Bilstein 5160 or Toytec Boss Rear Remote Reservoir

I have a 2019 SR5 Crewmax.
@decked system in bed and a @leitnerdesigns rack system as well. SCS Ray 10s and Cooper 285/75R18 AT3 XLT tires, Bilstein 6112 (top setting) up front and coachbuilder +3 shackles in the rear. (Nothing installed yet).

Bilstein 5160s are on backorder right now so I am considering the @toytec Boss rear reservoir shocks instead of the 5160. Has anyone else done this setup or does anyone see a potential issue or factor I am missing or overlooking prior to installing everything?

Thank you for double checking my work before I mess something up.

 

Have you tried Wheeler’s? I was able to add a set of 5160’s to my cart.

 

I will try them today. Thanks for the info sir.

 

Sold out also.

 

Tried @BOSS4x4s? They almost always have them. But as I said in the other thread they are sold out for a reason. Maybe waiting a little is best.

 

Backordered also. But again, I think with the coach builder +3 shackle in the rear which adds 1.75 inches of lift is out of spec for the 5160. So the toytec boss shock or the icon might be the way to go. They allow up to three inches of lift.

 

I have boss 2.0 resi rears with Toytec shackles and no issues

 

Yeah I guess by numbers or specs the +3 is but hundreds of people on here do it and in fact if you call coach builder and tell them you are running a 6112 on top setting and 5160 in the rear they will suggest the +3 shackle

 

Thanks for the confirmation and information.

So I ended up being able to locate another option that people may overlook. The Icon VS series remote reservoir rear shocks. They are good for lifts up to three inches and are also digressive like the Bilstein 6112 fronts. Thank you @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for the information and assistance!

This is another shock for those of you looking for another option other than the 5160 that is apparently the rarest of unicorns.

The toytec boss is also another option that will work for up to three inches of lift.

Icon remote reservoirs. What I went with vs the 5160 and I couldn't be happier. Call Darren at boss 4x4 and he will set you up. Gave me a great price. They match up nicely with my 6112s valving.

 

@Blkdmax, that’s exactly what I got!

Anyone else reading this thread. Just know the 5160s are an option. The toytec boss shocks are an option and these icons are an option also. All three are awesome options.

 

Running fox 2.0 remote resi’s with 2” rear lift

 

I’m running icons in the rear with 3” of rear lift.

 

That is my future setup also. Thank you for confirming it.

 

I’m thinking about 6112’s in the front 5160 rear with OME rear springs. The truck has a cap and normally some tools in it, so I need some heavier rear springs. Not sure if the springs being 2.5-3 inch and the shocks being 1 inch matter that much. Or should I look at other rear shocks. Also not sure if 2.5” in the front requires UCA?

I’ve been be told i’ll need to ditch or modify the rear sway bar, considering making it adjustable, like a tie rod.
