6112 Setting and Tire/Wheel Combo Thread.

How do you like the icon pack?

 

i'm digging that tire ...and size .....what finagling did you have to do for them to fit ? After market uca's ?

 

How much space is between your bumpstops and lower control arms? I have about 1.5 inches of allowed travel after putting on the bumpstop extensions. I am wondering if I am taking away or limiting travel of my 6112's on top setting. I don't know how to tell how much uptravel is enough or too little. Anyone have thoughts or advice?

 

.
No aftermarket UCA needed. You would have to remove both mud flaps in the front to not rub. But since I wanted to keep my mud flap, I had to trim and cut out the part that stuck out the furthest to the tire. In the end, I still had two screws to hold the mud flap in place. Will post more photos soon. Thx.

 

Suspension and tires completed:
Bilstein 6112 @ 1.9" w/ 0.5" CB Shim (driver side)
Bilstein 5160 Rear w/ CB Shackle +2 (1.25" lift)
Toyo Open Country ATIII LT295/70/18



Decided to throw in the TRD skid plate. Like how the red accents blends together.



Had to trim the back part of the mud flap (furthest part of the it) and redrill a third screw. (Driver side)

Passenger side

Something different.

 

Looking for advice. Here a list of parts I have waiting to install. The only component I need help on is the tires.

6112 at 1.9 with 2 CB driver shims, 1 pass
5160 2+ CB shackles
CB front bumper shims
18x9 +12 FN BFD wheels

Just would love to figure out what tire and size I should go with. A true 35, a 295/70, or a 285? I do know I will be running an AT style tire, maybe a hybrid of some sort, but definitely not a MT

 

Your setup is gonna be awesome. I think your truck will be leveled out. My rear is about 2" higher than the front but that was the look I was going for.
Besides choosing what size tires: I would narrow it down between the 295/70 and a 35". The 285 might not cover your wheel well as much as a 295, but if staying stock the 285 looks good. Going up to a 35" you might be able to get away from removing the mud flap since you're doing the front bumper shims and front lift, but heavier tire means lower MPG.
Honest truth, going up to a 295/70 it did feel heavier. I can't imagine what a 35" would feel like.
Hope this helps. Good luck on the build. Post your truck up we like to see it! Thanks.

 

when you say , "staying stock " do you mean wheels ? ....i'm trying to decide tire sizes myself

 

No, I mean stock suspension. No lift or change to suspension.

 

You ended with 2 inch rake with your set up? I ordered 6112 after the ray 10s rubbed on 275 70. Back and forth on the plus 3 and plus 2 coach CB. I went with 1.9 setting and stock measurements are right around 2 inch rake

 

Yes. It will still rub lightly with the 275/70. Going up to a 295/70 definitely had to trim part of the mud flap. I went with CB shackles +2 (1.25 inches).

Truck looks good.

 

I barley rub now with the set up I have truck is currently stock. I just dont want to look too much like a stink bug with the +3 shackles and only going 1.9 with no shims

 

I love my 285/75/18's. i am glad I went with them over a 35/12.5/18

 

Curious about this too since I also heard 2"+ shackles might cause clearance issues with the TRD exhaust.

 

Oh for sure. If you go with the CB +3 shackles, rear is going to sit higher if no shims up front. Stick with the CB +2. I think going with CB +3 I would have to set the lift at 2.5"

 

It should not interfere with the TRD Dual Exhaust according to Coachbuilder. That's why on ToyTec website, they say minor modification might be needed if installing the dual exhaust. That is why I choose to go with CB. Will know when I install the exhaust if there is any problem.

 

what brand tire you go with ?

 

Falken Wildpeak at3w

 

do you have a picture of your truck ?

 

dude ...your truck looks awesome ....reason i asked is ....just traded my 17' Tacoma in for a 17' DC Tundra ..but need to get new tires . I have the Bilstein 6112/5160 here ready to go just trying to decide on tires

 

Thanks man, I’m happy with it

 

Perfect setup.

 

6112's at top setting
5100's rear
Icon Mini-Pack leaf springs +1.5"
OEM TRD wheels with +60 offset
Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 295/70 R18 tires
Trim back corners of skid plate

 

6112's at top setting with 2 shims driver, 1 passenger. 1.5 rear shackle with 5160's. Method Grid 18's, 0 offset with 305/70r18 KO2's. I was just testing these so I don't have the hub covers on here.

 

This SX trim would have been my first choice if they offered them earlier last year. Too bad only available in white, red, and black. Love the color keyed grill and bumper, de-badged all around. Just a nice plain looking truck.

 

Very interested in your results as you are going bigger than what I looking at (295/70r18 or 285/75r17) but with the same suspension. How is the ride with the leaf pack? How far are your tire outside the wheel wells? Does it rub at all or bottom out on the fender?

Looks gorgeous though.

5100s back

i need some feed back ...i am not in a huge rush . I have 6112 and 5160 sitting here in my living room . I am keeping the stock wheels . I am looking for more height .Would the experts go with a 285/75/18 or a 305/70/18 tire .......i am looking for the most minimal rub of course

 

Mine is the SR5 TRD Sport 2018. I de-Badged and removed all logos in the first week. De-chromed recently, suspension changes and TRD exhaust.
