The Tacoma 6112's are priced at 1100 bucks canadian per shock... If that is any representation of what the gm ones will be, I think ill opt out even know they will be a huge upgrade. Anyone have another other pricing they have seen?

really? I thought it was for the pair. Damn that's a lot.

 

Edit. Ya it is for the pair. $1050

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

Go to check out. That is for each one. price is 2099 for both. I bought my rear 5100 from this site

5100's are sold separately. If you read the description it says the kit comes with two shocks and two coils. $759 USD for both as well on wheelers.

I have a question, can these only be used on a lifted truck? I have a 4X4 CC with stock 17" wheels.

Thanks!

The 5100's are designed to be used on a stock truck. The front struts have adjustable spring perches which allow you to lift the truck up to 1.8" which is basically level.

 

The rears can be used on a truck up to 1" higher than stock. If you are higher than that you can still use 5100's, it's just a different part number.

So you basically get a level and smoother ride?

At highest setting it definitely won't be smoother. Some people find it harsh and end up lowering it to the second highest.

I've only had my truck for about 30 days but I am ready to level this thing. I feel like grandpa riding down the road. Any clue when the 6112 will be available. I can hold out a few more months especially if this will be smoother at the highest setting. Also would you just do 5100 on the rear?

Brand new GMC Z71 waiting for me to pick up in about an hour. Want it leveled. I had 5100s in my last two Tundras, and the ride was so-so. What is the consensus- a 2" RC leveling kit or the 5100s on high setting?

For the 5100s, the RC 2" kit, or both? To be clear, I'm only looking to raise the front up about 1.5" to 2.0", and planning on doing one or the other.

Sorry I thought you said and not or. 5100's won't make you perfectly level and ride pretty stiff at max setting. Most guys have liked the level blocks. I personally didn't and have rancho quicklifts.

Just fyi, I placed my order for the 5100's with Suspension Connection back in June 20th with an expected re-stocking date of June 24th and the fronts are still on national back order. They gave me an estimated date of July 31st. So I MIGHT be able to get these installed mid August. :/

I just ordered last week my Pro Comp Pro Runner shocks that are suppose to be very similar to the 5100's, only difference being it has only 2 height settings vs. 3 for the 5100.

 

Plus they are running a crazy deal right now with a rebate so I couldn't pass it up, they should arrive tomorrow.

 

I'll get the rears installed asap but the fronts will probably wait a little bit due to it being way to hot here and me being lazy.

What is this crazy deal?

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
