Bilstein's 6112 shocks are the go-fast go-big upgrade over the 5100 series. With a much thicker body and 60mm piston, the damping ability of the 6112 exceeds normal 2 inch shocks. More damping surface from the 60mm piston provides more consistency in similar terrains vs the 5100, Less work required with the 2.6" 6112 results in less harshness and more comfort. Another big advantage of the 6112 shock are the various height choices to account for different weight loads or tire clearance requirements. With Bilstein's build quality and reliability, these shocks do not need to be serviced as soon as similar 2.5" shock offerings.

This kit uses the 6112 front shocks and springs as the baseline, with interchangeable rear shocks according to lengths required. Rear lift options at 2" or greater will require an extended length rear shock to accommodate.

Bilstein Front 6112 - 47-309975

Bilstein Rear 5100 - 24-186728

• Uses new included coil springs for the 6112 shocks, lift height is achieved through the numerous circlip rings on the shock; adjusted prior to install.
• 60mm piston means more damping surface volume, and having to do less work than a smaller (2in) shock or 46mm piston, one word - consistent.
• For more aggressive offroad use compared to the 5100 series

Fully Assembled Option - by selecting one of the performance coil spring and assembly options, Shock Surplus will fully assembled the front Bilstein 5100 struts, coil springs, and new top hats for easy installation. Lift heights are approximations and may not be exact for your specific setup.

Lean / Trim Spacers

These are either 1/2" or 1" spacers. 1/2" spacers do not require extended top bolts, but 1" will, which we do not supply. You can achieve 2.5" total lift by using the tallest height setting on the 6112 shocks, and a 1/2" strut spacer.

Front Spring Options

Standard springs in this 6112 kit come at 600lb, while 650 and 700 rates are available for an additional cost. We cannot swap out the 600lb included springs for the HD options, the HD springs must be purchased along with the base kit. Going with a heavier spring rate is meant for additional weight requirements, and only using them to achieve more lift will net a much firmer ride.

• Base Kit - 600lb Springs Included
• Bilstein B12 - Medium Load - 650lb - 1 x 53-291387
• Bilstein B12 - Heavy Load - 700lb - 1 x 53-291394

Rear Lift Options
