    I am looking to lift the front of my 2019 SBDC Limited 3" and I am looking at the 6112 or Revtek options. My truck is admittedly a pavement princess with the occasional dirt road to access snowmobiling areas. I don't want to do a spacer but I don't need the higher end CO's; I had Fox/BDS on my 2014 Tundra and the ride was incredible :).

    So the question is, does anyone have experience with the Revtex CO? I have heard nothing but good on the Bilstein.

    Thanks in advance!

    I haven’t purchased them. I can’t find a single discussion regarding them and I’m not willing To be the first. I’m leaning towards the Readylift Bilstein 6112.

    I had the equivalent of 6112 (it was the 2nd gen TRD pro Baja edition suspension). Basically a 6112 Bilstein but it was non-adjustable height, tuned specifically for Toyota. It only provided 1.75" lift. I found it stiff, but a lot of people likes the ride of it. Now if you were to get the actual 6112 and crank it to 3", I am pretty sure it'll be a rough ride due to the preload and less suspension travel.

    Readylift essentially puts a small spacer on top to get 3”. Hmmmm

    the more I read and listen, the more I lean towards a Fox or Elka solution. It’s not the mo way so much as not wanting to spend on something I want utilize too the full extent.

    I’m sure it will. 3rd gen runs 2016 through current.

    I want 3” but I already did the cab mount chop before lifting so I don’t know if I really need 3”
