    CD's are killing me. Got one of my 1099-INT's today. Is this what we are talking about. I know we can't be talking about compact discs. Isn't that like an 80's thing.

    6112s arrived today preassembled. I'm upgrading from 885 coils with 5100 fronts to these. I went back and forth for a while between Fox 2.5s and Kings, and I actually had a full set of Kings in my Accutune shopping cart ready to pull the trigger. I slept on it for a couple weeks and allowed my logical part of my brain to take over. In reality, Kings and Fox's are way overboard for what I need, not to mention much more expensive. I do 90% daily driving in my truck and needed something that handled tight on the highways as well as capable for offroad use. I saw that these 6112s went on sale after Christmas for $750 preassembled and that was the deciding factor for me. I'm looking forward to getting these on soon, and I'll use the $3k I saved on new tires and possibly a regear. Maybe I'll jump up to Kings or something else down the road when this truck becomes a toy and not a DD, but in the meantime this Bilstein setup is solid enough for my needs.

    I know the Fox 2.5s are in a different league than the 6112s. Believe me when I say I've spent hours reviewing the different setups. For now, I'm going to stick with the 6112s and then maybe down the road when I upgrade again, I'll hang onto these for the swap during rebuilds. I have to strike a balance between what I want and what I actually need.

    It’s basically a hub bore adapter for my wheels. The wheel bore is slightly larger so it came with that adapter

    I installed the Roadactive Suspension today, to see if it'd help with the annoying wobbly feeling when I have my camper on. Long story short, worth every penny. Feels better with the suspension and camper, than it did stock and w/o the camper. I can't even tell it's on back there anymore when cornering or going over speed humps.

    Measured at the wheel arch at the center of the hub, it was 36 5/8" stock, 36 3/8" with the camper on, and 37" with the RAS + camper. So, a little lift, but not much. I doubt I'll ever take them out back off.
