    Whoa, just watched your vid & gotta say your truck looks awesome! now I'm still debating if I should still go with a single AAL or progressive I just wanna gain 1.5" of lift for the rear but on the site it's saying the single gives u about 1.5-2" but I don't want 2" or do I have to work in the suspension first as it settles? Btw nice wheels are those methods your running?

    Thanks! After putting on the cap it looked different than adding the lift even more so.

    If you remove the overload that will take off 1/2 inch. My friend has 6112/5160 with a single AAL and he's happy with it.

    they'll all settle but it also depends if your current leaf pack is sagging already or not.

    my wheels are SCS Ray10s. thanks

    I'd be interested in your lift numbers after you put some miles on it and it settles. I've been debating on this lift or just getting the 6112/5160's. I'm looking for 2 inches all around so this would work for me. Thanks.

    i installed the 650 springs and left both sides on the 3rd clip position, both sides got raised by 1/4". I'm happy with the results, decided not to go to the 4th position because i still want some rake.

    what's great about the 6112 you can adjust the perch. The TRD version you cannot but some are replacing the perch with a larger spacer giving them up to 3 inches. It's still not as 'tuneable' as the 6112 though. a 3 leaf AAL or leaf pack sounds like what you are looking for the rear.

    I'm not really concerned with them being adjustable as long as I can get and maintain 2 inches of lift up front. If I can get the front and rears for the price of the 6112's with 2 inches of lift then I'm sold. Thanks again.

    I followed the 05-15 Pro Suspension package from the beginning when it was discounted to 684. I do a lot of towing and highway driving and did not want the 1.5-2 inch lift that they are fixed at. I plan to run the 6112 one notch up. I have sumo springs on the rear and I don't want to mess with the leaf pack

    Coat them with Shark hide. It holds up great. I have used it on Snowmobile trailer and also on pontoon boat they both still look brand new after 5 years.

    What is the difference between 5100 and 5125? Are the 5125 just generic shocks in 10, 12, and 14 inch instead of Tacoma specific part number for 5100?

    Just got my 6112's w/700# springs and RCD B110's for the rear. These will be replacing an OME setup with 885's and Nitrochargers. I'm in the process of rebuilding a set of LCA's so the install is going to be delayed. I'll report back once they're on.

    Other places are selling it for cheaper, I bought it back beginning of february for $550 plus shipping. Look at some other suppliers for a better price.
    There are a couple of threads for this deal https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-discount-price-on-trd-pro-suspension-kit.534207/
