6112 Setting and Tire/Wheel Combo Thread.

I probably should have added that in the post. #3 clip (1.9")

 

Nice! I’m doing the same setup. Glad I will have that look. Thanks!

 

Has anyone got pics sitting on 285/70/r18? Been searching trying to see what it looks. Just got a 2017 crew cab in quicksand.
Time to sell the 1st Gen!

 

@AKMI I somehow looked rt past your post…that’s exactly what I was wanting to see. What clip did you run your 6112’s on?
Since those tires (285/70/r16) are 10lbs. lighter a piece than the 295/70/16 that most seem to be running I was wondering if you noticed much difference from your stock setup? Acceleration, mpg?

 

I'm running 285/70/18 on my truck. Clips at #3 (1.9"). So far I have used 3/4 of a tank. Getting 13.5 mpg. I can tell the gas pedal is little bit sluggish. But at the end of the day she's a truck not a race car. I don't mind it at all. If you want to hit it hard put her in tow mode. I will say the suspension is amazing.

 

Tune it and the sluggish feel will be gone! I did KDMAX.

 

@therealjonwick what all is entailed in the tune? I went on their site but just says they’ve been acquired by yotaworkz.

 

Ah I didn’t know that. Must be a recent development. I started when I had my Tacoma. The tune revolutionized that engine. Doesn’t do as much for the tundra. Did improve throttle lag. Has 3 settings for throttle. It also beefs up the tow mode. Better mapping. Also is octane learning so you can run 87+ and it will work it out. Also opens up for more add-ons down the road. I’ll have to reach out to Dave on Tacoma world and see what’s up with the buyout.

 

@memario1214 Any help appreciated! Also, these are thoughts in my head now on paper.

I have 38k on my current set of tires and looking to upgrade in stages as I buy new rubber. I was thinking of adding the lift now and buying the wheels/tire setup when time comes due. Based on what I gathered from this thread below, am I on the right path?

Needs: DD and I look to tow a TT (~5-6k lbs.) in the next year or so for family vacations, that info should be helpful. Also not looking to level, rake is ok because of future towing.

Current:
-Stock suspension
-20" OE wheels
-KO2 275/65/20. Larger(taller) than stock but too skinny for my liking so I was gearing toward 285 being a DD.

Suspension kit desired:
-Order now to pair with current wheels/tires (step 1 in a sense)
-6112/5160, 1.9", assembled.

-Coachbuilder Strut (x1) .50" of lift to FL tire.
https://shop-coachbuilder.myshopify...ilder-strut-coilover-shim-provides-50-of-lift

-Coachbuilder +2 Shackle. is this needed? (some rake is ok, towing in the future)
https://shop-coachbuilder.myshopify...ilder-2-shackles-provides-1-25-of-actual-lift
-Edit: or do I consider the RAS system (or both), @RobertD had the suggestion.

Wheel/Tire desired:
-Order when KO2 rubber is worn out (step 2)
-SCS Ray 10 18x9 +25mm 5x150
https://www.stealthcustomseries.com/collections/toyota/products/ray10?variant=26571894083
-Wildpeak A/T4W, size is where I am stuck. Not looking to do any modifications, have an RCI Skid (no rub) there.
-Considering: 285/75/18 or 295/70/18, due to E rating (towing). I wish the 285/70/18 was E rated, I would likely go with that.

 

How heavy is the TT? If you aren't off roading a lot, you might be fine with 5100 in the rear. Have you considered adding the RAS to the rear as well?

 

Thanks for the quick reply and very patient, so feel free to message when you can and enjoy your trip!

I was considering that being an option as well, almost included it in my post. I would venture to say no more than ~5-6k lbs., maybe lighter depending on brand/need, haven't done a great deal of research yet but nothing over the top.

 

Will most likely have to modify with both those tire sizes. Maybe less with adjustable control arms. Remove mud-flaps, some trimming. If you want to do minimal modifications go 285/70/18. But 295 do look perfect. Some have had to do BMC.

 

Maybe plausible with the +25 wheel? However, I am completely open to suggestions with what I'm looking to achieve (which is nothing crazy).

BMC, neverrary.

Edit: unless guided differently, probably what I'll end up with based on what I've been reading: 295/70/18.

 

Scrolled thru the whole thread but could find info if i need diff drop for 6112 top setting (with 0.5 shim driver side) and 5160 rear

 

thanks for quick reply. i've read yesterday on FB that some ppl experience driveshaft vibration on higher speed after more than 2.5-3 onch lift

 

2016 with some new muscles.
6112’s at top clip, SPC UCA’s. 5100’s and just a fab tech 1” block in rear. Hoping to upgrade to shackles or maybe even a leaf kit in. Future. Currently sitting on some Toyo R/T 285/65s that have run the test of time lol upgrading soon. Love the stock look

 

Hi Everyone, I’m in need of help! I finally purchased the 6112s + 5100 after researching for a year (also just saving up). Going to be installing them this weekend!

The 6112s are set at 2.5” (4th clip) and the 5100s are stock height. Also purchased .25” shim for front driver side to accommodate the lean. I need help determining the largest tires that will fit without any rubbing/body mount chop. I purchased SSW Dakars (17x9.0 +0 offset) and don’t know exact tire dimensions that will work. After looking through the 70+ pages, I’m pretty sure 34s will work but a lot of the wheels were 18s and have diff dimensions than the 17s I’ll be getting. Any help determining the largest tire size without any problems will be appreciated!

 

Another place to look.

Couple weeks away from getting my lift installed. Shout out to @memario1214 at hotshot for hooking me up and answering my millions of questions. Currently doing 6112’s at 3rd clip (1.9) with 2 driver shims and 1 passenger. Zone off-road UCA and CB+3 rear shackles. Question for the thread: anyone regret not going to the top clip 2.5 who did 1.9? Or vice versa. Cannot decide which one to go with. I know it’s only a 0.5” in difference. Probably doesn’t matter much. But wanted to see what folks thought.

 

The whole point of 1.9 is for alignment without UCA…

 

On my "old" '20 Tundra, I had Bilstein 6112 on the 2.5" clip, two CB shims driver side, one passenger side, Bilstein UCA. I was topping out a lot. Like, A LOT. Off-roading, of course. In the street it was fine. I'd keep it at 1.9", and maybe you won't have the same issue.

 

Some new 275/70 Toyo R/Ts and some dirt this weekend. Loving the suspension set up so far

 

I have a 2015 Tundra Crewmax 4x4. I don’t go off-road but I haul the occasional lumber, oil barrels, trailer, etc. I currently have a spacer in the front and blocks in the back. The UCA’s are stock. What setting of the 6112’s should I go with to keep my current stance in the truck.

 

depends how much your spacer is giving you

 

I think it is 2.5 in the front and 2 in the back

 

probably recommend #3 at 1.9" in the front with 2/1 CB spacers. a lot of people have reported a better ride there versus at #4/2.5"

what are you plans for the rear?
