What setting is everyone using with a 6112 setup?

I'm going to follow this for my 2017 KDSS build. In order to figure out the Billstein spring release, is that somewhere on their website?

Also, is anyone getting rubbing from their 275 series tires? I am a big fan of Duratracs and am trying to figure out if I can run this lift on TRD Pro wheels with 285 Duratracs or if I have to stick with 265s. (For some reason the duratracs don't come in 275s, which is odd to me.)
 
My 6112 are set at 7/6. I have 285/70/17 Ridge Grapplers. They do not rub after removing the mudflaps. I did get upper arms too.

Whats your ride height looking at right now from the ground? I'm a full 1" lower on the passenger side running 6/6 with KDSS.
 
Took these measurements before I installed my 6112's earlier this year.
Revised version using clip 7 on driver side and 6 on the passenger side.

Not the best angle for the afters but it sits just around 22.5 from the hub to the fender and 36.75" from ground to fender. Hope it helps. These are just the driver's side. The passenger side (not pictured) actually still sits a quarter higher to this day. Doesn't bother me. Maybe a 7/5 clip setting could fix that. Everyone's mileage may vary though. I just went by the instructions though.

I actually took measurements this past weekend but I can't remember the numbers off the top of my head. But the passenger side is indeed a tad higher since install in February.

I've installed mine at 6/5 (SR5 with third row). Its been about 4k miles since and I'm assuming everything has settled. It sits about 3/8 to 1/2" lower on drivers side. Is it odd to do 7/5? I'm wondering if that'll bring it closer to being even. Also, about same difference in the rear. Ordered ome 10mm spacer for the rear. Part of me tells me to leave it as is....but my OCD side won't let it go.

So I have 700# King springs now in the front but I have them at 5 on the driver's side and 3 on the passenger. Gives me just under 3" of lift. There's maybe 1/8" difference with the passenger side being a bit higher. It definitely brought it closer to even. A 7/6 setting in the past gave me a quarter inch difference at the time.
 
6112s on backorder?

Ordered my 6112s from 4 wheel parts. They're telling me they're on backorder for possibly as long as 6 months. Is anyone else hearing this?

I was told mine may ship on March 9th from a different vendor. I did order mine on Black Friday though so it will have been 3 months or so. Ended up cancelling my 5160 order and am going with 5100's rear and using the new Eibach 1" rear springs and setting fronts to 5/4 (1.85").

I was told April I’ve been waiting since December!! :Cry: I canceled mine and ordered Kong’s the time wasted and money they already collected I could have had my build done! Bolstering should be ashamed of themselves....

I have an order with Wheelers waiting to be filled. They told me end of the month too. I hope so. (fingers crossed)
 
I'm still not sold on running 6112's vs a 2.5" coilover...its not much more cost for a non resi coilover. Any regrets?

My entire setup 6112/5100 and eibach 1' rear springs is running $862. I don't think there is any 2.5" coilover setup that you can find for that cheap. The closest would probably be the Fox 2.0 Aluminum series at about a grand, but you'd still need rear springs as well and they are still only 2" diameter shocks.

The only thing I regret about it is having to tear everything down if I wanted to adjust height. Would have loved Kings, Icons, etc for the easement of height adjustability with simple turns.
Other than that, I enjoy mine. Feels great and handles bumps fairly well.

Yes, I agree...the adjustability is not there. Had to tear down drivers side to adjust to 7 and kept passenger at 5. Lean is now at ~.25".

Kings require you to remove them from the truck to adjust height, Icon doesn't though.

You can get fox, icon, and radflo in non resi 2.5" flavor for about 1k if you get a sale/shop around but yea i see your point. Since thats just the front setup for 1k minimum.

My only actual concern is bending the lower mount on the 6112. since they aren't actual rod ends like the ones found on 2.5" coilovers. But I've yet to see any of you guys bend them so it's really not a real concern lol. I've seen MANY bent 5100's on titans lol.
