Bilstein 6112 Deal Alert

Tomato/Tamato.

Some have higher expectations for their daily driver and overall needs of their 4wd truck. I was not impressed with the 5100s ride quality.

 

I got these last week, just waiting on time to install and trying to deside on tire size and whattodoin the rearas I do tow a boat and need to keep the TSS happy, 1.9". Boss4x4s

 

Niiiice! I just bought front and rears from Boss too!

 

Any deals on 5160s? Boss has them for around 165 with tundras code

 

The 6112's at $699 look like a great deal. Would this complete set of 6112/5100's be worth it for the price, $1169?

I don’t NEED them, but tempting at that price!!

 

Nobody “needs” any aftermarket parts for their truck.....lol.

none of this is about needing....lol

 

anybody running the 6112s with the stock OR 4600s in the rear?

 

Looks like they are getting tired of building them, the sale ends Sat night. "6112 sales ends Saturday at Midnight EST. Pricing will not be this low again. Supplies are limited. $699 with free shipping to the lower 48! Hawaii, Puerto Rico, please call for a shipping quote."

 

What are you guys pairing in the rear. Have a 19 CM 4x4. Looking to level and better ride. Minor off-roading. Factory wheels for now but hoping for bigger tires.

 

5160

 

Thanks. I guess next question is...how many people keep stock rears? Is that a bad idea?

 

I have 6112 at 1.9" and 5160 ready to be installed but after talking to @Coachbuilder he said I needed to do something to the rear to keep a rake in order to keep the TSS from going haywire because I tow a bass boat.

 

How did you color your springs?
I asked boss if they offered a color option they said bilstein has denied warranty claims due to powdercoated springs. I really wanted red ones like this.

Mine will be here on monday

 

Tempted but im still leaning toward dobinsons. Good deal though for sure

 

"For Regular road driving" and being a KYB fan all these years, but open to other options. For the rear: KYB 565133 for $55, vs Bilstein 5100 at $76. Dont think I need the Bilstein 5160 at $161, but tempting. and Has anyone tried those Rancho RS5000x at $50. For the front: KYB 561002 at $72 or Bilstein 5100 at $107. (prices from rock auto) The 6100 may be a deal, but if not off roading, do you need them?

 

I had the powder coated and asked the vendor and also the powder coating shop and they both said it would be fine

 

Ordered at 1.3 setting. Have a cap and dont want to chance any nose high or radar sensor issues.. will keep the 4600 rear for now.. does everyone shim driver side?

 

Just emailed them about a discount code (not applicable to the 6112s on sale, but regular price items) the discount code is Tundras. 10% off. Hope this helps!!

 

Ordered the 6112's at 2.5 last night before the sale ended... already have SPC UCAs not installed yet though. Probably going to oder three shims for the Tundra lean and additional height, need to figure out what to do with the rear suspension though.

 

I am for now. 6112's at 1.9 and Coachbuilder +1 in the rear.

 

what have you guys paid for install and alignment on preesembled 6112s. i got quoted 395 seems high

 

I was quoted almost $800, though they were not pre-assembled. Alignment was $138 of that. Needless to say, I will be putting them on myself!

 

That does seem high - does it include an alignment? Every post I read says this is a straightforward DIY job especially with the preassembled units.

 

I'm probably gonna install myself.....and just find a shop to do the alignment.

 

yes includes alignment

 

5100s with @BOSS4x4s shackles at 2"

 

I finally got my 6112s delivered today. I'm toying with the idea of installing them tomorrow (got a bit of a cold).

I ultimately want to get 5160s for the rear, but gotta let the piggybank fill back up. if I just throw 6112s in the front, get an alignment, would I need to align the rears when I get 5160s down the road? I won't be changing the rear height.

 

The website is showing a price of 729.99. Is the 699.99 deal just for forum members or has the price gone up?
