    8112 front 8100 rear. Method NV with 265/75/16 KO2.
    I recently did 8112 and 8100. Not even mad at the price. Drove off a curb and barely felt a thing today, I've hit V bumps at 35mph with little cab roll. Those things suck up the impact with no problem.

    I got 2" (ish) on the 3/4 notch after settling. I may go up a notch now, but i like the ride quality now and am not sure i want to sacrifice it. Easily rock a curb or hit some beach ruts without really noticing.

    Curious how you ended up getting 2" on that setting. That's double what their chart shows for the 3/4 notch.

    I agree with you... I hit speed bumps at 30mph and don't even notice them. The ride is smooth at low speeds, firm without being stiff, and at higher speeds simply amazing...

    What's everyone thoughts on going with the same setting on both sides, such as a 5/5 clip setting, and then adding a 1/4" spacer on one side for the Taco lean?

    The truck rides Super Kush on the 6/5 setting and came out exactly the same measurements side to side. I think Bilstein engineering put a lot of thought into this design it wouldn't make any sense to need to alter it? Just stagger as the instructions say. Perhaps if you needed to add more lift than the 2" then you would need to add a top spacer to achieve the extra lift height.

    Yeah apologies there - got a bit over an inch from the suspension and then went up 1.6" in tire (.8 in additional height from the ground) so around 2" in total additional chassis clearance.
