Bilstein 6112s with 4" Superlift

[DILLIGAF]

Well after 4 months on B/O these ******* finally showed up.

Will be installing them this weekend and already booked my alignment for Monday morning.

Nice man! I'll be curious how they sit and if you'll notice any difference in ride.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Made myself a new spring compression tool today.

Curious to see the stance, I have my 6112’s set @ 0.8” with my 4” Superlift.

Looks like **** at 2.8 :-( im also 2 inches Higher than the rear. The CV angles and the UCA are bad as well.


I guess I will be taking back apart tommorow and setting them to 0.8.... LOL..

What is the height of your front fender with them set at .8 ? compared to the rear ? Did it give you any rake ? I want to be as level as possible without having to use rear spring spacers .

Dont really want to do this again... *****

I could be wrong and it's hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like your upper control arms might be on the wrong sides too. Just something to check so you don't possibly have to tear it apart a third time lol. I'm just going by that little threaded nipple looking thing on the arm itself.

You're right... I figured that nipple was to zip tie my wheel hub sensor wire to...lol... Just checked the Mevotech Website and those nipples point forward ... *** ... thats useless.

Lol yeah I only knew that because I installed these a few weeks ago and thought the same thing. I guess that would've made too much sense, so just had to zip tie the wire. Apparently the newer style oem ucas have the nipples on the front like the Mevotechs so not sure what the purpose of them are...

Round 2...lol...

They are now set at 0.8 and the UCA is almost level. Once Im aligned tommorow Ill measure the fender heights, im about 1/2 Higher in the front right now.

Also drilled a hole on the UCA bracket to zip tie that Wheel sensor...

MOPAR and making sense should never be used together... hahahaahah.. like why they welded the ring gear inside the housing on the gen 4 diffs... lol... I guess saving 35 cents on bolts was worth it to them.

Haha I hear ya man. Luckily they didn't have that genius idea until the year after I bought mine lol

You have pretty much the same stance as me now with about the same amount of bump stop travel on the 6112's so I'm really curious how you'll find the ride.

Those UCA's look like they are on the correct side judging my the abs line hooking in the correct locations.

If you got the superlift drop brackets you could leave it at 2.8

Well I guess I quoted the wrong member the first time!

so I just saw the post , I’ll head out to the grange and take some measurements.

@DILLIGAF

Guess I have more rake than I thought, but it sure doesn’t look like much to me.

front measures 42” on both sides
Rear driver is 43 1/4”
Rear passenger is 43 5/8”

I’ve got a smidge over a 1/2 tank of fuel.

To much angles on the CV axles and UCA. and would need stupid spring spacers in the rear as well.

Im at 44" in the rear and 42 3/4 in the front. I actually prefer 1.5" of rake since I tow.

Glad I set them at 0.8 today.

Cheers
