Suspension

Does anyone know if I can run bilstein 6112 front with bilsteins 5100 long travel in the rear with ome 831 springs in the rear?

 

You should add all your suspension questions into one thread, that being said-

If you mean extended travel vs a true long travel kit, Yes either work, I don’t know about OME 831, but below are the common OME springs that work for the 3rd gen (2890 is 890 etc). I’ve had both the 5100s and the 6112/5160s - I like the 6112 better but if you don’t off-road, they’re overkill. I use 2891s with a steel rear swing out and have maintained my ~2” lift.

Front Coil Springs

• OME 880
  • Lift: ~1.75”
  • Load Rating: Light load
  • Supports: 0–110 lbs additional front weight
• OME 881
  • Lift: ~2.0”
  • Load Rating: Medium load
  • Supports: 110–200 lbs (e.g., light bumper, small winch)
• OME 882
  • Lift: ~2.5”
  • Load Rating: Heavy load
  • Supports: 200–300 lbs (e.g., steel bumper, winch)
• OME 883
  • Lift: ~3.0”
  • Load Rating: Extra heavy load
  • Supports: 300+ lbs (e.g., bumper, winch, dual batteries, skid plates)
  
  Rear Coil Springs (OME)
  • OME 890
    • Lift: ~2.0”
    • Load Rating: Light load
    • Supports: 0–200 lbs rear cargo or constant load
  • OME 891
    • Lift: ~2.5”
    • Load Rating: Medium load
    • Supports: 200–400 lbs (light camping gear, drawer system)
  • OME 892
    • Lift: ~3.0”
    • Load Rating: Heavy load
    • Supports: 400+ lbs (overlanding gear, bumper, roof rack, drawers)

 

Thanks, so when you had the 6112/5160 on, were you running the 861 spring in the rear? And also do you think the 6112/5160 give you enough hight for off-roading?

 

The 5160 and 5100 are the same length, the 5160 just has a remote reservoir and is a little thicker. The shocks don’t influence lift, the springs do. In this case I use the 2891 (“891”) springs because I have a steel bumper (extra weight) - I maintain 2” which is enough ground clearance for what I do. The IFS these Toyotas have doesnt do well with anything over 2.5-3” lift. 2” is really your sweet spot.
