    My kit should arrive this week, so I won't be any help right now! I will post about it once it's installed though!

    Just had mine installed 6112’s set at the 4 and 5 setting and 5160’s in rear no AAL or block. I was looking to level, sits on 265 70 17 Falken’s and SCS Ray 10’s. Hasn’t settled yet but got 2 inches of lift as of now.

    After I installed mine, I hit some 7" high curbs straight on (like what is in front of your tires in the pic) multiple times at 10 mph. That seemed to expedite the settling. You could use speed bumps at high speed also.

    Your truck looks perfect. Did you have to go with UCAs? Any issues at the 4-5 setting?

    I just ordered 6112s at 3-4 setting and 5100 for the rear, no blocks or AAL. I just want to level it out. Did you get any lift from the 5160 in the rear? I'm in the fence about changing my order to exactly what you have. Thoughts? Thanks!

    No UCA’s, no lift from the 5160’s either. Still wondering if it will settle more. Thanks

    Fantastic! Love your truck. Any experience with 5100s in the back and no AAL or blocks? Are 5100 to be used only with some sort of lift in the back?

    Thanks for your reply

    I am running the 5160’s with no rear lift and it’s fine for my needs, down the road I might get a new leaf pack.

    Interested to read you got 2" at 4/5 circlip settings ... install instructions suggest 1.5 for DC, wonder if the 6112s are giving more than anticipated lift. Curious as I have some on the way for my ORAC and want to target 1.1" front. Which coil spring did you install (600,650,700)

    Came with 600 lb coil, I was originally wanting 1.5 inches upfront and was told by friends it would settle but it’s been over 1000 miles and I’ve taken it off-road a few times and it’s still sitting at 2 inches. I’m happy with the looks and it sitting at 2 inches thinking of adding the Icon RXT in rear soon.
