I was told they will be available Some time in 1/15. I plan on buying them when they come out. Matched up with the 5160's in the rear.

That shows the 5160 for the rear available for our trucks too....

 

@dirtydeeds Keith??? Will you stock these or sell them? I think I might want a set of the rear 5160s. From what I read you can rebuild them.

 

absolutely. when you're ready just shoot me over the best quote you find. I'll meet/beat it

 

These seem like a good step up from the 5100s. Wonder what the cost is?

 

Southern offroad shows the 25-237429 bilstein 5160 available for $180....
Any word on pricing for 6112's?

 

Thats really a great price

 

Creo, there you are!

 

These look awesome, price is good also....

 

WTF happened. Thread stated with Bilstein 6112 series and now it all about sub's. Might as well join the game.

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

 

So is a 6112/5160 combo pretty much the TRD Pro setup? What are the rough street prices on these?

derp

 

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.

 

So the 6112s are re buildable, but don't have reservoirs and the 5160s have reservoirs, but aren't re buildable?

 

What he said

 

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?

Great info though, guys.

derp

 

I'd imagine a big manufacturer like Bilstein would do a lot of tuning like that with a shock dyno and/or simulations in the computer.

 

Hmmmm, this looks like a pretty great deal

 

Shocks by themselves won't provide lift. It's the springs job to hold up the weight of the truck, the shock dampens the suspension.

When he says 'for lifted trucks' the shock is likely a little bit longer.

 

...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?

 

So the rumor mill is

they are testing these with some 2.65 (65mm) eibach coils that you mate the setup with your factory mounts and the pair should be just under $900.

Interesting, I guess we will see mid to end of jan when they are released

 

Sub'd. Back and forth between 5100 and OME....now I might as well wait and see what all this hype is about.

 

I too am trying to hold out to see these shocks as well!

I just hate buying something, and then 1 or 2 months later a "new & improved" model comes out!
