I find the 6112s ride a bit better at a slightly higher speed compared to 5100s. Taking rough gravel roads in my truck at 25-30 mph is a little rough, but it surprisingly smooths out around 40-45 mph.
Pros: smooths out around 40-45
Cons: rough at 25-30 mph
I’ve got 6112s after having 5100 and it’s a noticeably better ride and drive
Pros: noticeably better ride
I have 6112’s on my third gen and the difference is pretty amazing. My brother has 5100s on his third gen and I would say my truck feels a lot more planted and controlled. Both are a massive difference over stock.
Pros: more planted and controlled
I have the 5100s and I really like how they ride. Massive improvement over stock.
Pros: massive improvement over stock
I prefer the ride of the 6112/5160 configuration. They are a bit stiffer at first, but once they're broken in, you'll see a huge improvement on and off-road (handles washboards/logging roads, moderate trails, and highway driving beautifully).
Pros: huge improvement on/off-road
Cons: bit stiffer at first
I put 5100’s on my ‘18 4Runner and it was a massive improvement firming up the horrible body roll from the factory.
Pros: massive improvement, firming body
Vehicle:
Toyota 4runner
Mileage: 500 km
Been rocking the 5100’s on my TRD OR, no complaints and going strong after 2 years.
Pros: no complaints, going strong
I put in 5100’s and wished I had spent the extra few hundred bucks for the 6112’s.
Cons: should have bought 6112’s
I started out with 5100s and they were definitely an improvement over stock both on and offroad. I noticed a huge difference when I upgraded to icon 2.5 coilovers though, which are closer to the 6112s.
Pros: improvement over stock
