The 6112 Bilstein have 600 lb spings and will support the weight of most bumper and winch combos....The 5160 are a firm digressive shock , that will work best with a softer progressive spring pack.

The transfer case output shaft angle is what it is, Don't mess with it...After the Woods 1pc is installed the Pinion angle will need to be lowered (thick end of shim forward under the leafs) to get the Diff flange close to parallel with the Output flange angle...how much depends on the mods...

After measuring and calculating what I needed.
