That includes install right

 

Weird. Im positive i had one. Unless im color blind. Lol. I snagged it from @SCRunner12 way back in the day. Worked fine. But i could be wrong on the axle

 

You 100% positive that they didn't actually do that for you and you just have the coilovers on the wrong side? Cause with that much of a difference that's my guess.

Same goes for the leader springs. Often are side dependent depending on the make.

So maybe swap the coilovers first or at least take a close look at them when you take them back off to check.

 

Technically this was yesterday, you'll have to forgive me, but I put my truck up on OME 881s and progressive AALs

 

There was a tag attached to the drivers side to make sure they went in the right order

 

Well check them either way. They could have labeled them wrong. Should be able to tell what the lower collar is set to. Those 6112s have a lot more positions and could have been easy to miss take what side was what.

 

The driver side is set one ring higher than the passenger side.

Here's a thought and please correct me if I am wrong but would it be better for the range of travel to put some small spacers on top instead and leave the spring perch in the middle? I imagine for every spring perch higher it goes the less down travel it will have

 

On a side note I installed some ANZO taillights and discovered that the drivers side and passenger side were wired differently. they plugged in just fine but the bulbs are all sorts of scrambled






I did some deep breathing and emailed customer support after reinstalling the OEM lights. We shall see what happens.

 

Glamping in a friends front yard Camano Washington

 

Cleaned up my nest of plastic Vacuum tee fitting for boost gauge, fpr, and Methanol inj, with a nice little manifold I spent way too much time and effort making

 

Don't put a spacer on the top if your gonna try and use all of your trave you can top out the shock and it will bend and break. I think the 6110's were made to be ran at the higher settings. I run them on my tundra there super nice !!

 

I don't really like Spacers anyway. I'll probably slide a 1/2 on the drivers side anyway to correct the taco lean and adjust the 6112's to where they should be.

I got the old 5100's back in the drivers side and gained an inch of height back.

 

Hm something just still seems off. Are there part numbers on the coils? Maybe they got mixed up?

And I wouldn't use a spacers it'll lower the overall geometry of the shock and it won't match the geometry of the control arms. It's better to use the shock.

I'd honestly consider lowering the passenger side first not raising the truck higher.

 

Part numbers on the shock body and springs are the same for both sets

 

Swap them and see if it's the same.

It's not hard to take them apart. Can rent a coil compressor kit from a parts store.

 

I'll swap them when I adjust the spring perch height for shits and giggles. I've got to bleed my brakes before I go driving around too much. Lots of air in the line from adding the extended rear brake line

 

Well either swap them as is. Or make adjustments. Don't do both. You want to only change one thing to know what solved it rather than two and not know.

 

I tucked my axle breather behind the gas flap today. That went smoothly. I don't think it'll be sucking water any time soon

 

Adding storage.
