    Hey guys.

    Been cruising all the threads on here extremely helpful. Looking to add a little height to my 19 double cab TRD OR

    I have decided i want 6112s up front, what I need to know is can I squeeze 1.5" out of the rear without new shocks?

    Considering air bags as i tow a 7000lb trailer fairly regularly. However I would prefer the function of shackles and if 100% neccessary a new shock. Not looking for adjustability.

    The 5100s will give you back 1" of the available extension travel. You are that 1.5" more likely to over travel the stock shocks if you drop a wheel off in a hole.

    Yes, you'll be fine. I'm running 3/2 lift with stock shocks in the rear. I'd go with schackles vs the blocks especially for towing
