Better than mine. I get about 30k out of mine (650lb springs) but super easy to replace so not a big thing. Wheelers also sells the replacement bushing.

I've got 6112 in front w/650 spings (had 700 but was a bit stiff with no front weight) in front and Dobinson IMS rear. I've very pleased with both. The 6112s have about 45k and have gone through one set of eye bushings. easy enough to replace, but they don't last more than about 20k-30k...

I have the Cross Industries Offroad 3rd Row tire carrier. I spent about two years with my spare strapped to the top of my drawers (different than in the pic) and hated the loss of functional space. I'm a much bigger fan of this solution for now. I'll try to get another picture a bit later.

I'd buy one today if there were a reasonably priced option.

Looks promising. Interested to see the price point at which it launches. Hopefully not too close to the cost of a full blown bumper as that would make it difficult to justify.

Did you actually cut the pinch welds off? Of so, how did you close up the gap?

I just went from the 700lb coils to 650lb coils (Wheelers Offroad) on my 6112 (47-284142) and so far I much prefer the 650's. I have no additional front weight and prefer a much smaller lift (1.5"-2"; low COG) than most. I was on the 700s for about 30k mi and the 6112 rubber bushings were SHOT...

If you call Bilstein and ask them about the spring rate, they will tell you 700lbs.

I couldn't agree with this more. This was probably the biggest lesson learned for me.

Is your intent to install these on the 470? Didn't think 5th gen sliders worked for our application. Pretty sure 4th gen did as long as no KDSS.

I'm in the same boat here although I have them on the bottom perch (2nd driver side). Always thought I was special being on the bottom perch and not wanting any additional height. Ride comfort has been no issue. I will say though that I notice the bottom bushing is starting to look pretty worn...

Cam seals are not uncommon. Mine are very slowly leaking, but not enough that there is any noticeable oil loss between changes (5k). I will get this done next time I get the TB job complete (60k from now). The paint issues I'm dealing with as well. Although it is starting on my roof and my...

Any more pics of these seat covers?

I did both at the same time, but honestly wouldn't matter if I did them together vs separately. It is easy enough to pull the CV... most time consuming part for me is getting the GX lifted and wheel off. I would say do them at your convenience even if it is not at the same time.
