks awesome! I didn't buy a 4Runner to run to the mall! I bought this because they are tough, well built and extremely capable offroad, even in stock form.

We have the 6112s, but the 5160s are still backordered. I would suggest going up a notch to compensate for the weight

I posted this in the 5th Gen Lift buyers guide but also wanted your opinion as you guys helped in producing/testing the shock and answer questions like this all day.


Looking into either 5100's or 6112's with 5100's in the rear. I do not want much lift (1-1.25") and want to keep some of the stock rake just minimize (not completely leveled). I know that the 6112 spec wise (and by a lot of research on this site) are a better shock, but the spring rate is very soft. As of now it would probably be the perfect set up to put the 6112's at the .5 setting, add 5100's in the back with a OME 10mm spacer and call it a day, although probably overkill since about 95% of my driving is paved roads and will only be doing light to medium trails when I do go off road. If i were eventually to add a bumper/winch up front are there any springs that fit the 6112 with a heavier spring rate? I don't want to compress the shock further by lifting it more, taking away from travel and the combined characteristics of the coilover. Or is it a better idea to save the money, add 5100's all around with stock coils, set it to .85 add a 10mm OME spacer and then if the mods come later just add stiffer springs?

Oh, and yes budget is a factor but if the 6112's are really that much better I could splurge if its possible to have them save me more $ by not having to upgrade the suspension to an Icon or Boss in the future but just adding stiffer springs.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice you can give!

The springs are standard EIBACH 14" 3.5ID springs, we can order them in +50# or +100# weights to compensate for bumpers, winches etc.

6112 is greater than or equal to the BOSS in performance and will be a noticeable upgrade over the 5100. If you are looking to stuff bigger tires on until you can upgrade to a 2.5" like ICON or Fox or King then go with the 5100s, but if you plan on having this for a couple years the 6112 is a great way to go.

Let us know if we can answer any questions, and feel free to call us if youd like. 702.979.1577
