    Okay, I measured from the ground to the fender. This is pre lift

    Passenger front 35 3/16"
    Driver side front 34 7/16"

    Driver side rear 37 3/8"
    Passenger rear 37 1/16"

    Thanks! I was mostly interested in seeing your rake numbers. Looks like you have 1-7/8" rake on the passenger side and 2-3/4" on the driver side. And the taco lean is well present at 3/4".

    My numbers are (measured from the center of the wheel hub):
    Passenger front: 20 1/4"
    Driver front: 19 1/2"
    Driver rear: 22"
    Passenger rear: 22 1/4"

    My rake numbers are a little smaller with 2" on passenger side and 1-1/2" on driver side. The lean on mine is 3/4" like yours.

    I am going with the same kit as you 6112/5160, but I am going for over a 2" lift all around so I am having the 6112 struts ordered at notch 4 setting, and I am putting in the spacer to offset some of the lean. In order to keep the rake (I like the look of the rake), I am going with the 3 pack AAL and retaining the overload leaf. I think w/o the overload leaf kept on, my rake disappears and it would be level.

    How about you? Are you lifting the rear?

    Yes, I asked them to set the front to approximately 2". They offered a block for the rear but when I asked for an AAL they said no prob. I'm not sure what kind of rake I'm going to end up with. Tomorrow morning I'll take some measurements from hub to fender so I can compare them post lift.

    ^^^ Cool. I'd be interested in seeing how your lift comes out. I am getting the Headstrong 3-Leaf AAL and leaving the overload leaf on to mostly match the lift I get in the front. My kit has been ordered..

    I got to see my truck with a bitchen set of 8112s on the front today! I don't get to keep them but it was very cool to check them out. After they do some testing they are going to give it back with the 6112/5160s on there. I can't wait. They even hooked me up with a Frontier as a loaner. These guys have been great

    So just to clarify. You guys have been running them on the 4th notch to get the most height? And it still rides decent?

    The most height would be attained from the 5th notch.

    Mines are on order. I am going to 4th notch because I was wanting just over 2" of lift. 3rd notch and lower is less than 2", I believe.

    How are you guys assembling the shock? Taking it to a shop ?
    Also, the spacer for Taco lean, are does it got between the coil and top hat or on top of top hat ? Pic might help... Thanks

    After the coil and shock is assembled, the Spacer goes on top of the assembly, then placed up into the mount.
