    Just up width-ed the tires a shade to 285/55-20. Stock Height Tundra. 0” Lift
    I’m looking for information regarding whether I can install a complete strut assembly from Bilstein models 6112 or 5100? I know 4600s fit. I do some towing and loading heavier materials in the bed. I already have some 5100s on the way for the rear on my 21 Tundra CrewMax SR5 TSS Off Road 2WD. I wanted a completely assembled Bilstein Strut Assembly without having to put a lift kit on the truck. I’ve been told the 6112s are a good fit at the lowest .75” setting ( they do come pre-assembled) or possibly the adjustable 5100. I just haven’t been able to find the 5100s as a complete front strut assembly with the coil spring installed or if there will be any problems installing either 6112s or 5100s on the front that I need to know about first hand. Can anyone experienced in this forum provide me with any guidance?

    6112’s ride much better than the 5100’s.

    Since you have a 2wd, you’ll get 1.5” of lift out of 6112’s (3/4” is for the 4wd’s). Still a forward rake at 1.5”, but getting fairly close to level.

    Both install the same, so no real differences there.

    I run 6112’s now, 5100’s before them. I would never go back to the 5100.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! I know nothing about what you're asking, but I'm glad I read it because I will eventually replace my OEM and want an improvement when I do.
