    It has settled down a little. and yes to get the current lift i need it at 4th notch. I might get 3/4 spacers one day to raise it up a little

    Nice! I have my measurements and mine have settled in for sure. I'll post numbers tomorrow.

    Toryt, what were you running up front before the 6112's? I have OME/886 up front and OME/All pro standard in the rear, so kind of similar to your truck. How are the 6112's on slow rocky trails, the kind you do 5mph on. I've never been impressed by the OME/886's on that kind of trail, but we have a lot of it here in CO. Wondering if 6112's are better. Thanks

    I had the stock shocks with a 2 in spacer on top. The 6112 ride better than the stocks for sure, spend alot of time in Moab and in southern utah on a lot of rock trails they are good but its hard for me to judge them because at the same time I changed tires and went from a P load range to and E. so the benefits of the shocks may have been more than I noticed

    I have a BNIB set of OME 886X coils with 660 lb spring rate 402 mm in length. Will these coils work with the 6112's?

    My current setup is 5100's and 884X's up front, Dakars + B110's in the rear.

    BruteForce Plate bumpers are due in a few weeks and I know I need heavier springs. The springs that come with the 6112' are 610#'s. Likely won't work well with the total weight of Bumper, Winch and Aux battery in the engine bay.

    LR UCA's will be installed in the front as well.

    I welcome your input. Thanks.

    From everything I have read, those springs will NOT work with the 6112's. Order the 650# or 700# Eibach springs from Wheelers.....

    The springs that comes with the 6112 are 600lb springs. and no those are too long for the struts. Springs can't be longer than 14" and need to have flat ends on them.

    Thanks guys.

    What is your rear setup? I have Dakars.

    Front is lifted about 2.0" with OME 884X's and 5100's and my rear sits a little high. I like the rake.

    With the Eibach 700# coils, 6112's plus plate bumper, winch and aux battery, will the lift still be the spec'd 2.15" at 4th notch? Or will it be less lift because of the added bumper/winch/battery weight?

    Should I go to 5th notch (spec'd to be 2.46") and maybe expect lower lift height?

    Thanks again.

    4th notch with plate bumper and winch looks plenty high to me...I'll let @Dajeepman comment further on that.

    I got mine from summit I paid 92$ for each spring. total was 197 to my door. I think wheelers wanted 220 for a set of them.
