Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

[Boston Mangler]

Called the rep at Bilstein says right rear 419 is projected at the end of July.

Deja Vu

I installed a front bumper after I already had my 6112s on the 4th perch. I lost a bit more height than I would have liked so I'm looking to go to the 5th perch. Is it possible to leave the struts on the truck, compress them and just move the clip. If I can avoid pulling the entire strut off just to gain an inch, I would love to.

Unfortunately no, I have tried this. The spring compressors need to be as close as possible to 180 degrees apart to be effective, and there isn't enough room in the coil bucket to do this.
