TRD Pro Bilstein Shocks (1 Viewer)

[Sinister]

Will these TRD shocks work as a direct swap out for us with the stock everything? Id love to upgrade from the stock shocks but i have zero suspension work as its all original.

Brian sent me the Bilstein 6112 spring and shock set to test. It shares the digressive valve design with the TRDs. Anyway once they're in meet up with me in Lower Westchester and drive my truck and come fishing. Brian is working on a solution for the rear now.
The TRDs are expensive and unobtainable right now so this might be a perfect affordable solution for many of us.

Arich, any update on the 6112s? were you able to run the BBS 20s with the 2" lift?
thanks

Sorry My weekends have been just to busy to install. Fishing season start this Sunday and I need the get the boat in the water.
The BBS 20s will fit regardless of lift. I just had them on for a few weeks but I missed the TRDs and swapped them yesterday. They're sitting in my driveway. Make me an offer if you like them. The tires were expensive but I got a deal in the wheels.

These are on their way from Brian Jowett in MA and OME 7021 springs are in their way from Cristo Slee in CO

Looks awesome, what is the part number?

 

[arich]

Patience all.
Brian is testing fitting the rear shocks on his monster and then letting me test them on the road.
Once we're both done we'll meet up and I'll let Brian drive my truck and I'll let him give the true professional opinions. I'm not worthy.
Of course we'll both be comparing to the beloved Koni 90s.

Any update on the testing? (Patience isn't my strong suit )

 

[arich]

Rear is done. Installed with OME 7021s.
Starting the front this afternoon

Awesome! Go, go ,go!!

What is the part number on those rear Bilsteins?

 

[arich]

Right now I am testing for Brian Jowett as he can't test the TRD Pros and these simultaneously. Once it's all worked out ill let him post. Happy so far. Fronts go on Thursday.

So the rears are custom built or just off the shelf?

Any updates on the ride/feel of the 6112's?

inquiring minds want to know....

 

[bjowett]

The rears shown above are off the shelf, but ended up being less than ideal. A better solution is in the works and should be available any time now. Arich says the 6112 fronts ride nice. I've been driving the TRD Pro version, it rides well, need to get them into some bumps.

Brian - should I be concerned?

[bjowett]

No, I have the solution, a very good one for those using stock springs in the rear.
