Bilstein 6112/6100 Install + Suspension Overhaul

Nice, looking forward to hearing how it performs offroad. Hopefully you don't get any rubbing. I've noticed that 35s are basically the size where most people are right at the edge of rubbing or not rubbing. From what I've read (and I'm FAR from an expert) is that the offset of the wheel has a lot to do with that.

Yes correct, offset matters quite a bit. These Tundra Pro wheels aren't crazy. I don't do any rock crawling but I am on a lot of back country roads and ranches for hunting.

Nice! Pretty funny, I have the same exact setup. 6112, 6100, Icon UCA, 817 springs, BOTCK, dobinsons end links, Cali raised sliders.

It's great off road. You're right about the price point being just right. I really like these shocks, but you can tell they aren't a super premium offering. At times I wish I spent a little more for Fox 2.5 performance elite, or accutunes shocks. I will probably eventually upgrade to the 8112 when available, or possibly Fox 2.5 / Ride if they have a good sale.

I do really like them though, I just don't know that the performance benefit over the 5100s is worth the money. Someone told me either get 5100s (cheap) or go Fox 2.5 / 3.0 or kings, no in between, and I kind of get that. I don't think that these shocks are 4x better than 5100s, or whatever the exact price difference is.

Man, the long bed looks so good.
