    Suspension is not my wheelhouse, I'm feeling lost. I have two questions for you wonderful people.

    I want to upgrade my shocks on all four corners, but I don't know how to account for my springs.

    In the rear I have an add-a-leaf set ( )

    I've got a set of Bilstein B12 front springs (used in the 6112 kit) that I plan on installing. What shocks would be my best bet?

    Purely depends on your budget. Sure we would all love Kings or Fox all around, but based on your selection of AAL I don't think it's the case. Bilstein 5100's optimize the stock coil springs while the 6112 uses the springs that you have. Your best bet would probably be the 6112 kit and possibly upgrading your AAL or replacing the entire leaf pack.
