    hi members, here's another 6112 question directed at those of you who are familiar with bilstein 6112. I have a 2011 tacoma TRD 4x4 quad short bed and i'm getting ready to order them, for the rear i'll probably get the 5160s plus the LR UCA and a 1.5" aal, question is i want to go as high a setting on the coil overs as i can go without damaging CVs, should i go with setting 4 or 5? Going to order these pre-assembled, thanks!

    If you get UCA you can set them as high as you want

    I would set them on 4 however

    What size tires do you plan on running? I wouldn't max them out, I would maintain some rake otherwise you put anything in the bed and you will be nose high.

    No. I've done it with the same size tires and similar shocks.
