    Bought my 2016 Tundra with a spacer lift already from 3rd owner and they’re not sure on the specifics. So I measured the same way in this thread https://www.tundras.com/threads/3rd...ight-measurement-request-hub-to-fender.19016/ and came out to 24.75. Was looking at the variance on stock height and I’m trying to decide if I should max out the 6112 or get the Westcott Designs collar.

    Also if I do get the collars what notches should I have it set at?

    edit: just remembered I measured with my fender flares on, how much does that skew measurements?

    You don’t want to stack lifts

    Sorry, should’ve specified the reason I went 6112/5160s was to get rid of the spacer lift currently on it.

    Ah. I don’t think adding anything to the top of a 6112 is a good idea. They already reduce your up travel from stock. Adding any plate above them will further reduce your up travel. You’re just killing your ride for a slight lift

    I’m not adding anything to the top of the 6112. I’m trying to decide if I should get the Westcott Designs collar or just the collar it comes with. Stock collar allows up to 2.5” of lift, whereas the WD collar will allow 3”. I’m trying to figure out what lift my truck has currently so I can make the 6112s match it.

    Oooooj my bad. I wouldn’t, you’re gaining a tiny lift for reduction in ride quality
