    I just ordered some Bilstein 6112’s from shock surplus and they are coming built already and I’m going with the 2” lift option which is settings 8 and 6 on their website. I’m wondering if anyone is running these settings and if you have any lean? I’m thinking it should be 8 and 7? They haven’t shipped my order yet so I could email them and have it changed if need be. Any input is appreciated

    Your truck will naturally favor one side over the other. You can't escape that, unless you buy coilovers, but you'll still favor one side in the rear and/or as your gas tank drains and fills.

    As for settings, @scooterprint @BluegrapeVr6 @jerryallday @Pronto13 may be able to answer, it looks like all of them may've chosen them up front.

    I'm running 8 driver and 6 passenger. I have 700lb springs to account for the extra weight of my front bumper/winch, and not to mention I'm a pretty hefty guy myself (~340lbs), so I still get a small amount of lean, but it's not really that noticeable.

    Front Bilstein 6112 shocks & Bilstein springs. Rear Bilstein 5160 remote Reservoir shocks, Wheeler’s Off-road add-a-leafs. LED lighting. Pioneer Avic 7200NEX Nav Head unit. Borla cat back exhaust.
    I've found Bilstein's recommendations to be correct. My truck has no lean. Just pay attention when installing the shocks.

    That is how mine are set. I can't see any lean.
