Bilstein 6112 Front Coilover + 5100 Rear Shock Kit | 2015-2020 Ford F-150 4WD | 0-2 in Front Lift
Good to know before you buy
Fits
- 2015-2020 Ford F-150 4WD, stock height through 2 in of front lift, stock to 1 in rear
Does not fit: 2WD trucks, Raptor, Limited with adaptive dampers
How this kit works
The 6112 replaces the entire front strut assembly: a 60mm monotube body, new application-specific coil springs, and an adjustable lower spring seat that sets front height from stock to about 2 in. Unlike the 5100, you do not reuse your factory coils, so tired springs and sagging ride height go away with the old struts. The kit ships unassembled; the spring, seat and strut are compressed and assembled on a spring compressor, then bolted in with your factory upper mount. The 5100 rears are direct replacements sized for a stock to 1 in rear.
- You reuse: factory upper strut mounts and mounting bolts
- You replace: both front struts and coil springs, both rear shocks
- You need: a spring compressor (or a shop) to assemble the fronts, and an alignment after install
Why this kit
The F-150 forum consensus is simple: the 5100 is the value level, the 6112 is the better all-around front if the budget allows. The 60mm body holds more oil and a bigger piston, the matched spring corrects for 33 to 35 in tires and a bumper or winch, and the ride is firmer and more controlled without being harsh. This kit pairs it with 5100 rears for the owner who wants the 6112 front without paying for reservoir rears; step to the 6112 + 5160 kit if you tow or run washboard regularly.

Questions
Do I get new springs?
Yes. The 6112 includes application-specific coil springs. Your factory coils and any spacer come off the truck.
Does it come assembled?
No. The 6112 ships as strut, spring and seat, and needs a spring compressor to assemble. Plan on 2 hours per side including assembly, plus an alignment.
Do I need upper control arms?
Not at the 2 in maximum this kit provides on a 2015-2020 F-150. UCAs become worth considering above about 2.5 in.
What tire size fits?
33 in tires fit at the top setting on factory wheels with minor trimming; 34 to 35 in depends on wheel offset and trimming.
What is the warranty?
Limited lifetime warranty through Bilstein North America, processed through the original place of purchase. Keep your Hannah Suspension order confirmation.
