From what I’ve researched the FP branded Bilsteins are the same 2.6” diameter as the 6112s not sure though if the spring is same as comes with Bilstein 6112s or if FP changed anything or not. Reason I went with Bilstein 6112 package vs FP was I want to be able to adjust height if necessary after adding skids/steel bumpers, etc.
Nice, you’re going to like the 6112s, vast improvement in ride/handling. And, as Aonarch pointed out (above), the trac bar relo bracket really does help. Be sure you have the most recent ver. of Bilstein install instructions for your application as they are different clip location heights for different Bronco trims AND the clip height locations are different between the front and rear. When I installed 4 to 6 weeks ago, the most recent instructions were the 5/2022 ver. and older/outdated clip height tables were included with coil-overs, so I had to get updated stuff through my seller (Shock Surplus). Good luck…
Yes I am aware of the updated settings tables. I am having mine installed by a well respected local 4x4 shop (Checkered Automotive in Chula Vista), but will remind them of this. My request is lowest lift, I neither need nor want more than 2" with the 33s.
FP are 6100s, which are the same general shock as the 6112. The difference is the springs. The FP kit uses Sasquatch springs. 6112s use Bilstein springs.
According to the lift table at Shock Surplus, the 6112 is also not very friendly towards 2dr Broncos, while FP sells a set tuned for them
Do you have any photos of the Bronco?
Really, better than the stock Bilsteins? I’m thinking about getting the 6112’s, there such a good value.
That's what all reviews say. On road at low speeds they are supposedly less stiff with less nosedive than HOSS 2.0. Off-road at low speed they are said to be similar, and better at high speed where the digressive valving tends to make them sloppy. Shock Surplus has a great comparison video on YT.
Yes. I'm on setting 4 and 35s. Offroaded hard and no rubs. No regrets, email stage 3.they are a sponsor and will give you a great deal
I do sir, see post #1 this thread (and below from there).
What clip positions did you do on your lift?Pics of my horsey before and after 6112s. Lift is 2.1" in front and 2.4" in back. Incoming rake was 10mm. I like the outcome. Reasonable lift without the wheel wells looking ridiculously empty. Used the opportunity to install the RC rack and pinion bushings and the trac bar relo bracket.
For the avoidance of doubt, work was done professionally, I would never dream of doing something like this on my own. I loaned the truck to Bilstein for a week to test fit some new gear, and they have been supremely professional throughout the entire process.
Don't know off the top of my head. Will look tomorrow.
