275/70/18

Anyone running 275/70/18 on 6112 at 1.9 setting and 5160 in rear. Any pics be great thanks.

 

Hey Kyle....do a quick search but, only type in 1.9. All sorts of threads and pics about this topic. Cheers

 

How I do that

 

On the top right under alerts tap the search button. That will take you to the next screen. Type in 1.9 then hit search

 

I find that when searching through this forum you kinda need to be strategic with the words or numbers you type. Most of the time main words or just a number will get you what your looking for. It will also deplete your bank account

 

I run that size tire on stock suspension currently (not TRD Pro either) so if you are leveling the front at 1.9 I think you may want a bigger tire.

 

Will 275 look to small ?

 

I have that exact setup. These are the only pics I have at the moment.

 

So u have 275/70/18 at 1.9 setting 6112 up front. 5160 in rear. U have any driver or passenger shims or shackles in the rear ?

 

check out my previous posts. I have 275/70/18 and 1.9 6112s in the front and 5100s in the rear. One shim on the left side. Don't get 5160s-- they're the exact same shock as the 5100s but without the sleeve. The reservoir is only useful if you take your truck through whoops for an hour straight.

 

Yes, that is my setup. No shackles, no shims. I added airbags in back and that lift the rear about 1/2 inch.

 

I guess I should say you could look into bigger tires. Depends on what you are going for. The pictures posted of trucks looks good, you just have the option to go bigger. I don’t think it will look to small though.

 

Thanks for the advice guys.

Shocks can be too hot to touch after 5 minutes of whoops

 

Hi and sorry for getting in the mix, what are shims and where do you get them?

 

I'm sure either is fine for a street queen but this much I know to be true, the valving on the 5100 is different then the valving on the 5160's so that right there negates the argument that the only difference between them is the resi.

But how noticeable is the difference in ride quality between them as measured by the "Seat O-Da Pants" meter? I have no clue? Anecdotally, More then one person here has reported that they upgraded from 5100's to 5160's and perceived a noticeable improvement in ride quality but take that for what its worth.

 

i have shackles in the back

 

6112 at 1.9, 5100s and CB +1 shackles.
