    I recently replaced my stock coilovers on my 2008 tundra. I installed bilstein 6112 2.5" in the front and the rear 5100 shocks. Looks like the rear looks like has lower than the front on the truck. I want the truck to be level look. Due I need to put 1" shackles in the rear to make it level with the 6112 2.5" lift in the front?

    Contact @Coachbuilder1 or google Ekstrom design. Give him a call and he will ensure you get the rear where you want it to be. He deals with all of us with the 6112 fronts that want some form of level or higher rear. I have his shackles in the rear. Other popular options are to contact Toytec as well.

    Check out Pro Form Fabrication shackles. You won't regret it and neither will your wallet.

    I'd go with Toytec shackles on the 1" setting.
    If that isn't high enough, use the 1.5" setting.
    But the 1" should make it level. 2 settings in one shackle.
    I've been running them with my 6112s for 4 years..

    This was with the stock shackles.
    Pretty much level.

    With the Toytecs on the 1" setting.
    Gave me a little rake back that I wanted.

    My truck looks like yours with the stock shackles in the first picture. 1" in the rear shackles look great with little rake. That's what hopping to get. Thank you Sir. Good looking Truck Thank You .
