[@markherron2103]

Thank you for all of the videos and reviews. Greatly appreciated!

[@studio3686]

And how do these Bilsteins (along with Fox & Icon) all compare with the HaloLifts coilovers on a weekend warrior application? Halo's coilovers seem to be getting great reviews everywhere. Your answer will dictate what i buy from you. =)

[@fratdaddy7434]

I’m in the same boat these the eibach or fox 2.0 roush . What did you end up doing and how have you liked it ?

[@chrisginoc]

2015 Tacoma 4x4. No rock climbing or anything hardcore. Just fireroads, hauling a trailer with some quads and sand toys to the desert and camping with the wife and kids. Would you recommend the Bilstein 6112's as a good all around first suspension kit? Looking to do it right the the first time.

[@stage3motorsports]

Chris this setup is a great option for your Tacoma and the weekends outdoors with your family! We don't have these listed for Tacomas on our website yet but give us a call to get yours ordered today! 623-434-5277

[@danr3545]

I would first trade in your Tacoma for a real truck.

[@thegreatempire3882]

At 2:45, did you mean the B8s will compromise or will not compromise the on road experience? I use to had Monroe reflex installed on my my old truck’s rear axle and loved them. It especially help with the role and the old Cadillac bounce I use to have. I’m looking at the 6112 for my current 2017 Ram 1500

[@ThisIsDavesGarage]

Would like a comparison between the FOX 2.0 or 2.5. We want to know which provides the softer ride for daily commuters on weekdays.

[@stage3motorsports]

Thanks for commenting and letting us know what you want to see from our channel! We’ve had several request for these types of comparisons and will be creating something to answer you all in the future!

[@fratdaddy7434]

I’m thinking this kit or a rough country 4in suspension lift . I enjoy overlanding in arizona usually hitting deep sand and pretty rough backcountry. Any recommendations would be great !

[@matthewbuse8817]

Where near SLC did you go? I'm installing these this weekend and need a proving ground...

[@Gmaker202]

Harsher compared to the shocks on a regular 4x4 equipped truck or an FX4 equipped truck?

[@dad3562]

Did you ever find that out?

[@The007astig]

This will be perfect for my F150, My off road is winter months in canada the road is rough when snow get hard on the road. And pot holes on spring when it appear it's like a obstacles,Is this good enough to jump over hill of hard snow?

[@stevenfox5]

What rides better? Fox 2.0 or this setup?

[@fastferrachi1]

Steven, I already asked this question. The fox 2.0 is going to be a lot more harsh on the street the valving is geared towards a little more off-road. For the price point in off-road performance of this Bilstein setup, I think this is an excellent choice for all around use in my personal opinion.

[@stage3motorsports]

Steven Fastgerrachi is right!

[@toshmago]

@@fastferrachi1 I've heard the opposite. Everything I've read is the bilstein is stiffer on the street

[@elirodriguez514]

thomas oshmago I agree that’s why I’ve had mixed emotions

[@fastferrachi1]

@@toshmago Guess we really won't know until we get a set. I decided to go with the Fox 2.0. Easier to install at the house.

[@danr3545]

Just ordered the stage two Bilstein from you guys. Could I fit some 35’s on my 2018 if I cut my crash bars as do a little trimming?

[@tekenology]

Did you end up being able to fit 35s

[@XxsoonerbornxX]

Unless you are off-roading several times a week these are a waste of money. 5100's all around are generally the better option.

[@amateurbiggamehunter7691]

At full droop, new UCA’s needed? 2016 F150 fx4

[@dasboot9471]

They make you feel better? is that really a performance benefit guy?

[@Aaronm123]

Why did you remove the dust cover?

[@matt538]

Does this kit put a lot of angle on the axles

[@jasoningle43]

How do these effect towing and hauling capabilities on a stock F150 SC FX4? Will it decrease the load amounts or sagging in the rear? Thanks

[@spoderman8414]

Likely little to no change because the rear struts are there to stabilize, not support the vehicle.

[@michael5704]

Could I set these at .5 inch of lift and use my 2.5 inch spacers to create 3inch lift? Would I need UCAs?

[@johnnytorres277]

01:12 Beautiful Scenery. Where was this taken?

[@stage3motorsports]

It was one incredible morning Mauro, this is in Moab, Utah

[@abdonperez27]

Great review, thanks. Also, nice cap!

Hopefully one day we'll be driving these things in space 🚀

[@abdonperez27]

@@stage3motorsports I work in that industry. I feel the same way!

[@stevenpeterson7234]

I love bilstein shocks but it sucks that they don't have a 4 or 6 inch option. The tallest that bilstein has is a 3 inche lift.

[@stage3motorsports]

We agree Steven with the quality of these leveling kit we'd love to see a lift from Bilstein but who knows what the future holds

[@gman0812]

Which bilstein offers 3” for 2023 f150?

[@ncurc9766]

I put the 5100s on my 2016 ram at the 2.1 setting and I feel like they made the ride way to stiff, on the highway it's ok, but around town hitting broken pavement and poorly maintained roads its rough lol

[@hithere7382]

@@757Adventurer I run my k02s in my 16 f150 at 40 psi unless on really crappy ~roads or not roads.

[@rodrigotellez467]

How do they handle when it comes to dirt trails and dunes and some light pre-running driving?

[@stage3motorsports]

Based on our experience driving these through some light sand, not dune territory was they handled well, once you get into the thick of it that might change but for light pre-running these would be a great option!

[@dlg5485]

I'd like to upgrade to these on my soon coming 2021 F-150, but I want to run 285/60r20 Falken Wildpeaks which are a 33.5 inch tire. They'll probably still work fine, but I'll wait for someone to test that setup on a 2021 first.

[@Krashbandit420]

what did you go with?

[@dlg5485]

@@Krashbandit420 Nothing. Ford's F-150 orders were so unreliable that I decided to cancel mine, so I never even got one. Still have my old Nissan Frontier. Looking back, I'm glad I didn't because they're having all kinds of quality problems with the current gen F-150s.

[@MrWilierizoard]

Is there any way to get 3 inches of lift with these coilovers? I plan on pairing them with dirt king UCA’s.

[@stage3motorsports]

These will only get you 2" of ride height, give our team a call for more on the best option for reaching 3" 623-434-5277

[@rudymartinez3571]

How do these ride with a loaded bed?

[@stage3motorsports]

These ride very well with a loaded bed on and offroad

[@alexkowalewski4854]

What are the dimensions of the tires you were able to fit with this set up?

You'll want the other kit for this one Matt find them here - www.stage3motorsports.com/47-244634-2009-2013-F150-4WD-Bilstein-B8-6112-Front-Coilover-Kit.html

[@kylekirchner1163]

Matt I asked bilstein th e same question, they said no. Fox has the same part number for their shocks 14 thru 20. May it will work...

[@earlyblackmz]

Can you add a leveling puck to them for a higher lift?

[@zb6618]

How high are you trying to go?

[@skymaster9484]

I see on Shock Surplus they sell Fox 2.0 with a 1/4" spacer that is supposed to bring it to 2 1/2" of lift which would be perfect for my 2019 FX4. I have a 2" inch puck now and it looks nice but still about 1" of rake I want level.

[@MrMexicool13]

​@skymaster9484 just remove the blocks in the rear to level it out. They are about 1" to 1 1/4" blocks

[@monkeycbrown]

I would like here tout thoughts if these vs the fox and icon.

[@stage3motorsports]

Stay tuned J.C. you're not the only one and we're going to be answering this question soon!

Lighter spring rate.
