    My 5100's are leaking in the back. Front just got replaced with 6112 on highest notch and I'm very happy with the difference over the 5100s at highest notch.

    Whose got 5160's and whats your take?

    I had them on my Tacoma and they perform well running rough ranch roads at higher speeds then I should have been. Personally I would not waste the extra $s on my Tundra. They came as OEMs on my Tacoma. Bottom line is unless you often run a lot of rough roads or washboarded roads they are probably not worth it. Now if you have money burning a hole in your pocket and think they are cool go for it.

    Get them. A bunch of us have/are running them in the Tennessee group. Well worth it. Im upgrading to King 3.0 in front and rear but was running 6112/5160 combo and loved it

    Guys who were or are running them:

    I'm running the exact same thing, 6112 on highest setting, and 5160 rear. Very happy with them, especially compared to the stock ones that were on the truck

    I have 5160’s with a Deaver progressive spring pack in the rear . Its amazing on and off road and out performs my front suspension by far. I have 6112’s on the top notch with camburg uppers and they don’t keep up with the rear. Going to swap my front suspension with either a different coilover or go long travel.

    I've only had them on for ~400 miles as I haven't been driving much in the last two months, but I think they're pretty good. The rear definitely stay's planted better. Soaks washboard up much better. I was surprised that I got around an inch of lift from them, though.

    What shocks were on your truck prior to the 5160?
