Sorry for the delay, we are hoping to have them released in 2-3 months. They are finalizing the product now.
Thank you,

Oh I hear ya, that wasn't a dig at you, appreciate the update for sure. Was more of a dig at Bilstein who's been dragging their feet for far too long IMO.
Exactly. In no specific order, OME, Tough Dog, King, Icon, Dobinson, etc. Bilstein was one of the 1st to offer an aftermarket upgrade (4600), but way behind getting a higher end product to the 200 platform (at least in the US).

Just sent them a note, if you shoot me a PM with your email I'm happy to copy you in so you can go direct if you'd like. Additional squeeky wheels may help
I also inquired a few weeks ago. Crickets. No response.
I gave up on this option!
Got an OME BP-51 suspension (with SPC UCA and OME 2721 rear springs) installed in July.

Don't blame you. The string along is strong
.
if you like the 6112 just use the Tundra application.. you can use a 600, 650 or 700 lb. coil with it...

We do have all the tuning and drawing worked up on 200 specific 6112s and rear 5100 and 5160s. The rear lift coil is already available. We are hoping to have these parts available 1st quarter of 2020.
Thanks for your patience. We are working diligently to get these parts out, we know the global use of the 200 far surpasses any other 4wd vehicle so we are aware of the importance, especially being a global damper manufacturer.
This is what I got back today

Sounds like the same reply from this time last year with a Q1 19' release target.
Yup ...

Good question, someone should ask Bilstein at the 2019 SEMA show in November.
Is Bilstein trying to hit a different price point with 200 6112s and rear 5100 and 5160s?
The B60 rear shocks have a 60mm digressive piston.
The 5100 and 5160 series Bilstein shocks have a 46mm monotube design.
