    All the way up on 5th.

    Had it on 4th, then moved it to 5th. Couldn’t feel a performance difference. So I kept it a 5th for a little bit more front lift.

    Had the lean spacer when I had the standard 5100’s. Took em off when I did 6112/700.

    I balanced out the truck instead. The Optima aux battery and other heavy shit is on the PS of the truck. At least I THINK I balanced it out

    I don't think she can recommend nor advise on 700 lb Springs, due to warranty or whatever else Bilstein reasons. (From whatever I can remember from that 6112 thread).

    Are you on the highest notch?
    You have 2nd gen specific five notch 6112, right?

    @El Dahs

    Which fox CO you got and what's the factory spring rate for that CO?

    What's your rear set up?
    I know you got dakars and a flip, but do you have a tower relocate?

    What shock are you running?

    @stairgod Same questions.

    @HolyHandGrenade I would ask you but you have a build thread.

    If I'm going to pay for 6112s + coils+ assembly I might as well buy a CO.

    Starts with d close enough. Really bad marketing , if you ask me.

    With the tower relocate, does that use the factory mounting location on the axle?

    Yes you should.

    883-02-025 Fox coilovers. They come with #600. I went up to #650 but then bought #700 from @Grand dude

    I do have Deaver J66 rear springs with the SOS Concepts shackle flip, BAMF shock relocate and 985-24-006
    Fox rear shocks.

    Yes when you do the relocate you will have to redo the mounts on the axle

    @HolyHandGrenade

    You don't happen to know collapsed and extended lengths on ADS 2.5 rears.

    I can't find a part # to look it up.

    I do not. Never looked at the rears. I’m still running B110s. I doubt I’ll ever change them at this point.

    If I just want a project to do, I MIGHT do a relocate one of these days. We shall see.

    I believe they’re more of a custom, built to your needs, deal. Thus, no listed specs.

    That's probably what I'll go with.

    How does your rear feel on washboards?

    I have no complaints with how my truck handles, feels, or drives in any situation.
