    Bil 6112/5160's etc.
    OME springs are notched. 6112 springs are flat. The lower spring perch won't work with the OME's.

    6112 come with a 600lb spring assembled. You need 650/700 spring? Eibach and bilstein are the only coils that fit currently.

    That's what I have. It's a bit too high but I don't have my bumper, winch, skids and sliders yet.

    Tried getting a quote from the local shop here close to me and they said I'd need new UCAs. After reading this thread and coming to the conclusion that I wanted to upgrade my stock suspension to the 6112/5100 I was under the impression it was recommended but not necessary. I am only looking for 2' of lift in the front.

    You don’t need them unless you’re lifting over 2 inches. The shop is probably just trying to squeeze a little more money out of you.

    That was my understanding. Guess I'll be putting these on myself!

    It's taken me a while to decide what I wanted (first time lifting a truck) so I'm sure they're sick of me asking questions. I've made up my mind and then they throw this at me.

    Helped install 6112's, UCA's today. You don't need UCA's. But, I am really impressed at how much of an improvement they make.

    The only thing working against you if you do it later is that you will have to take things apart again to reinstall vs having everything all taken apart already and you will have to get the truck realigned again.

    Can anyone please list the approx. lift from each notch on 6112's? I have looked everywhere.

    I would have guessed assuming the normal spring and no extra weight should be listed somewhere, but I'm not having any luck.

    Nah. The UCA is really easy and doesn't require touching anything else. Remove/cut the upper bolt. Disconnect at knuckle and it's off. Yes an alignment will need to be done again.
