    5160 is basically a 5100 with a Resi. It’ll do way better cooling the shock if you ran it through its paces and you’ll get a little more travel compared to stock or to the 5100s (not the extended 5100s). I switched out to the bilstein 8100 and that is A soft ride.

    6112 I have no complaint honestly. Obviously better system but you can’t beat the performance and price ratio.

    Good luck.

    ^^this. It'll make a difference. Not saying you won't still want some different shocks but 30/31 will make a big difference on your tires.

    So it says CS047R on the top spring.

    Which leaf spring should I remove for a 2" lift? Right now it sits, I'd guess 2.5 to 3" lift

    It's that an after-market spring pack? If so, which one?

    From my experience it will make quite a difference.
    My SR5 rode quite nicely at the recommended 29 psi, per the sticker in the driver's side door opening.
    I tried airing up to 33 psi and was surprised at how stiff and rough it rode.

    From the info posted so far, airing down some won't be near enough.
    But I think it will make a very noticeable difference.

    sortof stock. 6112/5160, pro wheels and a tune.
    OP- have you looked into Dobinsons? Those are linear valved shocks, with really soft coils. Main Line overland has the same stocks, but painted black too. Also, pretty inexpensive.
