    Just FYI: They were. We got a good amount in stock and sold those rather quickly. Waiting on the next shipment to come in and currently out of stock.

    6112/5160 is definitely the way to go.

    It almost seems like I have a factory like rake as of now. Photo is a bit decieving, maybe the big dog on the bed is making the truck sag. :D

    I didn't do any measuring unfortunately. I installed the lift three days ago, so I would think it needs a bit more time to settle.

    It does look like it has a slight rake which I like. Is this with the factor overload removed? The 285s fit the wheel well nicely, wonder how 265/75/16 would look.

    Didnt remove anything, just installed the AAL.

    I think 285/75/16 are just the right size. Not too big and not too small.

    How's it ride with the overload left in? I'm considering the same setup or a medium dakar pack. I tow a 19' bass boat and like the idea of keeping some rake. Great looking truck BTW.

    While I was installing the lift, an older tech kept coming over to the bay I was working at and said that the truck is gonna "ride like horseshit". Apparently thought it was gonna be super stiff. I personally think it rides amazing.

    Haven't had the opportunity to take it on any trails, but the true test was a set of railroad tracks I pass over every day to and from work. Every time I would go over them with the stock suspension, the front would bounce over the tracks and once the rear wheels would hit the tracks it would feel as if the truck was bottoming out on the bumpstops and then continue to bounce afterwards as if the shocks were blown. Now, with the new suspension, the truck abosorbs all bumps and there is absolutely no bouncey ride afterwards.

    Its hard to explain, but its almost as if this is the way the truck should have came from the factory. Im sure the truck would handle even better if i decreased sidewall size as well. I may toy with more added air pressure. Sorry for the long post. lol

    Thanks for the feedback @bladsville

    I'm definitely leaning towards the 6112/5160 setup at 5/6 clip setting, but still on the fence with what tire size, leafs, and uca's to install. Originally I was planning on the OME 888 with 5100's and Dakar, but I keep hearing great things about the 6112/5160's.

    I have the 6112s on the 3/4 clip with 275/70/17 K02s aired down to 32 PSI and i am very happy with the setup. Went with stock UCAs, and a block with Icon 2.0 w/ resi in the rear as was the cheapest way to go and i havent found any i'll effects. I'll probably get a full leaf pack at some point now that funds have been replenished.
