    Hey guys I'm new to the forum! I'm really looking at getting a set of the 6112/5160 for my gen3 trd sport DCLB 4x4? I'm looking to get 2.5in lift so I figured I would set the coil on the highest setting. will this really effect my ride quality?

    I was looking into the same, the 3rd gen 6112 max out about 2", the 2nd gen 6112 maxes out about 2.5", lots of people ran 2nd gen on 2016, and the difference between OME coils and some other springs, the Bilstein uses a linear coil spring, meaning if you preload it to the max setting it will not change the ride quality. I am not sure about Fox, King, or Icon if they use a progressive spring, meaning as it compresses, the spring rate increases and get stiffer.
