    Measuring from the ground makes for confusing data due to differences in tire size. Always post measurements from center of hub to fender so others can use your data in their decision making process.

    Old man knees lol. It’s easier for me to measure that way in all seriousness. I have 285/75r16s toyo RT’s which are 32.8” tire. I usually state this fact but I forgot too.

    On my '17 dclb, I got 3.75" up front and 2.75" in rear. I am running 2nd gen 6112's on 5th notch with 1/4" spacer on driver side. In rear 5160's with elo95r leaf pack. I expect it to settle a little as well as it has only been a couple weeks with this setup

    Installed 2nd gen 6112s today on 5th notch with 1/4” spacer on drivers side. Initial lift is 3.75” as well. Hoping it settles at least an inch. Was only planning for ~2.5”. 5160s and 3 leaf AAL going on tomorrow. Will post pics and final measurements.

    Pretty sure that won’t settle.... Either take out the spacer or drop to the 4th notch or both.

    Driver and passenger side is identical height now with spacer and half tank of gas. Might have to go to 4th notch. Planning on 2 inches from 3 aal w/overload in. Had about 1” rake to start. Not trying to bro lean either.

    3rd gen 6112s with 700lb, both 4th notch with 1/4” drivers spacer (didn’t want to compress 700lb spring too much), steel CBI bumper (no winch yet), medium Dakar’s with 5160s, 265/70/17 nitto Ridge graps

    Will prob go 5th notch if I get a winch.

    So I went to get my alignment done yesterday and took new measurements. Both the front and the rear settled about and inch and sitting at 23” center hub to fender. That gives me the 2.5” in the front and 2” in the rear I was expecting!

    Side spacer (4th botch). Icon AAL pack (stock overload removed). JBA UCAs and ecgs for good measure. I’m happy with how it currently sits/rides. Tires are 265/70/17s

    To give y’all an update. 700lb set at 4th notch is a lot stiffer than OME 888 (although I lost an inch from putting bumper on with them, gained it back with 700lb). Rides fine on highway but bumps are a lot stiffer. I only have a steel bumper, no winch.

    It’s actually the metallic gray, just got a lot of reflection because it was a nice day.

    The tires are Pro comp Xtreme MT2 265/70/17. I bought it from dealership with the tires and wheels and I’m happy with both!
