I’m also in waiting mode for one of the rest shocks

The wait is whatever it is, in the long run, it’s the right system for my needs so patience is a virtue l, for me anyway

So happy to be back in a 21 HE LC…. Had the Bilstein installed yesterday. Handles much better and love the look. I still have a rake of a half inch or so back to front…

For those waiting. My rear shock finally arrived and I was told Bilstein is caught up with production

Also, anyone do 4th clip (2”) and still get good caster specs??

I did 4th clip and was just out of spec for caster. IIRC 1.9 degree driver and like 2.1 passenger. Cam bolts were not frozen either.

Thank you very much.

3rd clip it is!

Thank you very much.

I think some may have been able to though so it could’ve just been my truck and your results may vary. I’m also in an LX so doubtful it makes a huge difference, but it may..

Thanks for the feedback.

I’d rather have a buffer if it’s a close call.

Entire front end is basically being replaced, all control arms, away bar links, all bushings, etc, so want to do it all at once

Hey guys got everything put on finally. Here's the run down:
Bilstein 6112/5160 5th perch
2721 rear springs
SPC UCAs
+40 Evo Dakars
285/75/17 Wildpeaks(34")

First impressions:
Love the way it drives, the rear springs are admittedly a little too stiff for no added weight(someone on here warned me about this) but it gave the height I wanted.

Tires rubbed slightly on fender liners, 10 mins with heat gun solved the problem. Also removed the front mud flaps
Drivers side still rubs the kdss bar in reverse barely. I'm thinking of the slee relocation kit to fix this?
Edit: checked the wheel well space and the UCA caster can be adjusted more and I'm pretty sure I'll have zero rub after I get this don

I didn't take before measurements and can't remember the after measurements, but I have a about 1/2" lean to the passenger side and about 3/4" of rake which is about as good as it gets in my opinion.

Just wanted to give everyone an update and how my personal experience went with tire fitment etc cause there's a lot of varying information and opinions out there. Looking back I wish I would've got +35 or +30 wheels, and probably would've made my tire rub better. But oh well.
Sorry for the crap pic

Did the front settle any more? How much rake do you have now?

I searching for the 6112 kit and springs. Haven't had much luck finding both rears available. Any recommendations? Also, which springs should I get from them. I would probably do the 3rd or 4th perch. 90% of the time I carry no extra weight, well expect my 24gal. LRA and when full it's 185lbs roughly, plus full size 275/70r18 wheel/tire.

Shock warehouse said mid October.
I checked with Bilstein in San Diego and they just referred me to their vendor list.
Checked summit racing, they’re showing September and October shipping dates for the the left and right rear.
