    Hey question. Is anyone running 6112's on a regular cab? I am bing told by vendor (suspensionlifts) that I should run 5100s because 6112s are only approved for access/double cabs.

    They also said this isnt the case on gen1 and gen3 which has be baffled.

    Is anyone running these on a regular cab? Also I am trying to figure out the clip setting (which is what kicked off this conversation). I am looking to raise the front ~1.75 to match the 1.75 rear lift from Icon RXT with 200 leaf and 200lb cap.

    EDIT: I have done quite a bit of searching and havent seen many threads regarding the regular cabs with these.

    Just in case you're still wondering 3 years later, they're fine on a regular cab, you just need to do trial and error to find the clip setting because our trucks are lighter and Bilstein didn't feel like finding out.

    Perfect timing - I installed 5160s and Stage II of the Icon RXT pack in the rear - looking to refresh the worn 5100s up front on my truck and have been thinking about pulling trigger on some 6112s. Figured they should fit but would lift more than on an access or double cab. What setting do you have yours at and do you know how much lift it gave you?

    I always forget to measure the before when I lift or lower vehicles, but here's a pic of mine on clip #8 with a 1/2" and 1/4" spacer on driver and passenger side with roughly 32" tires. So lift wise I'm equivalent to about #10/#9 clip settings, but I'm probably gonna lower it down a little because even on clip #8 they top out way too hard and way too easily. If I were you I'd probably start on 7/7 with a 1/4" lean spacer on driver's, or 8/7 if you don't want a lean spacer. You can always mess around with it before alignment, but should get you a good 2-3in of lift that'll match up with the RXTs under your camping gear.
