    I am installing my 6112s at the top setting and am wondering if front differential drop spacers or sway bar spacers are a good idea for long term reasons?

    I have read and reread the dedicated 6112 threads and seen the various set ups and pictures. I have the two shims for driver side and one for passenger side if necessary for tundra lean but other than that I have never seen any mention of a differential or sway bar spacer kit being necessary. I also have Total Chaos UCAs going on as well.

    I got this setup based on information from this thread. So before I finish it up, I wanted to get opinions on the differential and sway bar kits.

    Thank you.

    I have 6112 on the 1.9" setting with one shim on driver side.

    If I were going any higher, I would invest in the drop kits. I justified this by reasoning that the Pro is 2" higher with the same parts.

    I have the same setup, 6112´s at top settings and I´ve never heard of sway bar spacers, anyway you don’t need them, but I did install the diff drop kit, it helps keep the cv joints at proper angle.

    I will order the drop kit and spend the extra money.

    Thank you all for the sanity check. My truck is up on the lift and disassembled. So I will hope Amazon Prime comes through. Haha.
