You should drive the Tundra TRD PRO and feel how that suspension feels. I think the Bilsten 6112s would be well worth the wait.

Never seen a TRD Pro in person to drive, they seem to be rare, the fact that they are more money and less truck would make it a hard sell although they are cool trucks.

I put the bilstein 5100s on the rear of my 14 High Country with a new 2" block a few weeks ago. Ride is unbelievable compared to stock. Liked it so much I got the adjustable 5100s for my front, remove

Hello, I'm not new to the forum but I just joined and figured I'd contribute to the community.   2016 Silverado 1500 "Z71" removed rancho's and swapped with Bilstein 5100's all around. So after d

I just got done with installing my 6112's on my 2014 GMC Sierra Crew Cab.  Reading some install guides on here really helped, along with printing some Chilton Repair guide torque specs that I got from

I've searched but haven't been able to find the answer. How much different does rear shock valving need to be for Max Tow rears vs standard? If I wait for the 6112 for front would the 5160 be the correct rear shock for Max Tow application? Thanks

I don't know, but the odds are, the 5160 will far surpass the stock shocks in every way, including load handling ability, so I wouldn't worry

I'm in as well, though if it's more than 6 months I'll go with fox. Keep us posted...As an aside, any installed pics/videos would be neat to see if you're allowed by bilstein

I was guessing that would be the case too. Given the number of NHT drivers on here, I'm surprised I can't find a more definitive answer. thanks though.

Does anyone know where to get the 6112 version. I can't seem to find them or a part number for them anywhere

 

Not released yet, still in development. Think April was last I saw on here. 5100's are your best bet for now or another brand.

Chris, good to see you on GM-Trucks now. Did you sell your Tacoma? Like the Tacoma, FJ, 4Runner & Tundra - Total Automotive Performance will be the best source for your 6112 needs.

 

April is the tentative release date.

Yeah I sadly sold it. A lot time and money but had to have more room for the kiddos and misses. Already heating up the credit card a bit with the new truck. This forum is got a lot of info for sure. A little hard to follow and post pics but otherwise good.

 

I will say I'm enjoying some of the perks the Sierra comes with that we're not even close to an option for the Tacoma. Got the new Method 306s in black, and taking off these 20" for some 17s bf699ef6258c1c8dda9c9a9dfbd75344.jpg

I recently had 5100's installed on the front of my truck. Went with max height setting and gained almost exactly 2" on both corners. Gonna be installing the rear 5100's in the spring. People say they ride stiffer than factory on max height setting but I find they are softer and make the truck feel planted better when going over rough pavement.

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.
