    4 year old 6112's lowered from 6/5 notch to 4/3. I thought it was going to be lower with the settling I had over the years, but it pretty much leveled the truck. What do you guys think? I don't love the level look, so I might just try and go down to 3/2. Question is, would I need to get another alignment? I might wait a bit if so.

    Hey guys, I seem to remember that some get higher-than-stated height measurements. I've had mine for 3-4 years installed, and just got the front lowered to 4/3 which is supposed to be 1" higher than the stock (21") height. I just measured mine at ~1.3" but its hard to get an accurate measurement at the same time. I do remember when I just got them on at the 6/5 setting it was higher than 2" as well. But even settled over the years and recently lowered to 4/3, it still seems to be higher than the 1" they state. Is higher numbers normal with these as I seem to recall reading about years ago?

    About to pull the trigger on a set of 6112's/5160's with the RXT pack in the rear, From reading looks like I should set the clips to the 6/5 setting, anyone with this setup confirm this will avoid large amounts of rake....

    So I’ve got a bit of rake now on option 2. Truck looks fantastic and rides so much better than it did with the AAL. With minor trimming I could probably fit 35’s. Here are some after and before pics. Sorry the things filthy.

    Looks Great, I don't really notice the rake in the pictures, I'm guessing forward rake? Would you speculate that at option 1 with the clips at 6/5 It would sit relatively level?

    Probably, especially with no weight in the bed. I’m about 5/8” higher in the back and I used to be 1/2 lower in the back

    Odd nobody installing the newer versions of the 6112s. Installed mine last month. Leveled it using an icon three leaf AAL and set the clips at 7 and 9. I must've missed somebody's post.

    I just installed mine straight from the box they are the 3" but I think the front might be too lifted in my opinion can I go from the 5th notch to the 4th? Attached is the picture of how it sits right now. The rear has a 2 inch block.
