Ordered a lift! Bilstein 6112/5100 combo

I'm running this setup. Wasn't too keen on the 5160s just yet so when it was time to upgrade went to 6112s and kept the 5100s. Great set up for the money. I'm running toytec Superflex coils in the rear. Have about 2.5 in front and 3 inches in rear for lift. No UCAs.

Happen to have a side pic of this setup? Curious what the superflex rear looks like. I’m running a storage box in the back all the time and it weighs at least 150 unloaded.

Also did you use the superflex HD spring for 3” lift?
 
Bilstein 6112 help

Well I finally got my 6112's! Now I am on the fence about what setting to put them on, I am going with the daystar 1.5 inch spacer in the back and I am on the fence between 5th and 6th clip on the fronts (2.4 vs 2.7) and taking into account the future settling of 0.25-0.50 I am guessing. I will buy rear springs one day when all is settled. I dont want to go to high in the rear but also do not want to be nose high, I also dont want to be too high in the back as it makes tire look to small. right now I am running 265 falken wild peaks but I think they are closer to 275's.

Here are my measurments and on the bottom that is frame to floor, on the top left that is ground to top of wheelwell and to the right of that is center of hub to top of wheelwell. Ignore everything to right of the line.

#2 circlip 1.4” setting

By the way here are the revised instruction with KDSS settings.
Has anyone with KDSS put the 6112 upfront set on the #2 setting circlip for 1.4” average lift, and left the rear end stock? Is there still a little rake? Based on the front 19.75” center hub measurement and rear 22” center hub measurement if Blistein average is right it should bring the front up to a little under 21.25”. Just wanted to know if anyone has done it and does it look good? And if Blistein averages are correct
 
Just bought a 19 4runner sr5.. about to pull the trigger on the 6112/5160 with t13 rear. I was pretty much set on going with Kings but after reading all the info this site has to offer and getting overwhelmed with what to do i think i decided this route will be the best.. this is the wifes daily driver so it will see in town driving 90percent of the time.. looking to tighten the ride up and have a nice ride still..hope im making the right decision! Cant wait to start this build process. Now what to pick for wheels/tires!!?
 
What is everyone doing/planning to do when these shocks need replacing? Getting a new set with new coils?
 
Still good with it?

Did a ton of research on here and finally ended up pulling the trigger on a lift.
Going with Bilstein 6112 in front and 5100 w Wheeler/Eibach 1.5" springs in back.

Got everything from Wheeler's Offroad... so now I just have to wait.

Anyone have experience with this setup... especially self install?

Anyone know a decent install place in the Dallas/Forth Worth area?


I'm thinking of doing the same thing to mine. Now that it's been a few years, do you wish you'd done any more or less to your's?

I’d also like to know the answer to this
 
toytec 3in lift overall height

Can anyone give me a height measurement from ground to roof if you have a toytec 3in lift with 285/17 tires? I want to make sure it still fits in my garage with my gobi rack.

Thank you!
