So glad I found this video. I installed 6112s on my FJ last night and referenced this video continuously throughout the installation. Thank you!
Your videos of replacing the shocks are great! Gives me confidence to do it myself. Liked and sub'ed.
Mike I certainly enjoy your videos. You are an excellent teacher by example Thank You
Glad I could help!
Great job. Good info, first rate edit. Subscribed!
SWEET ! Looks like a good way to do it as long as one is careful like you were. I think vice grips might be better than channel locks if you have a ratcheting wrench. Nice install !!
Best video I’ve seen on the subject! Very clear, concise and easy to follow. Your explanations are fantastic. This video is the standard to shoot for. Thank you very much.
Great job. 👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
Yeah good job! No compressor method in my opinion is the easiest method. Exactly how I did my 4Runner, but I didn’t even disconnect the sway bar end links. Don’t forget the loctite on those bottom ball joint bolts.
Red or blue?
Thanks for the awesome video! And for the love of God please purchase some ratcheting wrenches! 😄
Nice and clear video - well done. After the lift, how did the CV shafts sit relative to horizontal? Just saying because if the CV shaft dips down quite a lot towards the wheel side, that would put extra loading on the CV joints while 4x4 is engaged.
Mike .Excellent video. How many inches of lift did you get at the front? And for the rear, how many additional inches should you have?
Bro are you thestradman's real brother? Btw I love your videos , it's helps me alot and gaining knowledge also 😊
Lol "real brother". Yes he is
Quick Tip: at (2:13) The sway bar bolt actually has an Allen hole inside the of bolt to hold it in place while loosening the nut.. (found out after failed attempts)
That's same method im going to have to do when putting a lift on my 2018 Tacoma because I heard most spring compressors won't fit in the coils.
I was a little nervous to try but it wasn't half bad as you can see!
Nice Work, but please invest on some Gear Wrench to remove the 14mm on the top hat. :p
How do you like the 6112 at full lift or the highest perch? Is it too rough?
Hi Mike. Great video. What made you choose 6112 over 5100 for the front? Thanks.
Thought they'd be a bit more durable and wanted to compare with the 5100s. Having had both I'd probably lean toward recommending 5100s because of the competitive price.
So how much lift to it eventually achieve? It seems that adding a winch and bumper would be problematic if you are already on the highest lift setting and only getting 3”? If you wanted to stay 3”.
Highest setting with winch/ bumper would maybe be at 2-2.5”?
Can the no spring compressor method also be used for swapping out coils?
I have the 6112 and the fit is tight but didn't need to relocate the sway bar.
do you have to buy the sway bar relocation kit? what good does it do?
You have had both bilstein 5100 and 6112. How do they compare. ?is the 6112 on road ride? To me bilsteind are great at highway speed but slow speed its a little stiff. I have heard the 5100 are stiffer then the 4600 and I have heard the 6112 is a better ride bc it handles things easier but at slow speed I have not heard if its stiffer then 5100?the same??a little.smoother? I keep hearing the 61q2 is better bc less preasure inside but then i heard since its a 2.5 shock that its gonna be overkill and ride like a.brick
...your input.would be appreciated
Are your lower arm bushings blown out?!?
The kit you have listed says it's for FJs with 150-200lbs in the front but I don't see you have a front bumper other than the grille guard. Is that for sure the kit you ordered? I am debating this kit on the 4runner but I've got different shops telling me different part numbers and Bilsteins website has them differentiated by weight.
This is the kit I ordered. I did eventually add a hidden winch mount with winch but it rode well before and after that.
What place is the best to buy the bilsen 6112 for my FJ 07?
bought my 6112 for 4runner from battlebornoffroad juut recently
@@l3orecl thank you I will take a look
Diff drop necessary? You diff drop the taco?
Anything over 2”
I've heard anything over 3" but that its a good idea over 2". I did install one - install video is coming on Monday.
As long as you stay under 3 inch’s no need.
@@fritty9927 Negative sir two schools of thought so I respect your opinion but don't agree with it because you want it back and closets to stock geometry as possible makes sense to most people do some research! 5th Tacoma now no rookie here
I have a 4x4 2019 4Runner sr5. Is it recommended to change the upper control arms if I’m just getting the Bilstein 5100 for the front and rear?
Only required if you lift more than about 3”.
Same goes for diff drop. No need for this lift.
It's pronounced Bill-stine. Not steen.

@@jakecarruthers6513 not if you're German. Bilstein is German.
@@scootypuffjr. My guess is that this is the least of their worries. And this guy doesn't sound German. Just simmer down; it'll all work out.
@jakecarruthers6513 If someone is making a video showcasing a product, they can at least maybe watch a video from the manufacturer so they know how to pronounce it and not sound like an IDIOT.
@@scootypuffjr. It's not a product showcase; it's an installation tutorial. Perhaps you can make a video correcting all of these horrible things. Or you can decide that it's really not that important in the grand scheme of things....
