Either,.. it was more of a time issue. But had I had the option, the rear would have been easier to do but with the xreas , I can't do either or. I would need to do all at once. I would need 4 Jack stands and not sure if it's high enough.

Status Report:
After seeing what the lifts were at the different spring seat circlip grooves, I decided to place mine on the middle groove and shoot for a 2" lift.
It came in at exactly 2"
Front L & R Side = 37"
Rear L & R Side = 37"
Alignment done...drives really good and nice ride quality with these 6112's!
Photos included!
I threw in a flex photo. Flexing in a small ditch...

OEM Springs in rear.
Even with the lift? You don't need longer/stiffer springs?

5160 are just reservoir shocks. The lift is obtained from longer/stiffer springs.
And if the 6100 is giving 2" of lift up front, don't you want some lift out back as well? Which gets back to my question about what springs to use in back.

not if you are looking to just even out the front. The back end is higher than the front so people want to even out the front and back and get rid of the rake, they just lift the front slightly.
The lift from the 6112 will vary depending on which groove you put the circlip on. Theoretically, you could have 6112 in the front and 5160 in the rear and not have any lift.
