This could be an expensive appointment

Up fromt I'm running 6112's set at 1.9, luckily at this setting my alignment is spot on and don't feel the need for UCA's. In the rear I'm running 5160s with 1" Coachbuilder shackles and a TRD rear swaybar. I do tow a tractor on a 20' flatbed trailer with a WDH and have only about 1.5" of sag when towing. Right now she's setting on 275x70r18s Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus. I feel The ride, stance are just right.

 

Your budget is the limit..

I’ll be honest, I skimmed through the post, but you can always run 5100s up front, add a one inch shackle lift in the rear and fit 285/75/18 on those stock wheels you currently run.

 

Oooh, very nice!

 

Yeah, the 5100's are certainly a more budget friendly option that I'm considering.

I had 5100's on my 1st gen, and while the ride was a little stiffer it certainly wasn't what I would call harsh.

Anybody had both 5100's and then 6112's that can give a direct comparison to ride quality?

 

I’ve had Toytec adjustable coilovers that were built with 5100s, and I’ve had 6112s set on the top notch. I didn’t think either of them was particularly comfortable on the road but that may be due to the fact that I had them on the top setting vs using the middle and a shim on the top. I’m sure getting into rougher terrain offroad the 6112s would show their advantages over the 5100s.

 

Yeah, my understanding is that the preload of the top settings makes them noticeably stiffer.

I dunno about PA, but our roads out here in CA are getting to be like driving through downtown Fallujah. Actually "offroad" terrain is probably smoother.

I want keep some rake for towing so I would only go 1.9" setting

 

Talk to @memario1214, the 6112 really aren't much more if you don't have a coil on hand for the 5100. I recommend hitting him up for a quote for both options and then you can decide

 

Oh yes, PA is also notoriously among the worst for maintaining the roads in the nation. Might I also suggest checking out the Eibach Pro 2.0 coilovers. They also offer rears with remote res if that’s your thing. I’m enjoying mine. I find the ride much more enjoyable than my prior setups, the ride height can be adjusted with a spanner while installed on the truck. They ride and handle nice on road, but also handle what I would call rough stuff (I may have low standards) pretty much drama free.

 

Thank you, that's good information!

 

I’ve got 1” (falcon coilovers) up front and 5100’s (no lift) in the rear. I think the crewmax looks better (at least less nose high) when there is still rake present. Where the DC you can get away with a “true level” without it looking nose high.
Just something to keep in mind.

 

That pic ^^^ is one of the first ones I saw after I got my '19 that made me go "Ooohh, that looks gooood!"

 

This is 5100 on middle setting with slightly larger tire. Sits 3/4” higher still in rear. Ride to me is just like stock.

 

What size are those tires? Thanks!

 

look like nitto recon 285/70

 

^^^yeeeeeeah buddy.

 

Your truck sits perfect. Was going to do 5100 with .50 shims and CB shackle. Get the 3-1 look. But I just got new tires and think it would be too high and I don’t want to upgrade them yet haha. Figure maybe I’ll skip the shims and CB and just get the 6112 and 5160 like you. Deff want to keep a small rake. Any issues with your TSS sensor? Any other pics?? Thanks!

 

great looking truck, tastefully done

 

I’ve heard upper control arms are needed with a 3” lift up front. Was told it won’t hold alignment. Truth to that?

 

not the answer you want but...it depends

 

I figured as much haha. My goal was 6112 up front on the 3rd setting (1.9” lift). Trying to avoid having to do control arms. Currently have Toyo AT3 285/65/18’s.

 

that should be fine. lots of people do top setting with CB shims as well and stock UCA

 

Had the Toyota Service manager tell me the same thing, he owns the 2019 (or was it 18) Tundra and had a 3/1 lift, swears that TRD takeoffs are crap and UCA is a must or alignment wouldn't be straight.

 

Ok. Thanks. I’m mulling over two options. 5100 all around with CB shims and CB shackle in the rear. Or the 6112/5160 combo. For a few hundred extra, might be worth it to do the 6112. Trying to stay around 2k total (with install)and not have to mess with diff drops and UCA’s. I don’t do much off-road so not sure if I need the 6112/5160s. Decisions decisions.

 

I would say talk to Colton @memario1214 I am sure more than enough people picked his brain about it as 5100 or 6112/5160 is possible the most entry used set, so he might have some ideas to share, but it will be your call.

 

I have 6112/5160s on my 2014.
Ended up with 2.5 of front lift.

Made the truck pretty level.




Added Toytech shackles on the 1" setting and it looks nice.









My truck came new with 285/55/20 tires, currently running 275/60/20.



Current setup

 

Looks awesome!
