I have the 6112/5160 combo on my f150, and it is great on-road. I've had it on for 33k miles already, and still riding great.

Awesome. Was considering this exact same setup for my Tacoma. Do you have a one month update?

Put 6112 of my Tacoma and rides worse Than a dump truck

You're right that most people who buy racing style coilovers don't use them to their full potential. Those coilovers really shine in prolonged high speed high abuse conditions. But most people simply aren't doing that. Glad to hear you like your Fox setup!

I had 5100s on my xterra and switched to radflo 2.5 reservoirs and the difference is night and day I can now run sand washes in 2wd and now the 5165 bilstiens in the rear can't keep up with the Front

How much did the fox 2.0 suspension kit cost?

@@bradenziegler7069 at the time i purchased it about 900. it's gone up since.

For icon they suck, I got the stage 1 kit from icon had it for a year already blown…most of the driving is pavement, trailing on the weekend…I call customer service and fill out the form, nothing been another year no respond…so now wasting more money on what the next suspension, thing about bilstein there cheap and good quality that what ppl are tell me… So yea don’t get ICON worst on everything…

5160s for rear imo

Aldo! I would recommend either kit, depending on your budget. The Fox kit will ride a little nicer but it's more expensive. Let your budget make the decision for you. :)

@@AlldogsOffroadCoop Thank you for answering my question! My budget is in the $2500 range and since I'm going to go with UCA's as well, I think the 5100's seems like the way to go for my "Pro 2X." I do like the 6112's pairing with the 5160's though.. Maybe I just like Bilsteins. Thanks again!

@@morefreepress I have the bilstein 6112/5160 and they are amazing shocks for the price. I have a 2019 tacoma and been on washboard going 30 to 40 mph and the suspension just eats up the bumps/potholes with ease, even with about 400 pounds of gear in the bed and 3 adults inside. I wouldn't recommend anything less. Plus they have a low failure rate.

This is what I find out after researching online. Most people choosing 5160 in the rear.

I have been doing research. what i found is they are exactly 6112/5160s.

Get some UCAs

you can pair shocks as you please. the fox may not ride the same as the 5160s though. could be softer or more firm. no harm in running fox fronts though

How did you like them? How do they preform on the roads, highway etc. please be descriptive if you can I’m about to order from wheelersoffoad soon

Agreed I went 6112/5160

@@petemedin9698 you still want an answer? I got 6112s but don't like them

@@Millirawk so you DON’T like the 6112’s? If you get this reply….plz elaborate a bit? And maybe not from you…but I’d like a user review of the fox’s on a Frontier too.

@@jasongaudreau2075 so I have sir on a tundra platform, ive ran them on 35" toyos which were E load, the ride quality was so ridiculously rough mainly due to the tires, but even on my stock tires it's still pretty stiff. Road manners are excellent, but rough. There's absolutely no dip under hard braking or going on a bend, however for off roading which is why I mainly upgraded the shocks, you definitely don't want bilstein if you're gonna do any kind of off roading on a regular basis

Have you received the Uca yet

Great question! In a non-covid world, both kits are readily available. Pricing is pretty close. The fox kit will usually land $100 or so more expensive.

@@AlldogsOffroadCoop Hence the problem, we are still dealing with the shortages and long wait times. I want to buy now, I called to buy the Bilstein's you guys said at least 3 months.

FOX 100%

They don't, on their own. They would be too short.

@@AlldogsOffroadCoop do you think with a 2-3 inch spacer would make them work?

