    So with my maxtrac's and dakars on the way I'm wondering what notch I should set my 6112's at?

    I have a diy platform with drawer and a century topper. I would like to be as level as possible or rake. But no ass sag!

    Any opinions/experience would be helpful.

    Are you planning on leaving in the 3rd leaf? You may want to see what it looks like before you consider pre-loading.

    Probably a good idea.

    I had some slight positive rake with Maxtracs and Dakars alone

    Are there benefits of having the billies set at 0? @SpruceTaco

    less preload on coils, better ride. Not as much lift.

    With that said, how much lift do you get when the 5100's are at 0 and you have 885's?

    I am about to pull the trigger and like how @SpruceTaco looked with the 285's because that's the route I am going to go with some scs wheels
    I'm going with the dakars in the back though, so I guess if I do go with 885's I will need blocks as well?

    Why not use stock coils with the MaxTracs so you can get rid of the rear block altogether once you have the Dakars? This would put you at 4/2ish.

    You get 3" with 885's & billies at 0.

    Now when I had my 285's that setup was Maxtracs & billies set at 1.75 with stock coils for 5.75".

    After the 35's I added the Toytec 1/4" spacers to both sides to bring it up to 6.25"

    Then I maxed out the billies to 2.5 with the spacers for 3" & a total of 7"

    Then wanted a better ride & switched to the 885's for 3" & maintained 7". At the same time I added uca's.

    @ChadsPride @SpruceTaco basically need to know if i need to cancel the order for these tires. I hope not, do NOT have the money for a re-gear.
