5100 vs 5160 vs 6112 for AT4

[Z71-K9]

I have a 2019 AT4 that I want to initially replace the rear shocks and then eventually replace the fronts.  I searched the site but its still not clear to me.  Who has to made this choice and why?

5100 is an improved monotube shock. 
 

5160 is basically the same shock but with a reservoir for more endurance when cycling the suspension rapidly. 
 

6112 is a bigger body monotube for those that use their stuff hard but don’t want to go full custom suspension.

^^^^^ exactly.....

 

 

if your gonna go 4x4 on purpose than 6112 would be the call......if not than 5100s, its as simple as that

 

5160s are just rears for 6112 front setup......

Eh, 5100's are great for most offroading that people do.

 

However, if you plan on going fast over rough terrain it's time to start spending money on better shocks and struts.

I just picked a 6112 set for mine through Summit Racing this past week. Not installed yet.

I have 6112 in the front and 5100 in the rear. The ride is more composed off and on road compared to the Ranchos. It was definitely a worthwhile investment.

6112s up front and 5160s in the rear! Controls body sway much better and gives the truck a more planted feel.
