    Yes, the ones Wheelers sell. I have decided that I'm going with the B110 shocks because I will be running Dakars +
    $81 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL aal with Wheelers bump stops and want as much travel as I can get.

    I started installing my kit yesterday. The front is done. Going to install the rear today.

    I'm using the video from lowrangeoffroad as a guide to install it.

    https://youtu.be/IOW-FRDl5wg Front

    https://youtu.be/IOW-FRDl5wg Rear

    The only the different thing in the front for the 2nd gen is the bolts are 19mm instead of a 22mm for the lower arms.

    The install is similar to the OME and they give you torque specs

    Here is my alignment on my 2013 4 door tacoma off road with the 6112 at setting #3 and 1.5" add a leaf in the rear without overloads. The installs went pretty smooth. I did it over the weekend by myself doing the front 1 day & the rear the next day. ( I wasn't in a rush ) The ride is a lot better over stock shocks. I used the stock UCA's that came on the truck.

    Yours looks real good. Mine is closer to Tacoma 2013's I'd like to see a little more caster but I assumed I couldn't get any better with stock UCA's? It drives okay nice and straight but a little more stability would be good but its fine. I'll ask next time. Thanks * BTW 3rd clip with 1/4" spacer dr side + aal's = about 2" lift all around

    @Crom just want to say this right here is what made me just buy a set of 6112s. Following your setup and going with the Dakars with the B110s in the rear. Still piecing everything together but how you drive and what you recommended is how I finally just bit the bullet and went with these. For bumps I already have the Timbrenes in the rear, did you have to do anything crazy on your set up with the B110s?

    I've had my 2nd Gen 6112s/5160s for about 5 months now. Can't really say anything bad about them. Probably moving up to 5th notch, Dakars, and 285s soon. Just wish I could find taller springs to ease up on preload.

    Am trying to decided on the 650# or 700# coils right now. Will have CBI aluminum front bumper, Superwinch Talon 9.5SR, Full aluminum skid plates, rock sliders and next year a dual battery under the hood. Thinking the 650's would be good on the 4th notch and 700's on the 3rd notch since they won't sag as much.
