Currently sitting on 5100/887/AAL without overload spring.
Have bumper, sliders, roof rack and full sounded deadened interior. Possibly add a winch later.
After extensive research I decided to go with 6112's for price and durability.
Don't hate me Tyler. Haha.
Was pretty set on the Icon 2.5 Extended Travel - 700lbs. I decided against it due to reported leaking issues and some of the other horror stories (Broken Top Mounts). With my luck, it would become a nightmare and I didn't want to rebuild them every 40k miles as Icon suggested/recommends.
Wanted the cheapest solution with room to grow. Don't drive much in general. I hate driving. Just hard park it.
Figured I could just slap on the 6112's on front. Upgrade to the 650lbs coils on the 6/5 coil settings. Should compensate for the driver lean and allow me to ditch 1/4" driver side spacer.
I've seen a bunch at 6/6. 6/5. 5/4. With and without spacers. Some have spacers on just the driver side for the lean. Some have it on both sides.
I realized when I had the SSO and Stage II on, the passenger side was right up against the bumper and it pushed the plastic up which threw it all off. It wasn't until after I sold the bumper that the spacer would have raised the driver side. So I want to ditch the spacer or possibly go 5/4 on the coils and add 1/4" spacers on both sides to maintain the lift and also have the travel while being level on both sides.
For the rear, I'm going to run the 5100's and add the overload spring back in for the 2".
Later on swap out the 5100 for the 5160's.
From there get new leafs. Between the Icons or the Dakars.
Think this would be enough for a little lift from where I'm at now and keep it pretty level? Anyone have pics on 6112's?
What's your setup? Coil settings? Spacers? Rear? Weight add-ons?
Have a Carrier Bearing Drop. Will I need anything else? Sway Bar Relocation Kit?
