Bilstein 6120s and 3.0 lift

Bananas2Coast · Jul 18, 2023

Has anyone put the 6120s on they’re 3.0 duramax? And if so what setting? I really want to pull the plug and buy them and set to the highest but if I can’t get the 1.2 lift because the 3.0’s get reduced lift then I think it’s kinda pointless. I’ve called multiple shops that sell them and they can’t give me a straight answer and bilstein hasn’t responded to my email.

do tell. What's this reduced 3.0 lift? Are the AT4 lifts not all the same from the factory, regardless of the powertrain?

from the factory they are all the same. But when you lift them with aftermarket coil-overs the diesels often times have reduced lift. Spacers give them all the same lift, coil overs do not. I guess it has to do with the 3.0 being heavier.

Interested to know this as well as I just purchased a 3.0 several weeks ago.

I searched a bit and while there's plenty of info on the 3.0 vs the 5.3 etc, couldn't find weight comparisons.
We took several trucks to a river bed area recently and the sand was deep and loose. My 3.0 drove very heavy to the point I wondered if I should have stayed on high ground, lol. During our day, I had to move my cousins gas Ram Hemi and it drove so much lighter on the sand, huge difference.
