    I've heard others on here say that springs are different per side. Don't know if this was for certain years?? But I do know Baja/Pros do have the higher notch for DS. On my wife's 4Runner I had to add a spacer when using stock SR5 springs @.85 on 5100's also.

    I've also been told that some have the lean and some don't. Just seems to me most do:rolleyes:

    Ok, as I said on road these things are very well mannered. Truck definitely handles much better(turns, potholes even noticed them when I was on the brakes). Off road they handled the dirt equally well. Granted I wasn't bombing through the desert but a noticeable improvement. Breaking over berms,ruts and gullies all where a more stable and controlled feeling ride. Where I really noticed them was on the rebound. That took the hit no matter what it was, rebound and stabilize immediately. No more floating like I'm in a boat.
    Didn't have time to push them like I wanted to today, plus to be honest it was sloppy as shit today and I have a wedding this weekend. No time for clean up.:D
    I'll add when I can.
    Would like to hear others impressions after their installs. Mark

    Cool, sounds more compliant, truck looks great. I was hoping you were replacing 5100s, would love to hear a direct comparison. Especially if you don't off road much more than dirt roads.

    Thanks. Not really just "dirt roads" where I access every day but..
    I did have 5100's at 1.75 on my 2010 Sport and from what I remember these are much better all around at least on first impressions. Maybe it was the preload on the 5100's? Only time will tell.

    How much lift did you get in the front and rear? Do you have before and after measurements?

    I'm really digging the looks of these 6112's. ^^^ This is my thought process as well. 4th setting with dakars and 5165 in back. I want to add a shell and still have some slight rake to it. Someone do this and let me know how it goes/looks.

    Have you had any settling of the springs yet?

    Mine are being installed today, on the 2nd notch. My installer says that the front is sitting about 1/8" high in front as of right now, so I'm hoping that it will settle just a little bit over the next week or so before I get my alignment, but wanted to see if yours are still at the same level as when first installed.
