bilstein 6112 leveling kit

Will this kit work on a 2023 f150 tremor I can’t seem to find any information about it

Or what would be the best leveling/suspension kit for the F150 tremor

What are the best coil overs for these trucks?

I'm spoiled with suspension and I want my new Tremor to ride awesome and I want to accelerate into speed bumps. I'd like a nice 2.5" coilover, with adjustment clickers, and be corrosion resistant so the road salt doesn't kill them. I had Icon coilovers in a 4runner- they were fantastic. I did...

bump on this. I was working with Basil's Garage in Vista, CA on a suspension upgrade. They suggested the 6112s for the lift on the Tremor as a better value than Icon.

I'm curious if anyone ended up going this route.

Also curious.

Asked stage 3 and they said it’s not recommended and watched a video on an install and they got lower results as anticipated (expected due to it not being Tremor specific)…. But 5100s are working but they use the tremor coil to my knowledge and now stage 3 and removed the “not for tremor” suggestion.

My thought is we need to subtract the 1.0-1.5 we get from the factory from the clip you’d use to get a starting point…. All the trucks are sitting a little different so the down side to that is a full removal to adjusting the height.

Side note: the 6112/5160 combo worked amazing on a past truck.

2021+ 6112/5160 combo on top notch
295s
18x9 +18
SPC alignment kit (factory UCAs)

Seems to work fine… little rough at first but has gotten better or I got used to it. Rear end feels so much better. Overall feels more planted to the ground on all 4 tires but lost some of the cushion that factory offered. FYI I like a digressive shock so I might not be the best on answering questions on the ride quality.

Rear sagging a little with what I feel is a minimal load; debating 5165s over the 5160s or lowering to next notch.

CV angles don’t scare me but definitely angled…. Not as bad as I’ve seen on here with puck lifts or pre 2021 lifts.

6112s on top notch. Says right in the instructions that they work. Cv angles aren’t bad on mine and the ride has gotten much better once they broke in.

Glad to hear “the ride has gotten much better once they broke in”.

I have 6112s with a 1" spacer, total level is 2" in the front. 5160s in the rear. Stock UCAs. CV Angles are good.

The Digressive nature of the shocks make them super uncomfortable off-road at low speeds with pavement air-pressure (35-40 psi). I usually air down to about 20PSI to make up the difference.

I also did a front sway-bar delete and that freed up the front a lot. Now I can go really fast and I can feel the 6112s working like they should. Absolutely love them.

Tremor only has .5in lift from coils, the other inch is from tires (31vs33).

I think the 6112s/5160s are a good choice for mixed use trucks. Better on-road manners with less body roll while the digressive valving deals with larger off-road impacts nicely. I'll likely buy them again when they wear out.

The instructions are specific to what lift you get with each snap ring position - the Tremor nets 1'' less than a non-Tremor F150 if I recall correctly.

Tell me more about this sway bar delete. I have done it on past Toyotas and guess forgot about it on this truck.

What setting are you in with the 6112s

The 6112s are on position 5 I believe, which equates to 2" on a normal F150, only 1" on the Tremor. I didn't want to max them out, makes the springs too stiff, ruins the ride. I had them at the max position and I hated it. Took it down the .5".

The sway bar delete was so worth it. Should have done it a long time ago. I do a fair bit of off-roading and I like to go pretty quick. Allowing the suspension to move on it's own accord without the nanny from the other makes it float over bumps and whoops much better. Really compliments the 6112s.

As far as cornering concerns go, I have a +0 offset wheel with a 12.5" wide tire, the track is large so I'm not worried about flipping. It feels like a truck now.
