Just max it where you want it from the get go. You won't be nose high at all. Just save yourself time and money and Think of it as a reminder to go with the tires you want in the future.

pm coachbuilder, i think he recommends 1.9 with his shims ontop to get more then 2" lift but keep the ride quality of the 1.9"

 

This is the exact setup I have with the coach shims and 6112's. Super nice and soft in the front.

 

Thanks Kris & Taco,

On the 6112's does more height mean less compliance on the ride? Been trying to search that but just can't find the answer. I guess the other point was to figure out what width tire I can get on without rub if I only raise the front say 2"

 

I went 6112 on top setting with 5160 in the rear Toytec shackles on top setting. Pics here: http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tundra-build-logs/578250-thodhyes-mountain-build-2.html#post7929609

 

I did 6112/5160 and +2 shackles. The shocks went on first and then a few days later I had the shackles done. With just the shocks (top setting on the 6112s) the tape measure said that I was .25in higher in the back then the front.

 

Thanks guys,

I think I am figuring out my preferred route on installation. Very much appreciate the info.

I would like to know what is max size tire with no rubbing (assuming rims with better offset than OEM) if I was to stay at the 3rd clip on the 6112's. In other words, is there a major difference in clearance with top clip vs 3rd clip (2" vs 2.5" lift up front)

Stick with 2". If you go higher you might need new UCAs to get good alignment, and going higher won't fix your clearance issues (if you have any)... because sometimes you will hit bumps when turning. It isn't like your truck will be at 2.5" all the time.

If you want to maximize your tire size, you need to pay attention to your wheel offset. Don't go lower than +25. +30 or +35 may be better. You should be fine with minor mods to gain clearance with 35x12.5 or smaller. With a little more work, you can even fit 37x13.5. This guy did it with a 2" front lift: http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tu...t/forums/tundra-build-logs/373353-kevinks-2014-doublecab-5-7-ffv-4x4-trd-5.html

I recently posted a thread about this stuff here: http://www.tundratalk.net/forums/tu...tundra-suspension-talk/641778-strut-lifts-tire-size-wheel-offset-clearance.html

BTW, I think the 6112s are a great choice. Unfortunately my truck will be loaded though, so the 600lb springs aren't ideal.

 

Got the 6112/5100 setup installed today. Ended up going to third clip up (or one down from top) on the 6112's. Looks like it is completely leveled at moment by eyeball in the dark. I hear they will settle some after a few thousand miles. I have 275/70/18 on KO2's and OEM rims which are brand new just prior to pulling the trigger on the suspension. All things considered think this was the right setting with no change out back other than 5100 install.

They ride noticeably better than the stock TRD shocks / springs - huge improvement in my book. Thanks for the input all.

 

Have any pictures of the truck as it stands now?

Will get some and post tomorrow. Just picked her up from alignment and its quite dark out. Have 2 jeeps and a few other toys taking the garage space at moment.

 

6112/5100 combo. Love it

 

Looks great, sapz. What setting do you have the 6112's on? And what size wheels/tires?

 

A few iPhone pics from this morning, 6112 (3rd highest clip) & 5100 in stock rear. They ride so much nicer than the stock TRD setup.

 

Looks good

I've got the same kit on my 08 DC, they get better the harder you beat on them! Lands nice and smooth too! I noticed a huge improvement when pulling my toy hauler in reducing that galloping down the highway feeling! I went with the 2.5" setting, and am considering air bags in the rear now, it's really squatting with 1600lbs of tongue weight!

 

Here's my '14 with 6112s on the highest setting, Toytec shackles on the back and 295/70/18 Nitto RidgeGraplers. I had to trim back the splash plate a bit to get rid of some rubbing when the wheels are fully turned.
