Bilstein 6112, my review of Digressive shocks

[chtucker]

I am probably the only one one the planet with one Bronco on SAS (Badlands) and one Bronco with 6112s (FE)

I like the 6112s far better than SAS on the street than SAS. I can't tell a difference in the slow speed off road that I do.

I drive 90% on the street. I am happy with my decision. Ask any questions you want

Why?

That was a genuine question. Short but wanted to know why you like it so much more.

Have you loaded up the rear of the FE? How is it then?

I have about 250lbs of winch and mount, 180lb of rock sliders and about 100lbs of extra skid plate weight. I have the fronts on the 3rd ring and the rears on 2cnd.

Potholes and road imperfections are much better. Body roll and nose dive are non existent. Potholes and road imperfections are significantly better.

Flex test please!

Will do when I get back home Sunday

I wonder how dumb it would be to go 6112 front and 5100 rear. I wanted to do the 5100 vs doing cheap spacers but the entire 6112 setup is out of the question right now.

for high speed offroading, I would love to hear the difference between the 2

I would collect the parts as you can and then install them all at once. Not sure how different the truck would ride with two different types of shocks.

Can you send pics of the FE?

The glamor shot before the Bilsteins and the grocery getter shot with the Bilsteins

Having trouble with my forklift.. Maybe just need to find some rocks/ledge to test on.

I went ahead and bought the 5100s during a sale and ended up with some 34" equivalent ko2s during a sale. Will run all of this for the next year or so while I plan the next phase.

Out of curiosity, what winch is that at 250 ponds? Can you use front face camera? What size are you good looking lights?
