I just put the 6112s on...no regrets at all...dont really do any off-roading, but very happy...money well spent...I was too impatient to wait for the 5160s to come back in stock for the rear, so I did the 5100s with icon 1.5" rear coil springs...

How’s the ride? And did you add bigger tires yet? I have the ORP so the 6112 in the front should give me 2 inches more of lift, according to bilstein chart. Which should level me. I’m thinking about the icon springs on the rear too which would give me a .5 inch rake with rear higher. Which I’m good with.

ordered 2 rear left shocks due to the rights being back ordered till August. the only difference is the reservoir bracket which looks removable so il just flip it around so the branding is on the correct side. 6112s should be here later this week already assembled on clip#8

Think I’m going to do with 5160s in the rear and 5100s in the front just to level it out. Don’t want to replace the factory ORP coil springs with the 6112 one.

Anticipating sucks. Let me know when you get the tires on and how it rides then. What tire are you going with?

Pair of 5100 selling for 280$ is that to much even if they’re impossible to find

1k miles
I have a 2020 Off-Road (ORP) and am trying to understand all the discussion between this thread and the other one that's about 80 pages long. To level my ORP truck it appears as if I can get by with the Bilstein 6112 and nothing else. So why are some of you going with the 6112's up front and the 5160's in the rear? Is it b/c you don't have the ORP?
I won't be off-roading much at all and I only tow a boat for about 5 miles a few times a season. That said I'm not concerned about having to replace the UCA's and don't really care about rake.
Thanks in advance.

They don't make a 6112 for the rear, and the best pairing for the rear is the 5160s. If you won't be going off road at all, I'd go with a cheaper solution up front to achieve a level. I went with the 6112 for performance and to bring up the front a little. I went with clip six on a rebel to keep about .75-1" rake.

i went through bilstein lifts and for an extra $199 chose to have them assemble them as a complete coilover. this way i can install them myself without using or renting a spring compressor and also allowing me to sell my factory bilsteins as a complete assembly. but yes that's the going price on many websites

So for front shocks, the difference in the 6112 and the 5100 is the diameter and the internals of the shock. The 6112 is a better performing shock then the 5100, it cost more too. The 6112 shocks also come with its own coil springs as where the 5100 uses the stock Springs. You can basically achieve the same lift/level with both of them.
I’m considering the 6112 instead of the 5100 because of 2 things. 1 is availability and 2 is I’ve been told the 5100 on the highest setting is a little stiff where as the 6112 has a better ride.
