    About to pull the trigger on a set of 6112's/5160's with the RXT pack in the rear, From reading looks like I should set the clips to the 6/5 setting, anyone with this setup confirm this will avoid large amounts of rake....

    So I’ve got a bit of rake now on option 2. Truck looks fantastic and rides so much better than it did with the AAL. With minor trimming I could probably fit 35’s. Here are some after and before pics. Sorry the things filthy.

    Looks Great, I don't really notice the rake in the pictures, I'm guessing forward rake? Would you speculate that at option 1 with the clips at 6/5 It would sit relatively level?

    Probably, especially with no weight in the bed. I’m about 5/8” higher in the back and I used to be 1/2 lower in the back

    Odd nobody installing the newer versions of the 6112s. Installed mine last month. Leveled it using an icon three leaf AAL and set the clips at 7 and 9. I must've missed somebody's post.

    I just installed mine straight from the box they are the 3" but I think the front might be too lifted in my opinion can I go from the 5th notch to the 4th? Attached is the picture of how it sits right now. The rear has a 2 inch block.

    Thank you for the replay I'm new with Tacoma's been building mustang all my life recently decided to switch it up. As for the hub to fender its 24 3/4. I installed them yesterday would it be a good idea to wait for the alignment?

    A few questions what coils you have in front. I’m sure 600lb coils. They will settle a bit. My hub to fender 23.5” 650 coils but I have full steel skids , steel sliders. Yes you should get it aligned IMO. What tire size 265/75/16 or stock?
