    That is what I have as well, the 11 setting one. Seems they and the RXTs are very predictable with stock weight. They become a little less predictable with added weight which is what I have. I feel pretty decent about predicting the RXTs if I assume 0.5" drop per 200 pounds of weight. The 6112s are tougher.

    I installed up front: SPC UCA’s, Bilstein 6112’s on the 5 (highest) notch with new top hats.
    Rear: the RXT leaf pack (new) - and Bilstein 5100(?) shock. I took measurements before I started and I’ll share after it’s all set up.

    So I’ve another question. The RXT leaf packs don’t have a hole that I see to hook up the bracket cable to like the OME did. Any suggestions?

    For this I wallowed out the hole on the bracket and attached it to the middle clamp. There were more than enough threads to do this. I think most just cut it off though.

    EDIT: First clamp with the RXT's.

    Sorry, first clamp on the RXT's now that I'm thinking about it.

    I used the middle clamp for my new Deavers.

    Thanks. When you put up measurements, can you let us know what option you used on the leaf pack and also any added weight?
