Bilstein 6100

Still new here and trying to figure out the complete mod list of the previous owner. From what I can tell no KDSS?

can anyone help me out with what this exact set up is? I've looked through the Bilstein 6100 and such but I was curious about the rest of the set up.

 

As far as I can tell, the 6100 is designed for the Ford Bronco.

And, correct: no KDSS

 

woof...I might need to confirm it's not 6100 instead the 6112? I am a little confused on what this guy did because it also looks like he took off a skid plate in the front but added some for the fuel tank.

Might need to take it in to a shop and have them do a takeoff for what's been mod

 

It's a really smooth ride and running 33". I knew Bilstein was a decent brand and we got an incredible deal on the Runner from a dealership and only one previous owner, but maybe should've done more research ‍♂️

 

Those front shock's and springs are the Bilstein preassembled kit from folks like ShockWarehouse: https://www.shockwarehouse.com/prod...112-suspension-kit-lexus-gx460-toyota-4runner
The 6100 label on the shock is the standard label for any 61xx series shock and your spring part number (E4-FD1-Z005B50) is the same as the one that's included in the kit in the link above.
Looks like a nice set-up.

 

you might be my hero today haha I was starting to worry I had Ford build junk on my Yoda! The previous owner seemed pretty intentional (and no cheap) with his mods. I saw this package but wasn't sure with the 6100 tag.

 

I am about to do the same set-up replacing my X-REAS system in my Limited. Pre-assembled 6112's & coil springs on the fronts and 5100's on the rears. Now I am not changing upper control arms or going to the top ride height but you have a nice upgrade to the stock TRD OR suspension.

It also looks like it was nicely installed. They marked the nuts and studs so you can do a visual inspection and did a proper job on routing the brake cable.

 

If the front skid plate was removed. That might be because there's a diff drop kit. Also looks like the front coilovers are set to the highest notch.

 

here is what the underside looks like.

 

excuse my naivety - but is top notch ride height a bad thing? (my experience with lifts/leveling kits/suspension is dad would install it when I was little and I thought it was cool haha)

 

Not if you like it! That's a 2.75" lift (the max for those 6112's). The rear probably has had the springs replaced also which means the 5100's are the version that supports a limited lift.
If your 4R is level - front to rear then the lift in the back is slight less then the front. If your truck still has the factory rake then the front/rear lift is most likely the same.
This is why your 33" tires don't rub! LOL
Only down side.... is prematurely wearing out the front differentials needle bearings. There is a ton of threads about that issue on this site.
Long story short it's pretty easily fixed with a needle bearing swap to ECGS clamshell bushing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXIfHArtvF8

 

Solid. Thanks for the feedback. I am going to try and see if I can get a mod list from the previous owner to see if he replaced this while he was at it.

 

it does say 6100 on the shock. Uh oh! My 6112s say 6112s on the sticker.
