    I'm looking at moving to Bilsteins 6112 ( and contemplating shock height setting) and trying to figure out how much lift this current spacer kit is. With my cap/tent/decked system the Tundra is nose high by a good 1". I don't have anything in the rear, except Ride Rite's, which with air level it out. The coil spacer came with the truck, so no previous knowledge. I'm having trouble finding a good picture of a stock strut/coil to compare it to. My google Fu after a few beers sucks. It seems like a lot of extra top plates, but i'm not sure where to take my measurement as I don't know what is stock and what isn't in the pic. Any ideas?

    That looks like a rough county 3” spacer. The RC spacer lift goes from 2.5 to 3” go lift. With the 2 shins on top you are at the 3” height.

    6112’s at the 3rd setting is ~1.9” and (I think) the top setting is ~2.25”.

    I never could figure out what shims were. Thanks for answering my question!
    So is that two or three shims on the top? If i Measured from the very top plate to the bottom , would that be correct? Basically between the arrows?

    My guess is the rough country 2.5-3” leveling kit.

    The top of your bottom arrow is touching the OE top plate. Thats what the silver studs are pressed into.

    I would keep one of those shims for the driver side.

    I would set your new 6112 shocks on the highest setting and use at least 1 shim on the drivers side. You can use 2 on the drivers side and 1 on passenger if you’d like.

    I definitely need to take accurate measurements on all four corners and see what exactly I need. I’m definitely trying to get some small rake back into it and I’ll probably end up going with a smaller tire setup than I have now. Right now it’s on Methods 20x9 and tires are 305, which is Really wide. I’m not sure how
    Much narrower I can go on 9” rims but looking for more of a 33” look than 35’s. Hoping it’ll help handling and MPG a tad.

    Measure your hub to fender. I’ll measure my stock truck and let you know. It sounds like you want a PRO look with a little more tire than stock. The 1.9” setting will give you the PRO look. My Stock tires were 285/50r20 KO2 and they look good on leveled trucks. I would look at something 285 or 295 with a diameter between 33-34”
