Bilstein 6112 install on a 2020 Ram 1500

We continue to preach how strut spacers just aren’t going to cut it for any kind of performance gains. When you put a strut spacer on top of the shock tower in order to gain some additional height in order to clear larger tires, you’re directly impacting the factory strut in more than 1 way. The spacer will cause the factory shock tower to be pre-drooped, which eliminates downtravel of the suspension equal to the spacer’s physical height. And the factory struts and shocks aren’t valved to handle a 25-50% increase in unsprung weight due to larger wheels and tires,...

Bilstein 6112 60mm Install on a 2019 Ranger

The new 2019+ Rangers have some incredible punch! Fun to whip around, especially with that Ford Performance 50hp boost available to all the 2.4L engines out of the gate. If there’s one thing to be desired, its the suspension system in the dirt. The stock shocks just cant take any reasonable off-road obstacles at more than 20mph without bucking the truck in the front or rear. Need more damping! The Bilstein 6112 put a 2.6” shock within reach of more budgets, giving great adjustable front ride height on a beefy enough shock that can take tough off-road terrain much faster...

Rocks n Rockies 2019 - Moab to Ouray

Day 1 Moab, UT - After getting into Moab from our 13hr drive from Nevada, we rendezvoused with the crew around noon to get the lay of the land. Introductions to new faces, and hellos to some old friends, we departed for camp north of town, with enough room for all our rigs (10) to have some breathing room. With camp chosen and staked, there was talk of quickly hitting the trails to get a feel of the red rock canyons and views. Gemini Bridges was the flavor of the day, providing an easy going ride, leading to a small...

Bilstein 6112 Release, Applications, and Overview

Bilstein has delivered their answer to Rancho's Quicklift Leveling system and Fox's 2.0 Performance Coilovers, albeit without being fully assembled. Bilstein's new 6112 kit features brand new coil springs, a massive 60mm digressive piston, and an adjustable spring seat for 5 different height settings. 5 settings is an upgrade over 3 settings on the 5100 series, which gives more refinement on your vehicle's ride height to be more precise with varying front-end loads. The thickness of the new shock (approx 2.3") allows for far more hydraulic fluid capacity over the 5100, Fox 2.0, and any of Rancho's products. This means greater...
