**Important** On the driver's side axle housing, there are 2 or 3 bolts that hold the brake line brackets in. Take those out too to relieve tension on those brake lines before you drop the axle down. They are easy to get to.

@jatollar 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for this one as well! I don't have a bottle jack so I used my floor jack underneath the axle on the other side. It worked really well on driver's side spring, not as well on the second spring, but I got it in.

@AZOverland2017 7 ай бұрын

Yes, that works as well. The 2nd spring is definitely harder after the 1st one is installed. Glad you got it to work!

@@RealeaD I'll give you my opinion on this. I think if you search for any brand of shocks with a "leaking" tag word you will see many complaints about most of the brands having leaks. I think this is for several reasons. 1. People tend to post about issues with products when they have them. So, it seems like everyone is having them. However, you need to take into consideration the failure rate of a product vs the actual number of installed units without issue. 2. Installer error needs to be taken into consideration. I don't consider myself an expert, but I see a lot of people installing parts incorrectly which can lead to failure prematurely. 3. Installs without supporting mods or other considering factors. Ex. installing the correct bump stops after lifts. Stressing out suspension parts with a lift that they were not designed for, etc I think it's impossible to say if the 5160 setup has a higher failure rate than most other reservoir shocks, especially since they are so popular. I think the chances of them leaking vs the 5100 are higher because there are more areas in which leaks could occur since it has the reservoir with 2 attachment points with the hydraulic lines. If you think the 5100 will work for your style of off-roading, lift, etc. than you will most likely have a lower probability of leak issues. I was ok trying the 5160 because it fit what I needed/wanted. I hope all this makes sense

@RealeaD 7 ай бұрын

@@AZOverland2017 thanks for the very detailed reply... I did a lot of research on the internet and it seemed 5160 for 4runner has a specific leak problem, (specifically it leaks from the attachment point with the main shock body) while for example tacoma people don't experience the same problem. Even my local dealer said he doesn't recommend 5160 because it has a leakage issue... I want 5160, but can't make a decision 😆 5160 design for Landcruiser 200 looks really good, there is no moving part.

@@RealeaD I know they made changes, i just don't know if it was effective or not. i see they changed from braided to rubberized lines and the mounting brackets have changed a few times. i wonder if they changed the design of that hose attachment point as well?

Have you confirmed the positioning of the concave washer is correct at 5:05? I haven't had any issues in the 10,000+ miles since I've installed them using your video, but just learned that the top washer may, possibly, need to be installed the other way. From Bilstein's instructions: "F. Install the upper bushing, Bilstein washer (concave side down), and lock nut onto the shock stem. If a chassis hoist has been used, be sure to lower the vehicle such that its full weight is on the suspension prior to fully tightening the fasteners."

@AZOverland2017 24 күн бұрын

I followed my instructions that said concave facing up. The picture on the manual also showed it facing up. I have not contacted Bilstein. No issues or sounds for me either

@@AZOverland2017 Ya. Completely random post on a forum led me to look up pics of 5160 installs to try and help them and found an install from 88 Rotors (big installer in Southern California) with the washer the other way. Piqued my interest so I googled "Bilstein 5160 Install Instructions" and found a Bilsten official link with a PDF which showed the washer the other way. And, of course, I have my 6112 instructions, but can't find my 5160 instructions. Not worried about it; it's more of a curiosity at this point.

Best "budget" set up in my opinion.

@AZOverland2017 9 ай бұрын

I think the best budget upgrade would be the Bilstein 5100's. This is certainly a step above that with the larger shock body and reservoir system. But yes, compared to other brands, it could be considered a "budget" upgrade.

@InGratitudeIam 9 ай бұрын

@@AZOverland2017 5100s really aren't designed for offroad use. After constant vibration from trails, they do lose their effectiveness after a while, both on the trail and lifespan. The 6112s in the front and 5160s in the back are a much better value for money and far more effective. It's night and day, especially if you have added weight to your vehicle like bumpers, winches, a rack, camping stuff, drawers or bins... and don't forget the Westcott Designs Ladder.

Another great video! I’m about to do this same suspension. How much do you charge for install ??

@AZOverland2017 9 ай бұрын

I don't do this for a living anymore as I used to. I am considering doing side jobs while I'm in the off season for my job and I have more time. But, I'm not quite sure what I'd charge. I had another subscriber tell me a shop wanted to charge $4-$500. I would do it for less than that If I were to do this for someone since I don't have the overhead they do.

@NerdPerson23 9 ай бұрын

@@AZOverland2017 that makes a lot of sense. I have been quoted around $1.2k for install for the front Bilstein 6112 and rear 5160. I would love to learn to do this install myself. One of the main reason I got the 4runner is so I can upgrade and repair mostly myself. However I am not confident enough to tackle this alone. Paying over $1k for labor without learning how maintain or repair seems wasteful to me, and I'm sure there is a community who agrees. Obtaining the skills and knowledge to repair and perform future installs is far more valuable.

@AZOverland2017 7 ай бұрын

I don't see how the rear end could drop far enough without either unbolting the sway bar directly from the axle housings or form the end links. I just think it's easier to unbolt the bar directly.
