    Idk, but from what I'm hearing, is even with the max setting, the ride is a lot better than the 5100 max setting

    The 6112 is 2.65 inches i believe. with all things other than size the same they would not heat up as fast and offer consistent performance for a longer period of time. Then you have the valving and spring etc...

    They are THE choice if you want a lift and dont need, or cant afford a reservoir or compression adjustable coilover.

    Doesn't look like its on 3rd notch, looks higher to me. I thought the seat would be resting on groove/clip...or is that the sticker line I am seeing?

    Yea I did the notch before the highest I love the ride, rides better than the 5100s I had in my 05, not sure what I'm going to do with rear yet but I am happy I went with the 6112s

    I believe that! I wouldn't mind some at all.
    If I'm correct and they're 60mm, they are 2.362" diameter. (mm/25.4=In) So the only question now is how they are valved and what the specs are on that spring.

    I'm confused now. I thought shocks only had one measurment. How do the 6112s compare to other similar shocks in strictly measurements? So they're larger than the 2.5 shocks but what is the piston diameter of others?

    Unsure what size Fox or Icon use for Pistons inside their 2.5 series shocks. But their website probably has that info.

    As to how they compare I'd say somewhere between a 5100 and an Icon stage 1 kit. Probably pretty close comparison to the stage 1 honestly.

    Edit: oh I misunderstood the last pet. These are slightly larger body than a Fox or Icon 2.5 shock.
