    They are on! Long wait over. Just wanted to get something going to share reviews and lift heights to help others in their choices.
    I myself didn't want a lot of lift so I stayed with the lowest setting which was 6/10ths of an inch. Actual numbers were right at that on the drivers, about 3/4" on the passengers side.
    Initial thoughts on ride.. NICE! Handling seems much improved. On road at least. I'll see how they do on the job site tmrw and edit this if anyone is curious.

    Good looking truck. I am also interested in these coilovers. The only difference is I am thinking of going to the next higher setting. Do you have stock uca?
    Thanks

    Yes stock UCA's. No prob with alignment at this setting obviously, I asked for caster 2.6 and it wasn't a problem.
    TSB springs with 5100's. There's about 400lbs in the bed in that pic.
    Yes suspension-wise at least:D

    Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm glad I stuck it out and waited for these. I don't think I'll be disappointed. This thing goes in the dirt every day at work, can't wait to see how it handles it

    Awesome. So I think I might have been spot on with mine when I had them set 1 notch up. Was worried it would be too high or low.

    Are you still stock height in the rear?

    I'm curious to see if the other clip settings are accurate also.

    Post up your results when you do your installs everyone.

    Nice!! 6/10ths is the first setting(notch)? So does it look like you have any lean on drivers side where a spacer may be needed?

    Yes 6/10ths is the first notch. Funny, I've measured a few times in the past and never had a noticeable lean. After the install it is about 1/4 inch though. Strange. Not obvious enough to bother me or do anything about it.

    That's awesome, I'm really looking forward to getting these on my truck. I'm thinking of going a little bit larger though and going to the 4th setting or so and doing a Dakar leaf pack in the rear. I'd love to see pictures with a lift like that.

    I hope you don't mind me asking, where did you get your 6112's from?
    Thanks again

    I think the factory springs are different per side to account for the lean, where these are the same. Probably why on Baja/Pro Bilstein used a higher notch for driver side with Eibach springs.

    Truck is looking good. I'd be happy with the first setting. I just want to hear how it drives off road and on road as a daily driver.

    That doesn't seem right. I only say that because I used my stock coils on my 5100s (both @ 1.75) and have a noticeable lean?
