Bilsteins 6112 lift question

New member here! Bought a 2021 4runner trd off road that's coming in February and already have a set of Bilstein's 6112/5160 along with KO2's in stock size.

I tried searching the forums before making this post but couldn't find any pictures of 4Runner's running the 6112 with a 1.2 or 1.6 setting as well as a stock rear coil. So I'm hoping the community can post some pictures

I plan on keeping the coils on the rear stock and mostly looking for a leveled look.

 

You can probably find pictures of 1” or 1.5” in the front with a stock rear.

.2” won’t make a difference in appearance for lift height.

 

Welcome to the forum from; Wisconsin!

 

I did the same but with 5110's so I'm not sure how that will change the look.

 

Welcome to the forum!

Not exactly what you're looking for, but 6112's @2.3" in front with 1.5" lift coils in back, and stock size KO2's.

 

1.2" front lift

Bilstein 6112/ 5160 at 1.6” setting with stock rear coils.

 

Looks really good! Is there any front rake or do the rears sag when you have passengers in the back?

 

It was dead level to my eye- no forward rake, sagged a bit when fully loaded in back and with passengers, but that is going to happen if you go for the leveled look. 1.2” would give you a bit of rake and avoid sag when loaded. But if you want to replace coils later, 1.6” might be the way to go.

 

Don’t know if you have KDSS but it is different adjustments.
Just an FYI

 

Ohh okay thank you! I'm still debating between 1.2 and 1.6 now. But I'm leaning towards 1.6 because I won't be carrying passengers 95% of the time unless I'm going on snowboard trips. Also do you have kdss?

 

Yep got that chart as well! I have kdss, but I just wanted to see what the other members are running. Thanks though

 

Good point- I do have KDSS. I had it done in a shop and hadn’t seen this chart. I told them to put it at 1.6” but it probably was installed at 1.7”.

 

Thank you! Guess I'm pretty set on the 1.6 setting after seeing your 4Runner with kdss. Now the waiting game begins for my 4Runner!

 

Do you have any more pictures of a side view? I'm finally getting mine installed this Monday (6112/5160) and I'm thinking of doing 2.5" in the front and 1.5" in the rear. Any suggestions?

 

Here's the best I could find from when I had stock size tires, and a picture as it currently sits.

I think 2.5"/1.5" is the perfect lift. I'm happy with the look. Did you order 1.5" coils for the rear?

 

Thanks for the extra picture. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I do not know what coils I got for the rear. I'll email the shop now.

 

No problem!

I only know which coils I have because I was looking for extra load carrying capacity. There are many options for height and load ratings.

 

For the 1.5" springs you have in the rear, did you get the "Heavy Load Package; 400lb Constant Weight"? Or just the standard 1.5" lift springs? I like your setup and have 6112 & 5160s on order but need to purchase some springs.

 

I went with the +400# heavy springs. I have full armor, roof basket, and about 200# of tools and recovery gear at (nearly) all times.
