bilstein b8 6112

[Flryder]

If you have installed this kit what are your thoughts? How was the install? Any problems? What height do you have it at? I am thinking of putting it on my 2012 4.7 4 x 4.

Thanks,

Dan

I've had it for about a year and a half and likely close to 50k miles. I really like them and my only gripe has been lack of adjustability on my truck. I have a crew cab ecodiesel so maxxed out I got 2.3" lift and over time and abuse they sagged a bit. But I'm much heavier than you. Other than that, no issues at all, assembly is simple and the same as the 5100s. If I can say anything, keep them closer to 2" of lift and you'll be very happy with their ride quality.

I've had mine for almost 3 years with zero issues. I had mine set to max in addition to my BDS lift and it rode great even with 37’s. About a year ago I adjusted them down to zero lift with some 325’s and they are still doing great.

i've had mine for almost a year, set to max and man i love the ride. coming from solid axles to this, is like a Cadi to me.

if i lived in the city i would've went with thr 5100's but i got close 100km of dirt road and wash boards.

Jamrock09, what kind of angles do you see on your CV shafts with the B8's at max? Have you had any interference when flexing the front?

Easy install, nice size piston, great ride, have mine set at 2.4 for regular cab, it's beautiful

i ordered these the 6112s/5160s and just impatiently waiting for them to be delivered.

i was wondering, when i go to install these i'll be able to reuse the factory upper control arm correct? also i shouldnt have any issues getting it aligned (i plan on putting it at either 2" or 2.4")?

Keep it at 2" front lift and you should ok. If you lift to the max you can benefit from most of the aftermarket ones in terms of geometry alignment and longevity especially if you're going to be cycling your suspension fast offroad. If you're driving miss daisy on or offroad.

would it be wise to go ahead and get an upgraded upper then?

any recomendations for upper control arms?

just want to make sure i dont have to come back and make repairs in a year or two.

Readylift has new arms that don't squeak... I have the squeaky version and like them apart from the squeak so the new ones should be great

I went with Zone UCA's couple of years ago. They've been trouble free knocking on wood. I did them with just 2" of lift. Not my first IFS setup so I wasn't messing around with the basics. Pay once cry once

I have the ready lifts paired with 6112s. Over 40k on both and they're great.

I have the same combo with about 30k on both and looking and feeling great!

My only complaint will ever be that my Ecodiesel sagged the 6112s a little bit more than I'd have liked. I looked into adding a heavier spring since the Toyota guys have a few options for that but I had no luck with 100% fitment. That being said, it was purely a personal cosmetic complaint and these things have been GREAT. I commute with my truck, and being in NJ they see some pretty terrible conditions and still look good. The arms get a shot of grease every oil change and are great. For a budget setup I'll suggest this combo every time.
