Anyone running 6112/5160 with no rear lift?

    Long time lurker but figured I would post here for some advice.

    I have a stock '21 TRD OR DCSB that I'm looking to add some aftermarket suspension on to give it a more level stance. I have decided on 6112s on the front and 5160s on the rear. I want to maintain ride quality while also bringing the front up in height.

    I see most people are adding a leaf in the rear or swapping out a leaf pack to give it some rear lift as well. I only ever have up to 100lbs in the bed and don't think I can justify a leaf/leaf pack. I wouldn't mind some lift in the rear but am concerned it will stiffen the ride too much. Alternatively I'm concerned that down the road if I only lift the front the stock leaf pack will eventually start to sag and I'll have a bit of a lean so maybe its better to go ahead and add the leaf?

    I'll be sitting on 265/75/16 tires once its all said and done. It's my daily driver that sees some gravel roads and camping trips a few times per year.

    Is anyone running just this setup with no rear lift? If so, mind sharing a picture?

    So I did the same thing for the better part of a year. #9/7 on the front settings. Had a bit of a bro lean after everything settled in (bro lean = higher in front, right?!).

    So I went ahead and added a 1" block to the rear to bring it back up. Probably should have done 1/2" block in rear and been okay to get me to level.

    Here's a side(boob) pic as it sits now:

    No pics pre-block but post 6112/5160 install...sorry.

    Can I get an update if your front settled down any more? Just got my 6112s in, just debating on rear height now. Not super interested in rake/rarely load the bed and would like a good even lift.

    Would like to go 1.7” in the front @ 9/7 clip (3rd gen Sport) and the debate is 1/2” or 1” in the rear. A few months later still think 1/2” rear would’ve been okay for level to you?

    I am still sitting pretty close to those pics. If I did it again, I would go 1/2" in the rear. Would probably be perfect leveling-wise. But I frequently carry stuff, so mine works for me right now.

    Awesome! Was on the fence for awhile, think you helped me decide on 1/2" rear thanks!

    Maybe go the add a leaf option, truck will ride better (smoother), but it does lift 1.5-2", and maybe you can lift a bit more up front with the 6112's
