    Hi All - First, I feel fortunate to have finally receive (since October order) the Billy 6112/5160. Hopefully having them installed later this week. I'm going with 275/70r18 as it's a pavement daily driver and I do not haul/pull trailers. With that said, should I go with 6112 @ 1.3 or 1.9? Currently I don't have plans to install a rear shackle, but could be talked into it as I don't want the front end up... and prefer a slight rake. Also, installing Method NV 305. Let me know your thoughts and post pic if you have a comparable setup.

    I felt like spending the money then setting to 1.3” was somewhat of a waste so I went with the 1.9” setting. Added a shim to the driver’s side to address lean. I did go with a CB+2 shackle to avoid being nose high when loaded.

    if you don’t tow or haul, I’d do 1.9” and you can leave the rear height stock.

    Tundras only sit with about a 2inch rake stock, so you’re gonna look pretty level at 1.9
