    I have a 2014 Tundra Platinum. Looking to spend no more than 3k on a lift including installation. Already have the tires I want on the truck.

    What do you guys think of this:
    6112 on top setting
    2 CB shims on drivers side
    1 CB shim on passenger side
    CB +3 shackles in rear
    5160 in rear
    SPC upper control arms

    Is this the best kit for under 3k installed? I do 95% on road with minimal towing. Mainly just want a ride that is comfortable and drives good on off road trails.

    I might just drop the control arms and shims so I end up with +2.5 in the front and +1.75 in the back. I don’t want anything that requires maintenance.

    275/65R20 Toyo RTs on stock platinum wheels. So basically 34x11 tires on +60 offset wheels.

    Well, I think your parts list is strong. You could keep the shims and drop the coil overs to 1.9 so you do not have to worry about the extra cost for the UCA. I don't have 6112s but folks say they ride pretty good.

    Another option in that price range is Old Man Emu, non adjustable, install it and forget it. Quality product, firmer ride but controlled. They are 3 different spring options, choose the "light" unless you have heavy bumper and winch. They usually net about 2.7 to 3 inches of lift.

    So the 1.9 setting with shims rides better than the 2.5 setting with no shims? Do you think 2.5 inches in the front would look weird with the +3 CB shackle in the rear?

    Just put on 6112s at 2.5 the stock UCA contacts the coil at full droop. At some advice on here, I ordered the Camburg ball joint UCA. I had ordered SPC from rock auto and got mismatched hardware.
