Bilstein 6112 setup with/without ORP

[theblakester]

I think you may have confused the 5100 with the 6112.?. The 6112 has 8 clip positions and the 5100 has 5 clip positions.

Below is a screen shot of install instruction from the 6112 showing the 8 clip positions. Here is a link to the install instructions. https://productdeskapi.cart.bilsteinus.com/media/products/bilstein/E4-WM5-Y654A00_2.pdf

As far as the ride quality, it is really good. Not "Harsh" at all in my opinion. Keep in mind I also upgraded my rear springs to the Icon's. Truck seems to stay in contact with the road better without any harsh effects when you fit a bump if that makes any sense... I have only driven it for 50 miles so far however.

Hope this helps..

Does anyone have the diagram of the front 5100s that shows the lift height achieved per clip with and without ORP?

Thank you, I was confused bc I thought I had seen this before with 7 clips, and saw that post in this thread claiming only 5. Thanks again for helping clear that up!

Hey had my 6112 installed About a week ago. Ride is great and height is great. But I’m hearing a very light chirp/squeak when I driving. Any thoughts on that?

Did you have new ucas installed? If so did they Grease the ball joints?

I have a 2022 Laramie also. I had almost 2.25” of rake before putting the 6112s at #7. After about 1000 miles of driving, I’d say they have settled about 0.25” or so. I have a slight rake but it’s awfully hard to tell with the shape of our hoods. #7 should get you pretty close to perfectly level if you’re okay with the squatted look until it settles. You may not even be able to tell the front is slightly higher though.
