Bilstein 6112/5160 ride

Bilstein 6112 Strut & Spring + Rear B8 5160 Reservoir Shocks Set



My old man emu shocks are too ruff and I want to replace them with the above bilsteins. How's the ride?

 

I have them on a pickup and like the performance. To me it has a little firmness but not jarring when you go over bumps.

they have them on RockAuto for a much better price.

 

wait for 6100 rears to come out this year, if do go this route

 

Do you have any more info on this? It’s the second time I’ve seen it, but Google doesn’t pull anything up for me with 6100 rear shocks.

 

Have and love this setup. Coming from xreas on a limited for context.

 

What springs are you using in the rear?

 

Unfortunately, not. Heard this from a vendor. They’re out for Tundras currently

 

If you want something right now and don't want to wait, I would get the 6112's up front and forget the 5160's in the back.

Instead, get a pair of 8100's in the back.

I don't see the 8100's for a 3rd gen.

 

oh sorry OP.. I didn't notice your spring question. For me I have the OME standard load springs.. the 889s I believe.. I don't have any heavy stuff in the back and daily drive empty.

 

Is it worth spending the extra money on the Bilstein 6112/5160 over the Bilstein 5100's?
