Bilstein 6112/5160 Travel Question

[Buzzard46]

bout 2" of rake with the #5 clip (1" lift for Tremors according to bilstein) and a 0.5" spacer (my motofab measured a hair under at like 0.375 or 0.380 i cant remember). Plenty of threads

How's your ride with this setup (6112 at 1" setting and 1/2" spacer)? This is quite a project trying to figure out best way to raise the front 1.5 to 2 inches. Thanks in advance.

The OEM bump stop is the limiting factor in the rear for my truck with 5160s. 29.5” on the extended side with the stuffed side on the bump stop. If you take them out make sure something limits the travel.

In the front the 6112 is the limiter for full extension and it’s designed for that. I also have a 1/2” spacer on top.

@deepblack, how's the ride with the 6112's at 1" setting and 1/2 spacer compared to no spacer and 6112's set at max (1.5"). TAI

first drive was a little weird feeling...can def tell with the front up a bit more. ride in general i dig...softening up a hair after some miles. harsher than oem which i wanted - the floatiness was annoying. havent towed with it yet but overall driving feels a lot more planted and it soaks up the bullshit way better. road reflectors are basically noise vs feel at this point. railroad crossings are less noticeable. speed bumps at low speed dont bounce like they used to which makes them feel a little harder on the other side. higher speed on the bumps they go away. kinda "as expected" which is nice.

Appreciate the feedback. TY!

I did it for the extra 1/2” of droop travel but if I had to drive them both and pick which one is which I couldn’t.
