    2010 TRD, 110k had stock suspension so I installed the Bilstein 6112/5160 and ARB EL111R leaf springs. Also Pirelli Scorpions A/T 265/70/17.

    Installed 6112 first and they were a huge improvement on the road and off. Just added the rear suspension, but haven't been off road yet. Nice and soft ride, but not too mushy at all. The Pirellis are nice and quiet, not too heavy. 1" taller than stock.20201125_121934.jpg

    6112 set at 3/2

    Nice! Truck has a great stance. Do you know how much lift you got out of the front set at 3/2?

    I was shooting for 1" on the front. Don't want to mess with tweaking drive shaft, etc. I didn't measure before/after, but I'm sure it was raised "good inch" or more.
    These settings worked perfect for leveling left/right without spacers.

    I noticed the leaf springs show different lift amounts for gen2 and gen3 (less with gen3). Not sure if that is applicable to shocks/struts.
