    sortof stock. 6112/5160, pro wheels and a tune.
    3BBE7202-FA6B-49E0-9AAD-25F083B40D63.jpg mine are set at 5/4 aswell. i felt like 1.5 was a good compromise to still get a decent alignment without having to get ucas. i also have a 3 leaf mini pack out back. the ride is great. way better than my 5100s, and feels about the same as my fox pro shocks i had. (those were smoother on low speed bumps)

    If I were to get a 2-2.5 inch block, should I worry about then axle warp more?

    I run 6112s at their highest settings (5/6) and have 275/70/17. Add-a-leaf in the rear. Truck was fairly heavy in this pic.
    No rubbing in normal driving, only during significant flex.

    Hi everyone, not sure if this post is still active but I’m thinking about getting the 6112/5160 from shocksurplus.com the circlip settings is 11/9. I see some of you saying 5/6 not sure if these were updated since the last time. I want to lift mine but not sure to which setting. Also if I was to lift to 11/9 will I need UCA?

    I would switch over to this thread with any questions

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/bilstein-6112.421995/page-326

    They updated them last year to 11 settings vs the old 6. Top out on 3rd gen would be something like 11/9, i went 10/8. You should not need upper control arms replaced (I havn't).
