    LONG POST LONG POST BILSTEIN 6112/5160 WITH PRO FORM FAB +2 SHACKLES

    So after researching for months and months on the forum, I have came to the conclusion that I will be setting my 18 tundra cement with the Bilstein 6112/5160. I actually have the 5100's and I'm not very happy with them. One of the shocks is already leaking and they only have 15k miles on them...anyways, I have read a lot of good info on this forum and barely anyone is running the +2 shackles from pro form fab. They look beefy AF and great for the price. My main concern is that if I put +2 shackles in the rear, would the 5160 be over extended? Additionally, would +2 shackles in the rear be ass high ?I plan to run the 6112 on the top setting which will give me 2.5 of actual lift. I just need some advice before I drop money on the lift kit and 295/70r18 tires. Thank you guys!!!

    Myself and @xtyfighterx have the pro form 2" shackles. No problems at all. We have fox 2.0 resi's in the back.

    2.5 up front I wouldn’t go over 1.5” shackle in the rear or it will be really high. Pro forms are heavy duty can’t beat them for the price. If you’re off roading really hardcore then make sure the shocks accommodate the size lift you’re running. If it’s mild stuff I wouldn’t worry to much about over extending.my fox 2.0’s are rated for 1” of lift and I’m running the 2” shackle.no issues for the trails I run.

    Here’s mine 3/2 with fox suspension and pro form shackles. It has some rake.

    6112/5160. shims. +2 coachbuilder shackles. 275/70/18 BFG KO2. Bora 1.25" spacers
    I used +2 shackles from coachbuilder with 5160s. 6112 on the third notch, not the top one, and 2 of the 1/4" shims on the left, one shim on right. Front is now side-to-side level.
    overall lift is +2.5" in front and +1.25" in back. Rake is not noticeable, less than 1" overall.

    That will be perfect. Get some poly bushings to. Coachbuilder sells them.
