Suspension Review: Stock vs Upgraded Springs vs 6112/Icon 2.0

[MAST4R]

I can seem to find if anyone has had this same issue. 2019 non kdss and no armor. Just installed 6112's with 600lbs springs. Max settings for non-kdss. 7 on drivers and 5 on passenger. Still had about 1/2 drivers lean. I had to add a 1/4 spacer on top of the drivers side already at 7 to get it within almost even each other. Anyone else have same issues? Curious if 650 lbs springs would have made a difference. Didnt mean to hijack the thread but too new on the forum and cant start a new post yet.

Those are not 600lb, they are 550lb at most.

Mine is perfectly level at 2 and 4 settings on 650 and was so also with 550.

I don't like the idea of a spacer on top of max settings.

Accordingly to the part number kit of 47-259768 and spring # e4-fd1-z005b50, I suppose some say its a 600lb spring and now recently others are sayings its actually only a 550 then..... fantastic.

So the point is what Bilstein is saying, right?

Have you ever seen them advertise it as 600?

Give them a call.

I did after I found the 6112 standard spring to be bouncy as heck like the stock one and way softer than the 590lb Dobinsons spring I previously had.

I cleared more rocks on stock shocks and the 590lb Dobs spring than on 6112 on standard springs. It was extremely disappointing.

I'll admit i can't find bilstein themselves advertising it. Just a couple vendor sites or forums. My gut was right..... should had went with the heavier springs (650's) but I talked myself out of it when i pulled the trigger to purchase. Looks like ill be swapping in the near future. Thanks for the info Mast4r.

Why not use Bilstein Shocks on your ride? It has the potential to increase overall stability while decreasing sway and bounce. The consistency, handling, and control of the ride would all improve, resulting in a smooth and relaxed ride. By replacing your old shocks with Bilsteins, you will noticeably improve the ride of your motorhome.
