Suspension upgrade

[ryan87]

Currently running toytec coilovers with bilstein 5100 with slot of miles and looking to refresh. Should I go for the bilstein 6112 for slight upgrade or replace my 5100 for new ones. Only concern would be achieving the lift I was with the 6112. Currently around 23.5 hub to fender

Are you changing your coils?

I would not change coils and only replace the 5100. The 6112 would come with new coils

The 6112 is height adjustable similar to the 5100 so if you adjust it right you should get similar results. Assuming a similar front coil rate and that no changes have been made that would affect the weight of the front end of your rig.
That being said you currently have about 3 1/4" lift and the 6112 are rated for 2 1/2" lift. You still may get that much lift from that setup but I can't say for certain. Maybe someone who knows for sure could chime in
Am I understanding the question correctly?

Yes I would like to upgrade to the 6112 but dont want to add rake and not sit level ( if it's slightly lower I will still be happy). My 5100 are on a coil over and fully adjustable not just c clip notches

Could those actually be the Radflo 2.0 Coilovers you have installed?

If so, they are serviceable.

Radflo does re-builds ever Wednesday and usually ship back to you on Thursday.

Very Possibly Radflo then. Toytec rebrands others shocks and struts

Adjustment collar is on the bottom and has a bilstein 5100 shock which I would just replace

ended up with some toytec boss 2.5 coilovers, going to try these couldnt find to many people running them, but was happy with my last set of toytecs

I’m strongly considering the Toytec Boss lift to replace the X-REAS system in the fall. I’m torn between the Toytec Boss and the Toytec Ultimate lift. How do the Boss Coilovers ride? I had the Bilstein 5100’s with the Toytec Coils on my 2010 and they rode pretty good. If you could, post an update after you drive on them for a while. I’d really appreciate it!
