Bilstein 6112

[Hookedup87]

This is the route I’m definitely going to go once Shock Surplus gets them back in stock. Quick question. Does anyone have these installed at Circlip 7 which I believe is a 2.4” lift? And if so, did you do aftermarket UCA’s or just run with the factory ones.

@Nick@GotExhaust is a preferred vendor on this forum, send him a pm and thank me later.
UCA’s on anything above 2.5” is a good insurance policy. You’ll want the ones with angle correction readylift and zone UCA’s are both great options

@Hookedup87 i would also recommend the Bilstein rear springs and the 5160 rear shocks with that kit. Nick hooks it up

Already have TuffTruck rear springs and have the Bilstein shocks I bought off a buddy of mine who never installed them. I’m planning on installing the shocks myself. I ordered those tools from Thuren Fab. Am I correct in assuming, because I couldn’t find a video, that with those you can just do the shocks with the rear tires and fender well in place as she sits on the ground?

yes removing the fender wells makes it easier but is not necessary. And you can do shocks on the ground. However you’ll be doing coils and shocks so you’ll need tall jack stands under the frame. I remove the rear tires to make dropping the rear easier to get the springs out.

BDS recommends UCAs around 2". I did Zone UCAs with just 2" couple of years ago now at 2.75 thinking to crank up my coilovers for 3" and they have been set it and forget it. You're getting a nice set of lifting struts seal the deal with aftermarket UCAs. You'll have not only piece of mind but more alignment correction after lift, better arms and better BJs.Cant go wrong with them with 2-3" lifts.

^^ I agree UCA’s are always a good option @Nick@GotExhaust normally has them in stock too I have Zones on my truck that will be for sale if JBA works a deal out with me. They are a local company (to me) that I wouldn’t mind supporting. My truck is often used as a demo and taking people that are on the fence for rides. We also have a f-250 with a 4” lift with Bilstein and a newer f-250 with a 4” bds with fox same with the Ram 2500’s we have one on Bilstein and one with fox.

Quick Shifter. If and when you decide to sell those Zones, PM me.

The 6112's are on national back order. IF you want to get a set best bet is to get an order in for them now as restocking orders are a ways out. There are many back orders already in. We can get them ordered up for you and have them drop shipped straight from Bilstein to you to minimize lead times. We can offer great pricing on them as well!

2"+ I recommend UCAs if you plan to off road. If it is a street driven truck then you can get away with a little more lift on stock UCA's up to about 2.5". Zone is a great option and would pair up nicely with the 6112's!

I had an email chain with JBA before but they stopped responding so I’m giving them another shot. I don’t ask for stuff for free I just want to be a direct dealer for their stuff they may view me as competition because we are close but them and quadratec can keep their jeep markets im basically located between them

I had my 6112’s maxed and ran the zone control arms. I’ve had them for 3 years now with zero issues, I was the first member here to run them.

How was the ride with them set that high? Currently have a Zone 6 with 5100s at 2.1, but have a set of 6112 sitting in the garage to install. Debating if i want to go up one more notch or not when i do!

Rode fantastic, very smooth. The coil springs are great, much better than OEM

FYI our back ordered drop shipments are moving so if anyone wants some 6112's get your orders in NOW!
