I just add 8112s w/SPC UCAs, couldn't find 8100s in stock anywhere for the rears so I went with 5160s as a place holder! Fuel Rebel 20x9x1 +1 w/General Grabber ATX 285/60/20. Your vids helped me make my decision. Your content is the only available, along with 2 (now 3 w/mine) threads in the forums, for the 8112s for the F150. Felt like I was taking a little bit of a leap over something like an ICON/King/Fox where there's tons of content/reviews available. I am so glad I did! I had kings on my tacoma in the past, and while I know that platform is totally different, these 8112s are IMO even more balanced w/better on road feel, and even the 5160s in the rear until I can get ahold of 8112s, have made my ride so stable, very low body roll, no more nose dive, and the combination these first few days over these rough ice and snow laden NE roads, has blown me away. Any one seeing these and wondering if you should make the jump instead of one of the other higher end 2.5 brands, don't even sweat it, you will thank y our self for trying something different! And for the age old question, with them adjusted to 2.5 and 1.5in block in the rear, I have no rub at full lock in either direction. Didn't touch front crash bar and I am sitting with .75" rake. SPCs made alignment a breeze.

Another quality video by Noah! Interested to see how this one turns out as you've basically outlined all my exact wants and needs for my 2020 3.5 EB. Haven't seen that set of bilsteins yet, they look sweet. Great build so far looking forward to next video.

You’re awesome because you take your time to explain everything thanks buddy

Thanks Noah. Love all the tips on the little things.

Those bilstein actually look really nice.

The 17's are just the right size for any tire smaller than 35'' imo.

You use a 16 for anything under 35. 35s and beyond should always be on 17s unless it’s one of the trucks that has larger rotors and calipers like the newest gen ram 1500s then you can’t run 17s, 18s fit. That is the only scenario that a intelligent person would go above 17.

@Bmxr-tt5pc I've got both setups for my truck and, 17's are the smallest rims that will clear the calipers in my case. The 20's are collecting dust.

After seeing this video I talked myself into buying the Bilstein 8112 / 8100 for my 2015 F150 Fx4 Platinum Screw . I’m very impressed with the set up . Had the front set at 1.5 inch and ended up with a 1.75 rake … ride is incredible

I'm having a hard time finding these 8112 bilstein coilovers for my 2020 f150 lariat? Why is this ?

Rough country needs to take notes! I did the vertex coilovers and matching rears, the instructions were pretty bad. I also had to wind off all the preload to get 2.5inch lift, was the 3inch lift kit. When installing it was near sitting at 4inches. I did a add a leaf too in the rear, all said and done in happy with the product.

A lot of brands would benefit from more detailed install instructions, great to hear you're happy with your new setup!

What wheel and tire set up is on the red f150 at minute 18:14?

my '15 ram doesn't even have close to that much rust...and that's a brand new ford....crazy.

Any reason you didn’t just go ahead and replace the upper control arms?

Do 8112 need to be rebuilt regularly?

how you guys install kits without removing the cv axle nut to give more play is beyond me. I had a hell of a time even with the extra flex

No Bilstein UCAs?🤔

This Bilstein kit is only designed to work on 2015-2020 trucks. Even though the 14th gen is very similar, it's not an exact match and the spring rates and geometry are slightly different.

Love what you did to the truck, but why not replace the UCA's too? Wouldn't want the OEM's to fail 20-40K miles from now.

If the goal is to use the truck off-road sometimes, why settle for the “bead look?” … How dependable will airing down be without actual bead locks?
