Bilstein 6112/6100 Install + Suspension Overhaul

After 2 years of ownership and 30k miles finally bit the bullet and did a suspension overhaul. I was running Peak 2 piece front collar kit before all of this.

Looks good! What rock rails/running boards are those?

It was about 3k shipped, not terrible considering other coil over setups alone can be much more (i.e. certain Fox systems). I held out as long as I could with stock shocks haha!

Looks so good ! I bet it rides awesome.
You probably know this, but if not: if those end links start squeaking get yourself some graphite lube. And if they start mad creaking the replacement bearing is a Com10.

Thank you! My mechanic mentioned something about this but I totally zoned out.

Looks great! I’m looking to upgrade to the 6112’s in the next few months. What’s your initial impressions on these vs stock. How’s the ride feel on-road/off-road? Anything come up that you’re were or weren’t expecting?

Thank you! Compared to OEM off-road way better. Nothing unexpected, beefier, less dips, more control, height is nice too. Haven't gotten the chance to take it off roading but based on how it feels so far probably an upgrade. Now I will say I think the price is exactly where it should be. I did alot of research on how the 6112's were for the previous gen Taco and Tundra. If these were any more expensive though I would definitely question it.

Do you find them to be stiff? That seems to be a common criticism of Bilsteins.

Not really but it’s subjective. Drives well on road. Only a tad bit stiffer than the 5100s on a 2021 4runner.
