Bilstein 6100 Installed on 2DR Badlands Sasquatch

[Lifeliberty]

Didnt do the install, but it was $700--Chicago prices.

Do you have the part numbers?

What a great looking ride. I have the 6112s on my 4dr and they are pretty sweet as well. Great mod

We currently have the 6100s on the front of our 2 door as well to level after adding a winch. The install was fairly easy, but a spring compressor is required. Retains stock ride quality. We sell them for $299/ea. But, for the same price most people are going with the 4WP/PC pre-assembled coilovers.

For reference, here's the part numbers for 2 door and 4 door versions:

6100s (shock only, no coil spring - re-uses sasquatch coils): $299/ea

Front:
2DR - 24-325561
4DR - 24-318594

Rear:
2DR - 24-325578
4DR - 24-318600

6112s (shock & coil springs): $799/set

Front:
2DR - 47-325586
4DR - 47-313996

Rear:
2DR - 47-325593
4DR - 47-314009

That's a really nice spring compressor. I am not sure if the cheapie ones would work? Anyone else do this yourself at home with a standard rented or purchased spring compressor? I'm really interested in these shocks but would need to install them myself. Shops around my area are not good and charge ridiculous $$.

I installed mine with a borrowed autozone spring compressor.
PS: RockAuto has the shocks for $198.79 Each plus shipping. I paid less than $850 for my 4 shocks shipped to my door!

In the past I've successfully used free loaner spring compressor tools offered by AutoZone and other such parts shops, not sure if they still do that.

I did my shock install about 2 months ago

I've done spring swaps with the cheapy Harbor Freight spring compressors and what I thought was a quality Vevor floor mounted spring compressor. The Vevor tool only worked 1 time and I had to use the cheapy style to finish the job.

Junk:

Man that Rockauto Price is tempting... I was going to go the 4WP/ProComp route but $850 for those 6100's are hard to beat. Does anyone have input on how the two match up? 6100 vs 4WP/procomp coilovers?

 

[userdude]

One is for Front(...61), other is rear (...78)

I meant the B8.

What I've been told is that the 4WP's are minimum 2.5" on the 2dr. Is that right? I don't want more than 2", preferably 1.5". I would definitely consider them if that were possible.

I haven't found any meaning for it yet either, but I think the part numbers are correct

Is there a noticeable improvement in getting new springs versus reusing the stock sasquatch ones?

 

[timhood]

Those of you who have had the 6100s installed, how do they perform when rock crawling? Are they as willing to articulate as the stock Badlands setup?

 

[timhood]

Circlip position pictured is #4 f/r which is a slight lift over stock; +1” f/+.7”r.

So, is that the 4th highest or lowest amount of lift?

So, is that the 4th highest or lowest amount of lift?

4th highest, literally number 4 on the scale upwards in lift increments.
And unsure on spring quality of reuse vs. new, but as data i reused my stock sas springs as I've only 1,500 miles on the truck.
