    Just upgraded to the 6112 and 5160. Thought Id share some pics. Super happy with it. A bit rougher as I have airbags in the back and E rated tires but the leveled look is awesome. Should have done this years ago!

    Looks like the top setting or 2nd from the top. Looks good.

    The reservoir on the rears needs to go on the opposite side of the shock. Driver side should face the front. Passenger side should face the rear.

    Interesting! Is there any safety or performance issues you know of with them being installed this way?

    Contact with the frame, mostly. There’s more movement then you realize in the rear end. Notice how close the hose end is to the bump stop on the frame.