@@jalvrzzz5.015 I have them fox 2.0 on my swap with a 2 inch spacer and im going to different setup so they are for sale! If interested haha

@@jakewomacksunday how much do you want for the pair?

fox is the better riding coilover

I’m thinking about the bilstein 6112…I have icon stage 1 worst suspension ever it already blown in a year, basically pavement weekend trailing…but I heard the new rough county vertex 3.5 in and has rev is really good kit…it a new suspension they design might give that a try

@@tonydouangphachanh5343 I've had my 6112/5160 on my tacoma for about 6500k miles and I'm actually really harsh on them. I also skipped on the icons as I hears horrible things about them. To be honest the 6112s are great and best bang for your buck. They ride great on the road and perform really well off road. They are smooth and have great control over all and you can go much faster on washboard. If you do lots of high speed/washboard a fox 2.5 would have a better linear feel. The 6112s are amazing for the price and better over any 2.0 shock out there in my opinion. They ride amazing in the canyons as well os tight curves. Best of both worlds.

@@tonydouangphachanh5343 btw a friend got fox 2.0 and the bilstein are better in my opinion. I can hit 40 mph with the 6112s comfortably and before with the stock suspension it was super harsh at 30 on the same road plus the rear end use to "hop" a lot . In all honesty I'd get the bilstein 6112 5160 setup as a bare minimum or upgrade to a 2.5 from fox or kings. For the price range in my opinion nothing can beat the 6112s

@@tonydouangphachanh5343 I honestly know so many people who have bought icons and have had them leak within the first few months and most don't even off road much at all. But then again I know a few that have had them for years with no issues. I don't think icon has good quality control and I personally would never buy icon. It's insane to buy a suspension that's 2 to 3 thousand dollars for it to literally fail within the first few weeks.

Thanks for your detailed comments. I have been doing research and was almost settling on 6112/5160, but seems even though their quality and on road performance is great, it seems off-road performance on washboards and bumps must be not good as they are digressive. So, now I am considering Fox 2.0 which has linear valving that is better for fast off-roading according to some source. however Fox quality is probably not great as you wrote... on the later comment, you wrote you think 6112/5160 is better than any 2.0. do you have experience with Fox 2.0? any updates? my primary goal is to go fast off-road comfortably. I often drive long distance off-road

Better bet is fox, I got 6112s on my tundra and it's a pretty rough ride on street and dirt, gonna swap to Fox 2.5 eventually

@@Millirawk roger that! Thank you for the response!

@@dad3562 he's crazy lol. They ride fine I've had them on my truck for a while and I off road a lot. Keep in mind that they're 1400 dls so don't expect your ranger to ride like a fully built baja race truck like he did. They're definitely an improvement over stock and are Slightly stiffer on road but so are the fox. They usually come with a higher spring rate so it can handle more off road stuff and not bottom out which equals to Slightly stiffer ride when on road. The only issue with the 6112s is that it's digressive which makes it better on road but also can be a bit unpredictable when off road as it won't soften up until you hit bigger bumps or go faster unlike the fox that will probably have better control. My 6112s don't get soft/smooth till I start pushing them. So basically sometimes I need to go 30 or 40 over washboard so the suspension softens up. It makes you feel like you can't go faster because it's a bit stiff but it actually softens up. The fox is just a better option for off roading but it's not necessarily softer. It's hard to explain. You really have to own them to experience them. I'm installing fox 2.0 and reservoir on other tacoma because I don't wanna have the same on both but I would definitely buy the 6112s again.

Also I'm assuming you're driving a ranger???? If you have a full size the bilstein are way better over the fox 2.0 btw. In a midsize I guess they're fine unless you do high speed for a long time. Then I'd do 6112s instead as they are just simply bigger.

@@alexgarcia3900 I ended going with the Old Man Emu full suspension kit “heavy” since someday I’ll have a bumper and winch. I ended up taking off my sway bar as a test and holy crap, this sucker is amazing off road lol. I couldn’t imagine what other ones would feel like lol. Then again I thought the FX4 shocks felt pretty good for what it was.

They’re out of them for a lot of makes and models. Bilstein puts manufacturer shocks first and then builds the rest when they have time.

@@AlldogsOffroadCoop that's bad news for me... All I can find are the trash rough country n3 lifted struts... Guess I'm putting the spacer in with new uca's and waiting for parts to become available

we have 22k on our 3rd gen and around 20k on our 2nd gen with fox shocks with zero issues.
