    My truck is currently lifted about 2.5" all around (AAL on the rear and a 1.5" spacer lift up front) with the factory shocks. I just bought new 6112's for the front and 5160's for the rear. What will give a better overall ride, the 6112's set at 2.5" or leave the spacer in and set the front shocks to 0?
