    So what about the 5160's with the Wheelers leaf pack? Compatible like the looks of them paired up with the 6112's

    I've got the Baja version with the progressive AAL and really like them. The ride is firmer but not harsh. Personally I like to run paired shocks like that front and rear rather than mix matching brands.

    Edit: the Baja link in my sig has some photos comparing length. I think they are 1 3/8" longer extended, which matches well with a 1.5" lift from the progressive AAL with overload removed.

    Interesting, you nearly have the same exact set up that I went with. The only real difference is I went with the rear Icon 2.0 with remote resi. Did you also add a differential drop in the front?

    Okay, you need to educate me, why would you never do a front diff drop on a 2nd Gen? I get there are some strong opinions on the forum saying they don't really work, i.e. not needed. But if I wanted to play it safe there is no down side to them, or is there?

    What setting up front (6112) did you wind up going with? I went with the 3rd setting.

    Can't really answer that as to only see people have damaged them wheeling. There was pics somewhere about it.

    There was one(1) guy who modified his skid plate on his race truck in an odd way that made the mounting point protrude from it and he landed on a rock during a race which broke his differential. This is the ONLY incident I've ever heard and for some reason this entire website shunned them forever lol.
