    Thanks Blue,

    My mind is a little slower now a days, I have been looking into different make systems but seem to keep think about these, I like the 3rd setting and you say I shouldn't need anything rear!

    What size tires and rims did you go with, just wondering the biggest tire on a 18" rims would be!

    No problem. I have stock wheels and tires for now. If you go with no lift on the rear, the 3rd setting (1.9") will level it out perfectly and give it the same stance as a TRD Pro.

    I've got my 6112s set at the top and got right at 2.5. I've got 285/70/18 on stock rims and had to stretch the front fender liners a bit. At two 1.9 I wouldn't go over a 275/70/18 on stock wheels. The bigger tires feel a little heavy as well. Although I had p rated stock size before. The new ones are E's.

    The ride is good, probably pushing the limits of the ucas. Gonna finally get it to lotsoftoys for a real alignment. The guys at firestone weren't able to get it as good as should be possible with 2.5. I've got Toytec shackles set at 1" ride rite bags, trd sway bar and 5160s in the back. It corners nice! Still get the bounce on concrete but not nearly as bad. The sway bar and bags don't do anything about that. Well, the bags maybe a little. I got cb shims for the front to get a full 3", but I think I'm going to wait till I can get the ucas to put them in. Seems like 3" in the front is the sweet spot for our trucks, but you really do need the ucas to get a proper alignment and a good driving truck that doesn't eat tires. Ucas $500 and up, tires $200 and up each! And with 3" in the front you can adjust the back up to where you like the stance.

    The exos are about the only one in that size, they're nice. Only other is bfg m/t for like$400 each.

    295s on stock wheels will probably need spacers, mine are pretty close to the ucas. Had to trim the skid plate to. And it looks like if I get the ucas I will need spacers already. But if you push the wheels out to far you have other clearance issues. That's why I got the 285/70s. Plenty big enough without all the mods like chopping the cab mount. My thought is less permanent chopping less problems and higher resale value.

    I could put my truck back to bone stock in a day, sell it for just as much or more and probably quicker. Then sell everything else separately!

    Thanks man, I'm pretty happy with it. The bilsteins are sweet, even set at the top they nice and smooth riding. The springs are designed for it. Not at all like sticking 5100s at the top with stock springs!

    No, the 6112 comes with eibach springs specifically designed for the shocks. Buy the top hat mounting plates as well then you have a complete stock set of coilovers to sell or keep as backup or put the truck back to stock in the future.

    The springs might actually be a little soft at the lower settings, I forget what rate they are. Like 600 or so. Probably need heavier if you plan on getting a heavy winch and bumper.

    3” Ready lift spacer, 295-70-18, Method 315, Camberg Upper controll arm.
    Hello,

    Anyone running the 6112 at top setting and nothing in the rear? Will the 2.5” That the 6112 offer get me level or nose high?? I have a 3” spacer and want to switch to the 6112. Thank you
