    Oh he thiccc…

    to summarize then,

    my US Offroad slim steel bumper and inboard warn-8s winch on a stock 4.0 AC 4x4, using 3x13 650lb springs at 75% preload (clip 4 of 5) got me 1.75” of lift on the driver side.

    and your

    full steel bumper, steel engine skid, steel sliders, dual (three???) battery, fridge??, topper, 4.0 AC 4x4, using 3x14 700lb springs at 75% preload got you ~2.75 - 3.00" @TacoEspecial

    If that’s true then I think that gives a good representation of what spring to pick based on ones setup and expectations. And let’s not forget 2-2.5” is the max lift this shock should do…

    I haven't measured yet.
    I also have a 1/4" spacer on each side.

    Here to report.

    Installed 650lbs springs from icon which are shorter than normal at 13”

    I netted 1/2 lift with the pre-load perches maxed out.

    Center hub to fender was 21.5”

    Therefor not worth. Get 14” springs.

    These are 255/85r16 and 33.2" tall off the truck so 2.6" taller than stock.
    Sorry, to busy to move to level ground and measure.
    Family's coming over and I'm cooking :thumbsup:
    Think I got close to 2.5 to 2.75, my target.

    Just looking to confirm those are the 600# springs. Just stripping it down to do the ecgs bushing fix, figured I worked double check.

    Swapped the 14” 600lbs springs back in. I’ll order 650lbs later.

    Just had the opportunity to try out the 13” Icons for free so figured why not.

    I have more up travel than with my 5100s.
    Didn't rub on the top of my fender with the 5100s.
    I'm now running a 1/4" top plate spacer on each side with my 6112s and I'm still rubbing on the top of my fender.

    Oh yeah, I added a Camburg UCA.
    Think that's giving the extra up travel.
    I'm getting it realigned today.

    Took some measurements.
    FD 23 1/8" (20 " stock)
    FP 23" (20 1/4")
    RD 24 7/8" (22 1/8")
    RP 25" (22 3/4")

    2 3/4" to 3 1/8" in the front and 2 1/4" to 2 3/4" in the rear.
    Looks pretty balanced from driver to passenger side.
    Edit: It now looks pretty balanced from driver to passenger side.

    I'm digging it, should settle in the front to something like 2 1/4" to 2 3/4".

    I'm getting it aligned right now.
    Heading out on a trip Friday to break it in.
    So far the rides great.
    I did do a lot in the rear including a cross brace between the shackle hangers.

    The springs that came off my 6112s are 14" not 13".
    Here's a pic with their part#.

    Interesting I’ll have to measure mine too I guess. Mine have the same P/N. The only thing I did was stand them up beside my TRD BAJA springs and noted they were the same height, then installed the BAJA’s

    Put a few hundred miles on them, 40+ off road.
    Don't think I'll change a thing.
    Rides and handles great.
