    Just bought a pair of bilstein 6112 front shocks with the clips at #6 &#5. It’s advertised as providing a 2in lift but I want 3in. Please advise on best front spring that can replace existing ones to give me the 3in lift I want.

    2” is better… 3” won’t be healthy for those CVS over time. 2” will still get you the nanner nanner :D and +1 for being smart.

    on 3rd gens that 1” of lift is barely noticeable, but really changes a lot of the ride quality and braking.

    save the $ for tires

    As far as Springs You could go with 650lb for the added weight. Also guys have ran top 6/6 settings with 1/4” spacer on driver side without issues.

    I got three inches with the 650lb spring and setting 6/5. Going on two weeks and and hasn't settled yet. I installed myself and saved a some money.

    PM me if you have any other questions.
