Thanks for the heads up on these shocks!! I'm sure I'll be recommending them to a lot of people. And, I'm sure that I can keep up with the very best deals on these shocks
Naw. Totally different shocks. The Pro shocks are 2.5" reservoir shocks that were designed, built, and valved specifically for the Pro and they cost close to $2400. The 6112s aren't supposed to be released until Jan 2015 so I doubt we'll see solid pricing but Im guessing they will be significantly less than the Pro shocks. But as someone already mentioned, the 5160 rears can be had for around $180 per shock. The 6112/5160 shocks are
made to fit different makes and models while the Pro shock is only offered for the Tundra so my guess is they are better dialed in for the weight of the vehicle and will offer better ride and performance right out of the box than any other Bilstein offerings.
I was thinking that because they're offering them as "OEM" fits (not just off-the-shelf parts), they'd do some tuning of spring and dampening to the vehicle weight etc?
...but the front Bilstein's have adjustable spring perches to add lift if desired, correct? So 5100 or 6112 can add up to 2.5" of lift to level the truck without spacers or shims, right?
...and if I want to lift the rear I use CB shackles (preferably) or blocks and a longer shock, right?
