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 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 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 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
