Finally got the Bilstein 6112/5160 OME 2895 installed!

Thanks to Aiden James Customs for the install and alignment. We were waiting for a while for the 5160's to come in stock and I was resigned to just going forward with 5100. But to our surprise them came in today as Scott was doing the install on my truck.

Total lift is 2.5" with a slight rake to compensate for cargo and bodies. The ride seems a bit firmer and the brake dive is gone.

Looks good!

Sub'd. I'm curious to hear how much they settle (if at all) and what your impressions are after a few thousand miles.
 
Looks sweet.
Are you planning to off road much with those shocks?
I'm waffling between that Bilstein set-up soon and splurging on Kings after I save more pennies.

I'd like to offroad more than I do and that's why I went this route and not spend 3k on suspension when I know that the truck will spend maybe under 5% of its life offroad. The stock suspension did really well on a 22 miles of offroading to get to camp so I would imagine this would be just as good now that I have a bit more clearance.

what size tire are you running? 285/70's?

Yes, 285/70/17 on a 17x9 wheel

I’m about to do the same lift, I’ll post some before and after’s. Mines got 260k on it and seems about as low as a minivan currently.
 
Have the same setup on my '16 Trail 4R. Does anyone know how this would handle towing 4k lbs? Just wondering how much sag there would be...
