6112 Setting and Tire/Wheel Combo Thread.

Suspension and tires completed:
Bilstein 6112 @ 1.9" w/ 0.5" CB Shim (driver side)
Bilstein 5160 Rear w/ CB Shackle +2 (1.25" lift)
Toyo Open Country ATIII LT295/70/18



Decided to throw in the TRD skid plate. Like how the red accents blends together.



Had to trim the back part of the mud flap (furthest part of the it) and redrill a third screw. (Driver side)

Passenger side

Something different.

 

Looking for advice. Here a list of parts I have waiting to install. The only component I need help on is the tires.

6112 at 1.9 with 2 CB driver shims, 1 pass
5160 2+ CB shackles
CB front bumper shims
18x9 +12 FN BFD wheels

Just would love to figure out what tire and size I should go with. A true 35, a 295/70, or a 285? I do know I will be running an AT style tire, maybe a hybrid of some sort, but definitely not a MT

 

Your setup is gonna be awesome. I think your truck will be leveled out. My rear is about 2" higher than the front but that was the look I was going for.
Besides choosing what size tires: I would narrow it down between the 295/70 and a 35". The 285 might not cover your wheel well as much as a 295, but if staying stock the 285 looks good. Going up to a 35" you might be able to get away from removing the mud flap since you're doing the front bumper shims and front lift, but heavier tire means lower MPG.
Honest truth, going up to a 295/70 it did feel heavier. I can't imagine what a 35" would feel like.
Hope this helps. Good luck on the build. Post your truck up we like to see it! Thanks.

 

when you say , "staying stock " do you mean wheels ? ....i'm trying to decide tire sizes myself

 

No, I mean stock suspension. No lift or change to suspension.

 

You ended with 2 inch rake with your set up? I ordered 6112 after the ray 10s rubbed on 275 70. Back and forth on the plus 3 and plus 2 coach CB. I went with 1.9 setting and stock measurements are right around 2 inch rake

 

Yes. It will still rub lightly with the 275/70. Going up to a 295/70 definitely had to trim part of the mud flap. I went with CB shackles +2 (1.25 inches).

Truck looks good.

 

I barley rub now with the set up I have truck is currently stock. I just dont want to look too much like a stink bug with the +3 shackles and only going 1.9 with no shims

 

I love my 285/75/18's. i am glad I went with them over a 35/12.5/18

 

Curious about this too since I also heard 2"+ shackles might cause clearance issues with the TRD exhaust.

 

Oh for sure. If you go with the CB +3 shackles, rear is going to sit higher if no shims up front. Stick with the CB +2. I think going with CB +3 I would have to set the lift at 2.5"

 

It should not interfere with the TRD Dual Exhaust according to Coachbuilder. That's why on ToyTec website, they say minor modification might be needed if installing the dual exhaust. That is why I choose to go with CB. Will know when I install the exhaust if there is any problem.

 

what brand tire you go with ?

 

Falken Wildpeak at3w

 

do you have a picture of your truck ?

 

dude ...your truck looks awesome ....reason i asked is ....just traded my 17' Tacoma in for a 17' DC Tundra ..but need to get new tires . I have the Bilstein 6112/5160 here ready to go just trying to decide on tires

 

Thanks man, I’m happy with it

 

Perfect setup.

 

6112's at top setting
5100's rear
Icon Mini-Pack leaf springs +1.5"
OEM TRD wheels with +60 offset
Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 295/70 R18 tires
Trim back corners of skid plate

 

6112's at top setting with 2 shims driver, 1 passenger. 1.5 rear shackle with 5160's. Method Grid 18's, 0 offset with 305/70r18 KO2's. I was just testing these so I don't have the hub covers on here.

 

This SX trim would have been my first choice if they offered them earlier last year. Too bad only available in white, red, and black. Love the color keyed grill and bumper, de-badged all around. Just a nice plain looking truck.

 

Very interested in your results as you are going bigger than what I looking at (295/70r18 or 285/75r17) but with the same suspension. How is the ride with the leaf pack? How far are your tire outside the wheel wells? Does it rub at all or bottom out on the fender?

Looks gorgeous though.

i need some feed back ...i am not in a huge rush . I have 6112 and 5160 sitting here in my living room . I am keeping the stock wheels . I am looking for more height .Would the experts go with a 285/75/18 or a 305/70/18 tire .......i am looking for the most minimal rub of course

 

Mine is the SR5 TRD Sport 2018. I de-Badged and removed all logos in the first week. De-chromed recently, suspension changes and TRD exhaust.

 

Just purchased 6112/5160 kit (with a new top mount to go with it). Also have three .5" shims, Camburg UCAs, and a Deaver Mini pack f85 going in the rear with no shackles.

Goal is to set the 6112 at 1.9" with two .5" lift coachbuilder shims for the driver side and one .5" shim for the passenger side. As I understand it, that should level out my driver side with my passenger side, and lift the front up to level it with the stock rear (~2.5").

Performance lifts tell me the Deaver f85 provides about 1-1.5" of lift in the rear, and so I'm foregoing getting shackles in hopes that the Deaver will help provide about 1-1.5" rake keeping the stock shackles.

Goal is for the rake to stay between 1-1.75".

Shoes going on her are matte black Stealth Custom SR8s with +25 offset wrapped in 285/75r18 Duratracs.

Haven't seen much on here that speaks for the height that the Deaver's will provide. I was debating pairing them with the CB.625 shackles but don't want to risk being too high in the rear.

I'll be running the bump stop washer up front, carrier bearing drop kit (for the 1" rear lift to avoid vibrations), and the diff drop kit to help with the CV angles. All that, and a CB power steering rack and poly bushing kit.

Anybody have any experience, advice or guidance with this setup?

Really looking for some feedback on the Deaver f85 pack working with the 6112/5160 too. Curious what height I'd get out of the deavers and how much I should anticipate them settling.

Also, being told by a mechanic that I likely won't need to do the BMC given my offset and UCAs. I thought I'd have to regardless with these tires.

Thanks in advance for anybody taking the time.

 

Can't help ya with the Deavers but you'll like the ride on those 6112's, at least I do

 

I'm 2.5" up front, stock UCA's with 285/75/18's wrapped around methods with +18 offset and 5.75" back spacing. Had it aligned and no rubs on my cab mount... i bought the relentless plates in anticipation though.

 

I have never had Deaver springs, but the consensus is that they are great for about a year or so and then they flatten out and sag. Running 285/75-18s without a bmc will be tough, from what I have read 295/70-18 is as big as you can run without getting a bmc. I think I remember some being able to run 285/75-18, but I am not sure what they had to do to fit them. The Goodyear Duratracs are a great tire, they are just insanely noisy!
