6112 Setting and Tire/Wheel Combo Thread.

REAL nice ...

 

REALLY nice ...

 

how do they ride? rough or jarring?

 

Little stiffer in the back on certain kinds of roads but otherwise can’t tell much difference from stock. Just taller. Not super impressed but not disappointed either. Rides fine, looks awesome.

 

cool. ther are too many options out there

 

That’s a good thing. If you have a budget you’re sticking to that narrows it down pretty good.

 

i am dropping mine to either 1.9 setting and see if it helps

 

Is there a real big difference between the 6112/5160 setup and the pro suspension. 90% on road. Looking for a better gandling vehicle then the stock 4600’s 2019 limited trd off-road

 

It was night and day on my 2012 Tacoma and my '21 TRD front end is as soft as my dad's old Impala, so 6112's are on my buy-now list for sure. Stiff on the road but plush on fire roads and small whoops. Anyone know coil spring rate ???? OME #2614 medium weight springs = 740 lbf / in. for reference.

 

dropped my 6112 from 2.5 to 1.9 setting. Major on road ride difference. Much better! 6112 handle well and ride great now. I would not put them in the same class as say fox 2.5 or king. But half the price. Your money

 

also have 650 springs

 

6112/5160. Set at 1.9.
Factory sport wheels, black.

 

6112 (top setting) / 5160 Combo
@Coachbuilder1 Differential Drop Kit 1.00"
@Coachbuilder1 Coilover shims (2 drive-side 1 passenger side)
@Coachbuilder1 Front Bump-stop extensions
@Coachbuilder1 Front Bumper Shims
@Coachbuilder1 +3 Shackles
Fuel Vector 18" +20 Wheels
35x12.50x18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers

No-cutting, No BMC. Removed front mud flaps, Had to use heat gun with a mini ball to push-in front plastic liners about 1/2"-1", Bend stock skid plate up out of way to clear tires when making U-turns. NO rubbing now and rides awesome.

Installation was done in SoCal (Orange County) at Allen Tire in Yorba Linda. Jose is the manager there and they are AWESOME. If you need this done give them a call. According to David (@Coachbuilder1) all his parts were installed properly, they forgot to swap-out the OEM bushings for the rear shackles, but I brought it back and they installed the poly bushings in about 30min. Class A customer service as well.

David (@Coachbuilder1) is awesome, helped me out and everything went perfectly. Here are some pics.

ooh la la

 

Has anyone installed these on a SCSB? I've searched every page and don't any of them lifted with these shocks.

 

Maybe this article: https://www.tundratalk.net/threads/bilstein-5160-6112-3-lift-with-18-stock-rims.682105/

 

Ahh no luck there, I'm just concerned about fitment if anyone can chime in.

 

Call David (Coachbuilder) at his shop, I'm sure he can answer those questions for you.

 

I love every single truck in this thread…make me want to lift my own and throw some new shoes on….

 

After lots of reading I’ve decided to not only join the forum, but order some parts myself. Awaiting delivery on a 2021 trd sport premium (Canadian model) double cab. I just ordered 6112/5160, one 1/4”coachbuilder shim for the drivers side, and coachbuilder +2 shackle kit. Still deciding on the 1.9” or 2.5”. Planning to run a tire in the 275/65r20 range.

 

If u tow or haul heavy load 1.9 is gud, level without load should go 2.5

 

That’s about what I figured. I tow a 18.5’ fishing boat a few times a year and my 26’ camper during hunting season.

 

That should work, ask David (Coachbuilder) if you have any questions.

 

2.5 was too rough for me, 1.9 was perfect and still have rake. You cant see it with your eye though. Also did spc upper control arms and dif drop.

 

My truck rides extremely smooth on 6112 (top setting), i didn't need UCAs and I'm running 35s, with +3 Shackles in the back on 5160s

 

i could tell it wasnt as smooth as stock for sure. Truck handles well, but when i hit a pothole or bad road , the ride was harsh. just my experience. If i had to do over i would have went with fox 2.5

 

I would have gone with a higher end coilover set up, but I live in the middle of nowhere in northern Ontario with heavily salted roads and nowhere nearby to rebuild suspension. I figured the bilsteins would be a decent enough option for longevity. Also the reason I decided not to go with aftermarket uca’s, getting parts is a little trickier in my neck of the woods.

 

The SCSB trucks will sit a touch higher due to less weight and where its sitting but Id say go for it.. Be sure to post pics

 

@Coachbuilder1 What was the recommended rake you said Tundras should have? I cant seem to find the old post by searching. I currently have 5100s top and swapping for 6112 and torn between 1.9 and 2.5 setting. I also have your +3 shackles and 3 total shims. I was considering 1.9 + 2 driver shims and 1 passenger. Thanks.

 

My truck is 1" higher in the back, when measuring from ground to top of fender well
