    Did some search didn't find what I was looking for. I'm thinking that instead of using the 5/6 settings on 6112's it would be better to use a 1/4 spacer to get the same response from the shocks. Any thoughts on this?

    A 1/4" spacer is usually used on only the driver's side to offset the taco lean. On both sides, just use the clips would be my suggestion. A 1/4" spacer would be negligibly noticeable

    Some people do that but it seems it's preferred to us the X/X+1 setting as that's how Bilstein designed the shock to be used

    Thanks for the replies. I went ahead and ordered them set at 5/6.

    Where'd you order from? I've been researching lifts for the last month and am leaning towards these but they seem to be out of stock most places

    Well I went with Wheeler's. Free shipping and 10% discount. Now I just need to be patient and wait. Just the way it is now. Also went with 5100's on the rear and Icon progressive add a leaf.

    Yall ever thought about backing off the preload and using 1" strut spacers to gain lift? Of course need to correctly bump stop. I got 700lbs springs and want to take some preload off, its so dang rough.
