6112/5160 on today: Before and After

That makes complete sense. Thanks a lot for the insight. I was going to measure tonight but we got hit with some nasty thunder storms. I kept looking out to make sure my truck was okay.

 

Here you go bro. You are on the third setting.

 

Yours definitely look nose high. I’m not sure if it’s just the pic or what?

 

Thanks for the confirm. Nice truck man. Really nice.

 

Thanks Borgs. Likewise!

 

Right? And I even have a Diamondback cover on the back which adds probably 2 inches to the back profile.

 

looking good. wait for the front to settle, it will drop. then add some shackles rear to even out if needed

 

Yea, I see more daylight under the truck at the front vs back. No way that cover is sagging your bed. Something seems strange to me because I don’t have that lean and I have the exact setup. It doesn’t look bad at all I’m just curious.
Maybe park it somewhere else and fire off another pic?

 

This pic is right after it was done. Looks even worse. I will measure and let is settle a few days.

 

Question: I read somewhere, I assume on here, that it is recommended everything gets re-torqued after some miles. Did everyone do that? If so, after how many miles?

 

I think that actually looks better but maybe slightly nose high. How much does that diamond plate weigh?
I haven’t torqued anything but I’ll be watching to see what the norm is.
Either way your truck looks bad ass.

 

Thanks a lot. I love the look of yours as well. This 6112/5160 setup is killer, and economical. The Diamondback HD is only 115 lbs., so if that is causing some sag, I have problems.

 

I have 5100's on all four corners and the front is at 2" (middle + CB shim). My cover weighs ~100 lbs. and I am level. When I had my 5100's installed the shop was worried because it was so nose high. It did settle and I am now a touch lower in the front.

Your truck looks good and I think that you will be OK when it settles.

 

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Much appreciated. And, nice truck!

 

I have had my 6112/5160 on since - well, since I started this thread a few weeks ago. I have about 500 miles or so on of highway, town and some mild off road use. I really am in love with the setup. Drives like a dream. I was on the PA turnpike for 200 miles today and my wife even commented on how different it rides in a good way. And I think my bro lean has worked itself out. I am going to re-torque this week.

 

Re-torqued my 6112/5160 setup today after about 550 miles since install (mostly highway, some lighter off-roading). A few needed to be tightened! Consider this a PA Announcement. Several on here gave the warning - smart men - take heed!

 

Borgs...your truck is EXACTLY what I want my next truck to look like...although I am probably going to hold out, level mine now, and wait for the 2021 redesign. Couple questions...

1. What wheels do you have?
2. Which tires do you have and what size?
3. How do you like the TRD exhaust?
4. Do you have black overlays over your emblems, or is that Plastidip?

Thanks!

 

Thanks man, appreciate the compliment!

1. My stock TRD Off Road rims powder coated matte black.
2. BF Goodrich KO2 stock size.
3. Love the exhaust. Not obnoxious when slow and in town but roars with an awesome tone when you get on it.
4. I bought OEM TRD Pro black emblems.

I took this yesterday.

 

One more...your tires are 275/55/20? Are they P or LT? Thanks.

 

LT275/65R18

$333+ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 Tires

Borgs...can you describe the ride of your truck with the 6112/5160 setup/LT tires vs. the stock suspension? Is it a harsh ride? Thanks!

 

Very interested in this too. I have Load range E tires on stock suspension, and I would like a little more smooth/cushy ride. I hear the Pro Suspension rides great, but the 6112/5160 is so much cheaper.

 

. Not harsh at all. stock was very harsh and bouncy compared to the upgrade. Night and day over stock TRD Off Road suspension. Much, much better. A different truck, in a great way. Rides like a dream on highway, and handles much better off road. I only have 43 PSI in the KO2s. Anything more get much harsher of a ride.

 

Sounds good, Thanks for the info.

 

Can you identify what bolts specifically we should look our for!? Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

 

I can not recall unfortunately. It’s been quite awhile. Doesn’t hurt to hit them all.

 

10-4. thanks for the response. btw - great looking truck. Hope to get mine built up very similarly. only concern is with the Decked system in my bed and 200lb of weight, may need some additional support in the rear.

 

Thanks man. My Diamondback weighs about 150 lbs. I think, for what that is worth.

 

that is good to know. and your stock height in the back, right?
