Installed: Bilstein 6112 / 6110, Icon UCAs, Dobinson 817 rear springs

[RutsyBucket]

They're on! 6112 front coilovers, 6100 rear struts with Dobinson 817 springs.

Go buy them now, you will not be disappointed. These shocks are SO good! Everything is improved - mpg, steering feel, brake dive, acceleration squat, body roll, off road "bottom outs", you name it. All that shit is a distant memory of the past.

$2750 for parts
$900 install and alignment (yet to be completed but tracking pretty straight so far)

Worth every penny. Transformed the truck from "I want to sell this piece of shit" to something I actually love driving.

This is exactly what I want I hear after ordering the same shocks. Now I can’t wait for them to show up. Nice build!

How are they on the street?

Damn. And here I am stoked on my $500 5100s

Looks great and happy to hear you're stoked with them

You got a link to the 6112/6110 for us folks that are "definitely not spending anymore money" ?

Amazing, can't say enough good things.

I'm sure they're great too. That extra .6" isn't important! - her

Yea, like my wife always says "Yours is perfect. The big ones hurt anyways."

What top hats did you use?

Do they feel stiff?
I’ve got 5100s on mine and at first I felt like they were too stiff. I’m happy with them but wish it was a little softer sometimes.

What top hats did you use?

The ones that came off the factory bilsteins. I'll probably buy the icon reinforcement plates.

No. To me they feel like a good mattress; nice and plush but deeply supportive underneath.

What is the purpose of the Icon UCAs? Why the choice of the 817 rear springs?

 

[Blue_Taco]

Been waiting for feedback on these. Your truck looks great! Which clip position did you use on the front and any report on actual lift achieved?

I thought that if you go after market, you would not need to reenforce the top hats? What am I missing?

I don’t know, lol. I’ve heard a lot of shit (that only 24s are affected) but I figure it would be a bad top hat, not anything to do with the factory shocks.

Thank you! This clip 5, 2.2” lift. It’s tough to get exact measurements fender to hub, but I had 21” front before, now 23”.

What is the purpose of the Icon UCAs? Why the choice of the 817 rear springs?

Apparently the icon delta joint is very reliable long term. Why UCAs? Because I didn’t want to cut corners. Why 817 springs? Because that’s the appropriate spring for the weight I carry.

So besides front and rear struts, rear springs, uca's, top plates... Was there anything else ordered? First time lift kit for me and I'm trying to copy your order. I have a diamondback hd bed cover and sometimes tow my sxs. I'm thinking of going mid rear spring. Mechanicaly inclined just unsure of what all is needed. I have stock front struts so I'm sure I'm gonna have to get someone to do my front struts with assembly but would like some advice on the rest. TIA
