6112 Setting and Tire/Wheel Combo Thread.

From what I have learned-
Assuming the front are already installed I would first correct the lean either by a (spacer/shim); this will entail removing driver side shock and reinstalling... I went a different route with correcting the lean by staggering settings (1.9/1.3) it worked great for me.
Anyway, after the front is good get it aligned and drive it for a couple weeks to let is settle. Once settled take your measurements of all 4 on a flat surface from center of wheel to wheel well. The difference will tell you the amount you will need to lift rear for the rake you want. I went that route and in the end left rear stock height for .75" rake. I don't plan on towing/hauling loads. Hope this helps.

Missed it by a damn cunt hair! Oh well, maybe the 2022 will be here by the next round of stock haha. Thanks though

 

Seems like a bit high installed correctly? Did you get 1/2 spacer or 1 inch spacers?

 

Yeah it’s right. Shims are 1/2”. It has settled after alignment and some miles. I’m going to remove a shim on each side this weekend.

2wd This is 6112/5100. The front set at lowest clip with 2 shims DS 1 shim PS 1/2” I’ll post another pick when I remove a shim

 

I got an email from Bilsteinlifts.com that they have 6112s back in stock. Never ordered from them though. Online feedback is a little iffy

 

Try shocksurplus. I had great service there! They emailed me yesterday saying they got more in stock. Call first!

 

I've heard good things about them. I went an entirely different direction, just throwing it out there in case someone is looking.

 

If the spacer is 1/2 thick that will give you inch of lift.

 

Yep. 1/2” = 1”. 1/4” = 1/2”.
I have the 1/4 that give you 1/2”

 

Bilstein 6112's at 1.9" up front and 5100's in the rear at stock height.

 

This looks factory to me but im sure the ride is a little better than stock

 

Got ‘em! Thanks @EXCEL Suspension! Now just waiting on my +3 coachbuilder shipment

 

Nice! In the same boat. Just waiting on my CB shims and +3's!

 

Unless you guys are just f’ing with each other...then wouldn’t (2) 1/2” shims on drivers side and (1) 1/2” shim on passenger side over compensate?

 

Set at 1.9 with 1/4” shims. Net gain 3” over stock height.

 

It's to compensate for driver side lean that most tundras have.

 

Nice rig!

 

Thanks!

 

Yes I know. But I’m led to believe it’s a 1/2” lean. I’m reading here that 1/2” shim = 1”. Logic would say that (2) 1/2” shims = 2” and with one shim on passenger side then you have a 1” difference.

like I said maybe those guys are just f’ing with each other??

 

In that case maybe they're compensating for something else.

 

.5in shim = .5in lift you are right

 

Actually the CB shims are 1/4” = 1/2” lift. I assume the 1” of lift are 1/2” thick, only have seen the 1/2” of lift ones.

 

It’s 1/4” thick

 

Clear as mud.

 

What size are your tires? I'm actually getting ready to lift the wife's trd sport . Been thinking dropping to 18s and 295 70r18

 

Agreed need to know what size tire! I just picked up some rock warrior 17” wheels like these and stuck between 285/70 and 285/75 or something I’m not thinking of?

 

285/75r17 , so about a 34" by 11.25" tire.

I will probably go with a 305/70r17 next. Same height, but ~3/4" wider.

 

What model tire is it? I must say your set up looks incredible. How does it ride with the 285’s? I assume some power loss or at least a little feeling of gearing change? Any rubbing issues or spacers used with the rock warrior wheels? Sorry for all the questions but I really appreciate the insight! I looked at 305/70/17 and didn’t find many options and they were all E load and heavy but I guess that’s what you get with larger tires.
