    I have an option to install either 2020 TRD Pro fox with Westcott design lift or Bilstein 6112/5100(may get 5160 later) Setting cost aside (I own both) which one should I go with?

    My truck is currently with 33” tires on Bilstein 5100’s with Victory front steel bumper, winch, getting a roof rack and a rear steel bumper with tire swing.

    Sounds too heavy for the Pro Fox shocks/coils.

    Since Bilstein 6112/5100 would be best in this scenario, you're also going to need heavier rated coils all around to go with them.

    If you plan to get rid of the Fox shocks, let me know. I might be interested.

    yeah, I was thinking, maybe I could add Eibach springs in the rear, that may help with extra weight.

    I am in the process of doing exactly the same to my Pro. But removing the Fox shocks instead. Have all the mods you have minus the rear bumper. But plan on towing a bit eventually. Got the front 6112 with Medium duty springs and set at 2.5 inch lift. For the rear I got 5160 and Icon springs-again, medium duty and 2 inch lift springs. Hopefully putting them on in a week or so. Will keep you posted. Hoping to get rid of some of the wishy washy feel when fully loaded with gear with the Fox Pro set up.

    You might want to consider heavier rated coils on the front too to keep up with a steel front bumper and winch.

    Maybe 650lb front coils? If I'm not mistaken, I think the 6112's usually come with a 600lb coil......but that's intended to work with the stock front weight. It would be an easy swap out during the purchase.

    600 is correct. I have that with a SSO slim line bumper but no winch, that could be the difference in weight to bump to a 650
