So glad I found this video. I installed 6112s on my FJ last night and referenced this video continuously throughout the installation. Thank you!

Best video I’ve seen on the subject! Very clear, concise and easy to follow. Your explanations are fantastic. This video is the standard to shoot for. Thank you very much.

Yeah good job! No compressor method in my opinion is the easiest method. Exactly how I did my 4Runner, but I didn’t even disconnect the sway bar end links. Don’t forget the loctite on those bottom ball joint bolts.

SWEET ! Looks like a good way to do it as long as one is careful like you were. I think vice grips might be better than channel locks if you have a ratcheting wrench. Nice install !!

Quick Tip: at (2:13) The sway bar bolt actually has an Allen hole inside the of bolt to hold it in place while loosening the nut.. (found out after failed attempts)

So how much lift to it eventually achieve? It seems that adding a winch and bumper would be problematic if you are already on the highest lift setting and only getting 3”? If you wanted to stay 3”. Highest setting with winch/ bumper would maybe be at 2-2.5”?

Nice and clear video - well done. After the lift, how did the CV shafts sit relative to horizontal? Just saying because if the CV shaft dips down quite a lot towards the wheel side, that would put extra loading on the CV joints while 4x4 is engaged.

That's same method im going to have to do when putting a lift on my 2018 Tacoma because I heard most spring compressors won't fit in the coils.

You have had both bilstein 5100 and 6112. How do they compare. ?is the 6112 on road ride? To me bilsteind are great at highway speed but slow speed its a little stiff. I have heard the 5100 are stiffer then the 4600 and I have heard the 6112 is a better ride bc it handles things easier but at slow speed I have not heard if its stiffer then 5100?the same??a little.smoother? I keep hearing the 61q2 is better bc less preasure inside but then i heard since its a 2.5 shock that its gonna be overkill and ride like a.brick ...your input.would be appreciated

The kit you have listed says it's for FJs with 150-200lbs in the front but I don't see you have a front bumper other than the grille guard. Is that for sure the kit you ordered? I am debating this kit on the 4runner but I've got different shops telling me different part numbers and Bilsteins website has them differentiated by weight.

Thought they'd be a bit more durable and wanted to compare with the 5100s. Having had both I'd probably lean toward recommending 5100s because of the competitive price.
