    Skid plates (steel) will be the only thing I potentially add. I'm leaving the bumper alone. No winch.

    If you ever plan on putting a bumper on your truck get the eibach springs with it. If your only putting a skid plate the linear designed coils that come with the 6112s are fine.

    Awesome didn't know that would be an option with a potential armor upgrade once the lift was installed. What eibach springs specifically?

    Do it right, do it once! Better than getting kickass shocks in the front and leaving those POS hitachis on the back.

    The 2.0 series front coils don’t come with reservoirs - and for the lift I was looking for - I didn’t need reservoirs in the front. Went with it in the rear because the cost was negligible and may go with a cap eventually - so - figured it wouldn’t hurt.

    17” x 9” wheels with a -12 offset and 275/70 17 KO2’s for tires. Looks perfect to me.

    Took the damn off (because I don’t like how it looks) and required zero cutting anywhere.

    I went and look at Bilsteins recommended set-ups for the 6112's and i noticed this table:

    upload_2018-10-23_17-47-11.jpg

    I have a 2017 4x2 V6 Double Cab, 5' bed and I can't use the #6/#5 option. The most I can get is 1.75" of lift. This might be a problem. I know it's only 1/4" difference, but that might present an issue. Am I seeing this wrong?

    I'm not sure, I didn't research any of the 4x2 options. I'm not sure about it.

    Well, I am planning on getting skid plates so the air dam is definitely coming off.

    Understood. Thanks for saying so. I'll look into it and see if this becomes a viable option. There are other options I can explore. Not a show stopper, but unfortunate. I was really starting to like that setup. Maybe I can live with 1.75" of height. We'll see.

    It’s a problem because its being 4x2 it’s lighter compared to a 4x4, so it’ll lift the front about 2.25-2.5” is my guess. The 6112 is only rated for a 2” lift. You could probably do 6/5 setting but your ride will suffer (harsh) l because of the amount of preload added on 6/5.

    Given that situation with the bilsteins, I think I'll end up going with the Fox 2.0's. I have a friend in Holland that works at the Fox Europe facility and is always at the Fox facility in Florida and I'll see if he can hook me up. I already gave him the P/N's I need so I'll see if he can do it. Right now, a Fox 2.0 set all around is right around $1k. Hopefully, he can do better. :D

    Well if he/she can hook it up....might as well go 2.5 fox in the front, 2.0 back. Just saying....
