Has anybody installed Tacoma Bilstein 6112/5160 combo on a 5th Gen 4Runner?

Folks, I got my hands on Tacoma Bilstein 6112/5160 combo. Has anybody installed those on 5th gen 4Runner? Any feedback?
I've heard they are slightly longer and stiffer than the ones designed for 4Runner, which I do not mind, as I'm planning to run bunch of extra weight and may even benefit me. Currently my set up is 2016 Trail w/kdss on 33"Tires, (currently run Bilstein 5100's), Victory front steel bumper, winch, Ultraswing Tire carrier. and Planning to add a roof rack and replace ultraswing with a rear steel bumper with a swingout.

 

You've already started 2 threads on this subject.

You have some people saying they like them and others that say there are better options........like everything else in life. What are you expecting by starting a 3rd thread?

 

I think you need to learn how to read, as nowhere in those 2 threads I have mentioned "TACOMA" in it. so please mind your own business if you do not have anything valuable to say.

 

And this thread you started on TACOMA 6112's?

This will get you nowhere.

 

Dude, why are you littering my thread? are you a thread police? do not have anything better to do? that thread had a question about 5100, and that person did not really provide much feedback other than "do not recommend", and today my question is specifically on 6112/5160 combo. So please, let people who are familiar with the subject matter respond.

 

Maybe consider contacting BILSTEIN and inquire the length differences between applications.
Then you decide.

 

I wouldn’t recommend either….

But go for it and tell us how it goes for you!

 

Agreed. @g-t-10 if you already have the Bilstein setup in hand, Bilstein would be the one to answer your questions. The chances of finding someone on here that has a Tacoma Bilstein 6112/5160 on their 4Runner have to be pretty slim. I know that's what you're trying to find out, but still...

 

I installed 6112/5160. I feel it’s a better ride. ( but I changed the shocks/uca with < 400 miles on the odometer). For sure the brake dive is gone. 1 year and 9000 miles later I would absolutely do it again.

 

Question:
Was the application for a tacoma?

 

If it wasn't, OP will rip you a new a-hole.

 

If you have them in hand. Try it. It's not a very difficult swap. I know you may have to swap out lower shock bushings.

BUT if they are longer (travel wise) you'll need uca in the front to use the travel. The rear you'd need longer travel springs, brake lines, etc.. so unless you have supporting mods shock travel doesn't mean shit

 

yeah, seems like front 6112s are a direct replacement, goes bolt to bolt, but the rear ones 5160's may need bushings replaced. Tacoma bushings are smaller. I only have Tacoma 6112's, have not bought 5160s yet, but seen a few good deals around and was thinking to get them. But I'm probably just gonna get 4runner 5160's and call it a day.

 

Strange, now you need to buy some 5160 ‘s for a 4Runner?

This was your original post on this thread:

At the least misleading info when asking for help while insulting members along the way.

God forbid someone would recognize this!

 

Surprised anyone offered anything.

 

Tacoma and 4runner are different animals
