    Plus I believe the diameter of the 6112 is too great to accommodate OME springs. They work well with 5100's, though.

    I think that's why I was confused then. The 5100s will fit, and the 6112's will not it seems. Thanks Toucan for the clarification.

    I see what you're saying. It's fine if you don't like them, I'm not trying to convince you to keep them, but the real reason you're hitting your bump stops is because the Toyota 3+1 leaf pack is a sorry excuse for a pack and has no real capacity. If I were you I'd throw a 3-Leaf AAL in the back before you change shocks. You'll be amazed at how much better it rides and it'll keep the rear off of the stops unless you're carrying weight.

    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.
