    Glad there’s a fellow rebel in the group on the top notch. Granted, 6112’s don’t go as high as 5100’s if I remember correctly, so my joke may be stupid...

    @FrenchToasty You running 6112 / 5160 on 06 DC? What setting, and how have you liked them so far? When you added them, did you do UCAs as well? Have any current build pics?

    Might look really good. I had my Titan on 22s and it was leveled. I hated it at first, but it grew on me. Still sucked watching for curbs like a hawk though.

    Same settings as @Chundra95 said, top knotch. Also have an aal in the rear, all done by the PO. Also Spc UCAs, I would have went total chaos but that’s just me. I don’t think it rides terrible harsh, our roads are absolute trash around here; I’ve actually gotten pretty good at remembering pot holes and cracks in the pavement.
    I think this pic is with everything installed, 32” tires basically (toyos open county)

    As of right now i haven't done anything with the UCA's, no complications with it, still has room. However for the future i'd love to get me some Camburg or total chaos

    What's a pothole? I hit a gnarly semi hole getting in the freeway with my buddy the other day. He laughed and said he didn't need to tense up like when he hits those in his f350. I smiled and said I told you it drove like a big car.

    I'd like to see a vehicle where the side molding has the LED strip integral to the molding - So effectively the entire side molding flashes.
    If that inset were frosted w/ LED's behind it....

    I did the interior LED lighting thing this weekend. Holy crap that is likely the best $30 that Ive spent. I used the Excel table in the info dump thread and there are a few differences in AC/DC so if I find some downtime this week, I may make something showing those changes.

    This is my 04DC on the 6112/5160 combo. 6th notch with a 3/8 spacer on the Driver's side. Also has a Wheeler AAL pack with the stock overload in the rear. Tried them both on the top (8th), ended up with too much height. Great ride!20200202_155805~2.jpg

    Did you ever look into the eibach 2.5” coilovers? They come 2.5” on lowest setting and you can get additional if needed. Just thinking because you could lessen the preload on the spring but If the 6112 ride good then no need I guess!
