6112's 6th notch down to 5th. Ride quality?

That's would be my guess too. Dump the spacer lifts, they are the weak link! And a 2" rear block???? That rear end must bounce like an old whore.

 

hahaha its definitely not the greatest but its temporary. the 5125's in the rear have been great tho. just finished blowing all my money on a tune, re-gear, 35's, sliders, SPCs, and waiting for my CMR kit to come in so i can get that done as well. its been an expensive 2 months lol

leaf pack, SSO Slimline (possibly), and air compressor are the next main items on the list.

 

my biggest problem is patience. I'm finally getting around to the "buy once, cry once" mindset and I know I should have done that from the very beginning. but I know from a lot of reading that the 6112's are great shocks so im sure lowering the clips will make a good bit of difference. I think Readylift may have just miscalculated how much their setup jacks up the truck. After hearing @71tattooguy's hub to fender measurement it sounds like it is OVER the advertised 3 inches.

 

It isn’t the top plate spacer that is causing the bad ride over bumps. This ia due to the preload being set at 6. My OME lift rode like shit over speed bumps, it was pathetic. If you lower to 4 I suspect you will be happier. If you really want tue extra rider height swap out the top plate spacers to the next size up. This mixed setup will give you the best ride while maintaining lift.

 

i gotcha. so lower notch on the coil setting and larger spacer. for less preload im assuming... i think setting 5 is where i'd prefer the stance WITH MY CURRENT setup. ill try that first i guess and see what the ride quality is like after

 

Toytec used to offer a 1/4 inch top plate spacer to get approx 1/2 inch lift, they also offered a 1/2 inch top plate spacer to give 3/4 - 1 inch if lift. I wouldn’t go with anything’s bigger than that for top plate because this pushes things down allowing for a greater CV angle, no biggie for DD only but on the trails it could cause more stress to the CV’s that may end up contributing to breakage.

 

Did you talk to your alignment guy?

 

E rated tires will effect ride as well. We could debate preload all day long

 

alignment is pretty solid. a little lower caster than i'd ideally like but the clearance is really good right now with the 35's

 

thats for sure lol i have a lift here at work. if its slow i might throw it on there and see what kind of droop there is in front (if any) cause im thinking the shocks are maybe just fully extended with the way theyre set up

 

35x11.50R17LT C 118Q current tires im running. at 32psi Nitto Trail Grappler

 

Nice tire choice!!

 

How did you fitt 35s?

 

thanks! love them! and i think they look incredible

 

LCA's maxed all the way forward. SPC UCA's set to setting F. Viper cut on front bumper and CMC, pinch weld hammered and minor trimming on bottom of fender on cab side. i do have a CMR ordered for more peace of mind but everything clears pretty well right now with no issues. wheels are 17x8.5 -10 offset SCS F5's. caster is 1.7/2.0

 

this is wheel fully locked on flat ground with the setup I just mentioned

 

Update for anyone that’s following or was curious…. Got the 6112’s set up with regular top hats set at 6/5 clip settings and I’m speechless. It’s like I’m riding on clouds and is so much better. I’m convinced that Readylift must have miscalculated how much lift their setup caused. CV’s look to be muuuuuuuuuchhhh happier and the stance of the truck looks way better than before. Definitely was squatted before. Thank you everyone that gave input in helping me out.

 

ooh. that is nice

 

Awesome that you followed up

 

My local shop has this kit in stock and is pushing me on it. I was originally just going to go with 6112/5160 and AAL because I only wanted a 2 inch lift up front , 1.5 rear. The 2 inch block kind of scares me. You say the ride is good though? This kit is very inexpensive

** edit - I see that you are selling the kit now in classifieds
