    Personally have experience with the Bilstein 5100's on top setting. It measured level but didn't look 100% right so I put a 1 inch block in the rear. Now it looks like I need to go up a tire size when I'm due and I plan to go to a 34.6 inch tire.

    If I had to do it again I would go middle setting in front. softer ride than the top setting. although, The harshness went away after about 1000 miles. also my drivers side sits 1/4 inch lower in the front, can only tell by measuring but if you add a shim during install it would be better: https://www.suspensionlifts.com/sho...bilstein-5100-height-adjustable-front-shocks/

    I do recommend going with the 5100's in the rear as well with this setup.

    The 6112's would probably ride a little better but cost more than doubles and seems like they are backordered: https://www.suspensionlifts.com/sho...nt-5160-0-1-lift-kit-2007-2016-toyota-tundra/

    X2 on Billstein 5100’s. Only had mine in for a few weeks so still early but I think it rides great. I really don’t notice any difference really over stock as far as harshness goes. Maybe slightly firmer but that’s all. I’d bought a shim to install in driver’s side but I took a while for shipping and didn’t get it in time. Just got my
    Wheels and tires mounted and balanced today. 285/75-18’s on Method 705 wheels
