Was extremely happy with this coming from a silverado getting <14mpg on the same trip, same gear. That V8 was THIRSTY.

Averaged 21.8 on a 500mi round trip and fully loaded with RTT and gear for a 5 day camping trip. Also has 2.5in lift and stock tire size. Bringing my overall average to 18.4 now. Currently at 6500 miles

I've been looking at switching to this one or this style. Can you leave anything in it when you close it? My bushveld II fits 2 pillows and my deflated exped without issue and would like to keep the same.

Wheels and tires are down the line a few months, but I'm leaning towards your same setup, but in matte bronze. Had the KO2s on my Silverado and liked em, so might as well try out the KO3s.

They say every 36k miles, mine was probably closer to 30-32k miles that they would start squeaking. That's with 10-15 trips, 10-15k miles every year. Even when they started getting loud, performance never dropped, so that was cool. With heavy or aggressive off-roading, they suggest even earlier.

I can't speak to the OME lift, but I did have an Icon stage 3 kit on my Silverado. Loved them but did have to get them rebuilt every 2-3 years depending on how many trips I took. Their performance is great though; was able to fly down dirt roads fully loaded without issue. Decided to go with...

They didn't give me any additional information on the control arms or their heavy duty rear springs. But everything is installed and it rides way better than stock in my opinion. Once their springs are released, I'll be switching to those as it gives 1.75" of lift which will give me some rake...

Looks great! Just got mine back this morning with the 6112/6100 + UCA combo. Now i gotta figure out which wheels and tires I should get. Mine ended up being 2.5" up front with 1.5" in the rear. Pretty much level, with about 1/4" rake still there.

This This is almost exactly what Bilstein is installing for me as we speak, but I'm running the Readylift 1" spacer in the rear. Happy it'll be level with a little weight in it.

Thanks! Here are a few more from that set. Once its back from Bilstein, I'll be able to get it dirty and get some off pavement pics. Photo Cred: @Seenbyjay

😂 I asked to see if I should keep mine mounted or take it off. They specifically asked for it to be as close to stock weight as possible so they can get correct measurements.

Will keep you posted. Pickup date is now set for tomorrow and I'll have it back in another 2 weeks. Also got a little tidbit from them today. They will be testing out heavy load springs paired with the 8112s while they have it this time. No release timeline for the springs though. Once its back...

Bilstein used my 4runner Hybrid for their fitment and testing back in December. They offered me the 6112/6100 combo with UCAs for letting them use it for 3 weeks. It'll be going in next week for install finally. Not sure if its specifically the B8 UCAs or if it's a different model, I just know...

Good to know that the rear pucks aren't needed. I'm having the same kit installed with the B8 UCAs next week!
