Bilstein 6112 HD's on stockish 460 or just get Dob's IMS? (1 Viewer)

[skrypj]

I am curious if anyone has run the 6112's with the heavier +150-200 lb springs from the 4Runner on their GX? I would think those springs would probably be about right for the stock weight. I would run 5160's in the rear with one of the Dobinson's springs.

I am stuck between the Bilsteins or just going with a Dobinsons IMS setup. I think either set up will come in within $100-200 of each other.

BTW, I am only looking for 2-2.5" of lift, and I want to maintain the stock rake because I do tow heavy.

Sorry to resurrect this old post but it's a shame no one was able to chime in on this. I'd LOVE to know more info about this as well as I was looking at 6112/5160 setup.

I am running 6112 with heavy springs on my GX. I have full skids/sliders so there is some extra weight. They ride great. Mine is a luxury so I left the rear stock with washers for now. Here is a post/thread where I talked about them.

Over the weekend, I installed the 6112 "Heavy" kit on the front and I can't believe how much of a difference in ride quality. Install wasn't bad. Took about 4 hours and the only difficult part was getting the strut in the lower seat on the passenger side. Had to bounce on a pry bar while my kid pushed the bolt in place. These shocks are beasts.

I was really worried about the spring stiffness since it was sitting so high but took it for a test drive before doing anything to the rear and it road surprisingly well even if it looked funny.

I have had the 6112 on 2, 1st Gen Tundras and a 5th Gen 4runner - always an improvement -always ride great.
