In typical Bilstein fashion- they didn’t say a word.

They are out though. note that they do not use 5160 out back anymore, just a 6100.

4600s front are now available too!

It didn’t take long for the 6112 to come out after the 5100’s were released.

It’s really good to see more options coming out.

yeah, what’s funny was i called them two weeks ago and they “ had no eta” ha my ass. sneaky bastards.

i’m honestly probably gonna do 4600 and stay stock height for once.

I put rear 4600’s when they first came out and they’ve been great, so I’ve been waiting for the fronts to be available. The only reason I didn’t jump on the 4600’s when they came out for the front was because I had hoped to read up on spring options to pair them with. Now that coilover “kits” are available from bilstein I’m tempted, but since I don’t want to raise the front end (my idea of a “level kit” is a half ton in the bed and/or a heavy trailer tongue attached) I’m confused by bilstein’s conflicting documentation for the 6112 that says either 0-2.75” of lift, or 1-2.75” of lift. I guess I need to reach out to them for clarification.

Per the install manual, 6112s are 1-2.5" for the 2.7 and 1.5-2.5" for the 2.3. 0-2.75" is across ALL platforms, as in other trucks.

You want 4600s or 5100s if you want to keep front height stock.
