I know the 6112s are semi-new to the community. My question is what would be the lowest possible notch I can install these and still have enough clearance to fit 275X 65R 20 KO2s. I’d imagine the notch settings are similar to the 5100s accept there is 1 extra notch I believe. I have been searching online for the past week and cannot find anyone that confirms the lowest possible setting to fit these tires. I know I can install them at the highest setting and fit just fine, But I am trying to keep rake in the rear due to occasional towing and i do not want to add a leveling block to the rears. I was thinking the third notch (1.25” of lift) would work but I’m not sure if It will get rubbing. Does anyone have any idea on this? I currently have a 2.5 inch leveling spacer but do not want to install it when I switch to the Bilstein 6112s. Thanks! -
Hi My son just got a new (for him) 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD. It has 275/60R20 tires on it. Looks like the stock size would have been 245/75R16. We think the speedometer may never have been recalibrated to account for this. To address this would we need to have it done via a programmer, change a speedometer cable gear or would the gear ratio in the rear end need to be changed (stock is 4.10, from calculators looks like it should be 4.44 and pricey). Or am I mixing some apples and oranges here and gear ratio has nothing to do with that and, if so, what would the benefit to changing (or detriment if left as is) be to changing that. I'm also assuming that if the speedometer was never recalibrator, the odometer is likely off. Thanks much for the education.
