The larger bolt :noidea:

I started to bolt mine on tonight. On the middle bracket, bottom mounting hole, it is a larger non-threaded hole. The kit included two larger self tapping bolts that could have been meant for this hole but they just slide in. Am I missing something? Did you guys have to tap this hole and fit a...

As I commented on the other thread linked in this discussion, I was very happy with the end results of my modest lift and tires. If you go with the 2" setting (4th ring) on the 6112s, you may further reduce any alignment issues and also reduce the need for upgraded UCAs. This also fits better...

Makes sense. Only brought it up since I noticed other threads discuss lean and attempting to fix it by rebalancing the KDSS system. Not sure if this is the same lean but noted that it was already present and had nothing to do with the KDSS and lift. From my research, with a modest lift, the KDSS...

I rechecked and my front was set on the 4th ring. So with the tires 275/70/17 KO2s and 2" setting on the strut my body sits 3.5" higher than stock. The rear had a stock rake 2.5" higher than front, so the lower rear lift ended up reducing the rake by 1.5", making it look more level. Interesting...

The middle Circlip setting (3rd groove) will get you a 2" lift on say a 14' 4WD Trail or SR5 instead of what is shown on the pamphlet (1.25" AVERAGE LIFT) on an un-weighted T4R. This has been discussed in other threads here concerning heights...

Toby the pug was not a fan of the Monache Trail. Recovery time.

Here is a pic fully loaded with gear. A slight rear sag but I have the back and roof overloaded. The family must take everything.

As another reference for those that follow, my lift ended up being Bilstein 6112 at 2.5" in front with Bilstein 5100 rear shocks. Used the Icon 2" Rear springs. Combined with KO2s 275/70R17, ended up with a 3.5" front lift and a 2.25" rear lift. With the 2" factory rake, leveled out nice...

Thank you for the reply confirming compatibility on the 2016. After going to the local shop I ended up ordering the 6112 set at 2" for the front and the 5100 for the rear. Also went with the Icon 2" rear coil and the 1" front diff drop. Based on the info I read I am hoping it will work out...

I am considering the same setup but called Bilstein about the 6112 for a 2016 trail and they indicated that the product only fits 2015 and earlier. I did not think there was any change in 2016? Also, would the 5125 be ok vs the 5160 to avoid reservoir install? Any impact to ride height? I see...
