    I’m looking to manage my weight issues and rear sag, and pick up some performance. I’ve been mining suspension threads here for months, and decided to just ask. Looking for folks with DCLB, running Bilstein 6112’s in front and one of the Billie options in back with Dakar leaf packs. Bonus if you are typically heavy in the back.
    What settings on the 6112s? HD on the Dakar’s?

    Its getting bad, Im almost broke.
    Why not run airbags with a daystar cradle? I run a icon leaf pack in the rear and when im towing heavy i put pressure in the airbags. Best of both worlds.

    Airbags are a good option and I might still do that. I was just seeking what the suspension got folks. I lost an inch just from the cap, and my everyday load of tools, platform, recovery gear.

    Thank you!

    I have a short bed but should still give you an idea. I have the 6112 with the 5160 and Dakar Medium Leafs. 6112 were set at 4/5 settings. After 3 weeks, I gained approx 1.5 front and 1.7 rear. I have an ARE Overland shell, Taco bedmat, Max Trax in the truck at all times. I also measured with a 170 lb Mt Raineer Rooftop Tent on the Cap to see how much I lost. Dropped 7/8" on passenger side and only 1/4 inch on the driver side. Not really sure why. Some variables are truck was not perfectly level with RTT on as it does not fit in garage with tent on. Also some variables could have been amount of fuel.
