F-150 PowerBoost Bilstein Upgraded with 6112 coil overs & 5160 shocks 

Thanks!! Happy Thanksgiving

Yeah I am a huge fan of what they do for the ride quality in every scenario they are put in.

Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving

Thank you!! Happy thanksgiving.

Thanks. I used a Milwaukee M12 Hackzall. I’ve wanted one for a while and that cut felt like a good enough reason to go buy one. Worked awesome with a fine toothed steel blade.

I think a lot isn’t supported simply because they don’t want people monkeying around trying to access around the high voltage wiring. I don’t know if the Bilstein setup is officially supported or not.

This Bilstein 6112 is not supported for the Powerboost because of the extra weight the PB carries over a comparable 5.0v8 or 3.5v6, hence why he didn't get the advertised lift here. Bilstein is coming out with a specific 6112 for the PB in the near future (so they told me a few months ago).

Thank!! Yeah they have the 5100 and it’s much cheaper as well. You can get both for about $200.

Why get a truck and worry about MPG

Hey Dan do you have any footage you can share on what you had to do to reach that third nut on the passenger side front shock?

Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/4”. Love it.

It gets stiffer in a good way. The truck feels more controlled on bumps rather than bouncing around like crazy.

Thanks!!

I think if you start considering that kind of scenario you should just start looking at an actual BDS 4”. If you do too much with a coil over lift plus spacers I think things would start getting kind of wonky.

the answer is yes. You can get a true level with a spacer and 6112. Is it something you should do? No. Is it ok to run a spacer with that kit? Yes. But to get a true level you will be stressing out other components. On my truck I wanted to run 34 inch tires without removing the crash bars or major trimming. So I run the 6112's on stock height and a 2.5 inch spacer. Only a minor trim on the air damn. Virtually unnoticeable. I do have just a slight rake but not much. Think there's around a 1/2 inch diff from back to front. IMO a slight rake looks and performs better then a true level anyway. Hope that helps

Fair but my problem with 4-6” lifts is then overhead practicality becomes problematic with home garage, parking structures, tree canopies, and makes using the bed much more difficult. Everything has its trade offs I suppose.

@@GearsGadgets once you wheel on some 38’s deflated and some Fox shocks, you’ll never go back. Used to have a SXS but got sick of eating dirt, broken belts and broken suspension parts. Only advantage to a SXS is it’s smaller size. I live in northern AZ and go off road every other weekend.

I don’t think it’s overkill.

@GearsGadgets thanks I really want them for the aesthetics

Talons Garage. They make a pretty awesome kit

@@GearsGadgets Thanks! Wasn’t sure if it was Talons or RCI.

I don't think its "Bumpy" but its also not a Hugh end reservoir shock (fronts) so they are "stiff" because they are intended NOT to blow through the travel and bottom out like factory "bouncy" shocks will. So they are absolutely better than stock but I think some of that criticism is coming from people who are expecting a much more high end shock out of an affordable option.

@@GearsGadgets affordable shock?? how to define?? nothing cheap anymore for those coilover stuff,,, every body asking for a thousand per pair,,, that's not even a reservoir coilover,, MAN,, the stupid fox price tag----$2500 for advance front reservoir coilover ??? and demand high cost service after 50k miles,,, I bet my money on eibach....

Yep

@@GearsGadgets Do you have a video showing how to remove the active air dam?
