    I'm about to pull the trigger on some 6112's but am unsure if I want the 2.5" or 1.9" setting. I plan on doing a 295/70/18 ET25 setup, with rear shackles for slight rake.

    I'm trying to see how many people went with the top setting then lowered it because of various reasons.

    Same here. Top setting about a year and a half. No complaints either.

    I have mine set there and they’re all right. To be honest I wish I would’ve saved a little more coin and gone with ADS or Icon

    How much off-roading are you doing? I'll be drive 98% on pavement so I feel like 6112's are almost overkill for me.

    I probably do about 100 miles a month on dirt, sometimes more. Suspension is something you notice everyday though.

    For the record, mine are on top setting and I have no regrets or desire to change them.

    I am at 1.9 up front with the 6112 and stock height in back with 5160 setup. I love it, the front settled down a bit and visually it looks like a slight rake although I think I am exactly level. But we will see once I load the back down with gear and pull a fishing boat in a couple weeks - I will probably be putting in a leaf pack!

    Try pulling out the front sway bar too. You’re not gonna miss it.

    No sweat man! I didn’t want to alter the height of the rear, was just looking to level. I wouldn’t mind a slight rake though.

    Mine should arrive on Friday. They will be on the top setting, although I'm also waiting on a Demello plate bumper and 12k winch for the front. That'll compress them some.

    I'm not sure if I want to put the 1.5" rear shackles or not.
