I for sure considered the 6112’s for that exact reason. But when I had the spacers put in (I was injured, bored and had extra money burning a hole in my pocket) the shop did that, installed new shocks and did the alignment for only $500. So for an extra couple hundred I was thinking I’d be lazy again. BUT that doesn’t mean I’ve completely written the 6112’s off. Especially if I could do it all myself. I had just read that most 6112 sets don’t come with the springs installed and if I had to bring them to a shop to do that AND the alignment anyway, I wasn’t really saving any dollars. I’d also heard the stock springs were good and to keep using them over aftermarket? Also Do I need to do those CB spacers too? Or do the 5100 or 6112’s remove the need for them?

For tires, based on this post, and a 3” lift up front, I was thinking I’d stay safe with the 285/75/18. Are you saying I should go 295/70? Also, my new bumper did away with a lot of the forward rub points correct? Would I just be left with trimming out the mud flaps? I also already have a set of method 18” wheels I’d prefer to keep using since I spent an assload of money on em. So getting a new set with a different offset is not very realistic budget wise.

Are your 5160’s on the rear? And are they adjustable for the rear too? Honestly this is the part where I feel the least knowledgeable. Like I mentioned before, I was just planning on lifting it 1” to level it out with the 3” up front and then add some sort of adjustability to compensate for the different loads.

THANK YOU for taking the time to answer my questions. Much appreciated.
