Bilstein B12 Special Suspension Kit

[Bogdan_golu]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone has some feedback on these coil springs. I am interested in buying them to gain 1” of lift in the rear. I was curious in what way would affect the ride. I don’t want to make the truck to stiff or harsh. Thank you.

They will be an improvement over stock rear springs. @Nick@GotExhaust can set you up with a package deal on springs and shocks

I think I've only ever seen one person who had them and talked about it here on the forum.. can't remember their username or what they said though

From the product photos they appear to be linear rate springs rather than progressive and they're not marketed as cargo/HD springs - that suggests they're likely going to ride pretty similar to stock, but they're a little longer both to provide lift and to avoid falling out when RCSB owners use them with Bilstein 5100 "0-1"" shocks in back.

I have them and they're the farthest thing from stiff or harsh. As a matter of fact they re buttery soft. They re a little longer than stock, but under my Crew Cab Short bed only gained me about a half inch of lift with my heavy toolbox. That's not a bad thing per se, just don't expect a lot of height. They aren't great for hauling weight around constantly though as mentioned. After about 50k I've had zero issues, and I wouldn't hesitate to continue running them.

Haven't posted or been on in forever, but I have them as well. Not the best for doing truck things with, but off road they're quite nice.

Thank you for the help.

Thank you for the help.

often explained as a Cadillac ride when you do Bilstein 6112’s in the front with rear springs and 5160 shocks in the back.
If you have more direct questions on what to use with how you want to use your truck this forum has a lot of great information

 

[Bogdan_golu]

Thank you for the input Quick Shifter. I was also wondering what brand upper control arms you guys like to upgrade the factory ones.
I installed the Bilstein 6112 in the front and I using 295/60/20 tires.
The shop I used to get my wheel alignment was having a hard time completing the alignment.

Zone Upper Control Arms @Nick@GotExhaust has them in stock ready to ship

I just got mine in yesterday. Cant wait to put everything on.

I have the bilstein rear springs, I'm taking them off because I'm putting on a Zone lift at the end of next month. I only have about 5,000 miles on them, and have enjoyed them. They aren't super stiff, but haven't noticed them being soft either. However, I have tuned King shocks in the rear with them.

I noticed about an inch of lift, but they've settled to half an inch over the 5,000 miles.

When I take them off, I have no plans to keep them. If you want to send me a private message, I'll gladly sell them to you for just a little over the shipping cost to take them off my hands. Unless you don't want to wait until the end of March of course, I totally understand.

That should be cool what shocks are you doing with the zone lift?

 

[Nick@GotExhaust]

The Bilstein rear springs are a nice upgrade. I recommend them or the ICON 1.5" dual rate springs.

For UCA's the Zone UCA's will work very well with the 6112"s

Let us know if we can help, if you would like a quote send me a message and we can discuss.

Gonna see how the kings hold up initially, but probably going to buy the fox 6" for the rear. I don't think the +2" over factory on the kings will be ideal... but I'm hopeful. Then if not I'll get custom length kings made next year. I think the wife is getting sick of seeing my bank account racking up so much over and over lol...
