Finally pulled the trigger today. Looked for a while after I bought truck in August of '19 and just put it off. Looks like I got basically 2.6" at circlip #8. Ground to fender before was 36 3/16". After install is 38 13/16". Front is currently 11/16" higher than rear and I'm sure it will settle from what I've read. May change rear springs and do the 5160's but I want to see where they do settle at. I have a long commute every day so shouldn't take long for them to. I also pull a couple boats so I'll be checking that out too. The plan is to get 35x12.50x20 Toyo AT3's and flush them with fender or maybe a 1/2" of poke. No More. Keeping the stock wheels. Hope this helps anyone that had all the questions I had.

Photo taken yesterday after getting home from work. 6112’s done on Monday. Top pic had about 5 miles on them. Bottom has about 170 miles on them. Settled a lil bit. Forgot to write down measurements. Ordered ORP for rear. May not use. Setting #8. They ride great so far.

Installed my ORP Rear springs today. On the bench they measured exactly 1.5” taller than my Non-ORP Rear Springs that also had 39,770 miles on them. Currently the fender to ground measurement, after about 15 miles is 39 5/8” for the rear and 38 5/8” for the front which is 6112’s @ #8.

Looks great. Where did you order the ORP springs from?

I have been trying to research, but this must mean that factory non-ORP shocks can be used with ORP springs without issue? Was thinking about Icons but I think these will fit my needs if I can do it without shocks, for now at least.
Thanks!

I ordered from moparoneonline.com


I do plan to order the 5100’s for the rear. I’ve put about 40+ miles on the stock non-ORP rear shocks since the install. No difference from what I can tell whatsoever. If in fact they wear out quicker because of the extra inch, I won’t be disappointed. They already have 39K on them. This truck doesn’t see off-road. I did that for 25 years traveling with Jeep’s. The CJ-7 variant. Just the occasional less than standard boat landing. Lol. Still though, for $21.72 per spring, kinda was a no brainer. Especially since from what Steve at Timber Grove tells me about the bags with 5-7 psi adding a little height to the stance. I didn’t want any taller of a spring. Do not want to be back to the 2.5” rake.

Wait you mean to tell me ORP springs are only 21.00 each?

Did you ever put your tires on? What does it look like with 35s?

Little update. Put on a set of Ridge Grapplers LT295/65/R20 (35.12x11.77) yesterday. Haven't put but a few miles on them so far. Should see 320 miles in the next 4 days with the work commute. Bilstein 6112's at #8 up front and ORP Springs in the rear. About 19K miles on the Bilsteins and ORP Springs.

Looks awesome, exactly what I want to do, how's the ride quality and fuel economy compared to stock? Noticeably different?

I've only driven it maybe 10 miles max since I left the tire shop. I'll get about 80 miles on them tomorrow with my roundtrip commute.

Been a few months since the post was commented on. Wanted to see how you were liking the ride compared to stock? Any issues with rubbing on that tire setup? I just purchased the 6112’s with carli rear springs. Debating on #7 or #8 setting.

looks good!

I have a 2” level up front and the 1” ORP out back as well.

Only chose 295/60R20 and I have a 1/4” spacer. I have a Laramie sport with the same wheels. Fwiw

Looks nice. Can you tell any difference in ride quality?
