    Just installed my 6112s. Love them. Should I wait for the 5160s to come off backorder or get the fox, icons or 5100s? Almost all highway driving with some mild offroading.

    What setting are you at in front, and what are you doing for lift in rear?

    Just wait for the 5160s. I have 6112s and went with 5100s at first. After 2 months I switched to 5160s and the 60s are def a bit softer feeling and really toned down the bed bounce even more than the 5100s did. I had no issues with the ride of the 5100s. They felt great. I just wanted the 5160s and there was a difference in the ride quality.

    I have the 5100's for now. I am strictly pavement...unless i need to turn around in a gravel driveway and there is a puddle. That is about the most off-roading i have done thus far. Lol
    I agree though and i have considered in the near future ... to get the 5160's.

    +1 on the 5160s. I'm in love with my 6112+5160 setup. Truly a great jack of all trades setup for me, as it does really well on road, and surprisingly well off. Plus no annoying tappet clicking...

    5100 can go to 1 inch or so. 5160 i think can go up to 1 1/2" but a lot of guys run them with no issues at 2". Best to go with 5160.
