    3" Bilstein lift(887 coils with Bilstein adjustable 5100s set at 2.5"), AAL in rear with Bilstein 5100s
    I currently am set up with Bilstein 5100s in the front with 887 coils at the highest setting which gave me about 3.5"-4" of lift and love the height I'm at but the ride is awful. I want to get 6112s to replace these and plan to get them on the highest notch (#5) and have the toytec top plate spacer as well. I've been researching around the forums and everyone is getting different heights so my question is for you guys with the 6112s: how much lift did you get and please post a photo if you can. I have Total Chaos UCAs and a 1" diff drop so my CVs are fine and can support a larger lift.

    I had a 3" revtek spacer it measured 24" center of hub to fender. Just installed 6112 on the 4th notch and it's still 24. 06 pre runner

    887s at 2.5 setting?

    Jesus dude, you won't fix that by buying something else and preloading it to death again.

    Buy the right parts for the lift you want, don't try and make lemonade from apples and then wonder why it doesn't taste good.

    I smell a troll. Or just an ill informed OP in desperate need of a TW intervention! :)
    I thought he said it has spacers too, but I realized he was talking about the driverside anti taco lean spacer

    To achieve more than 3" with a coilover system is hard without going long travel. For 4wd, you may be looking at something like a DB lift. Anyways I'll buy your 887s when you're done with your research.

    Wouldn't.

    Those 887s are abused.

    I measured my height and I got 24.75" in the front so I think with the 6112s at the 5th notch with the Toytec top plate I should sustain that height hopefully. Thank you for that measurement number, Imphedup.
