IMO coilovers are for serious off road trucks or show trucks. Seems like over kill for a daily driver. 

I've been thinking the same thing. However, I like the idea of coilovers for my truck (90% street, occasional dirt roads) if I can get the truck leveled and run 33 x 11's on my stock 18" wheels without worrying about the front end geometry or rubbing. My truck is a late 15 build, so I have the best shot at not switching UCA's from what I've read here.

 

So, I'll wait until some guys have actually installed the 6112's and see how that goes.

Hell yeah.  Go for it.  Theyre definitely the best option for sure

I have the same questions with 20 inch stock rims with 275/60R20 K02 but have the stamped steel UCAs

These are coil-overs. What other set of coil-overs can you get for $800? Last time I check the cheapest Fox set 2.0's that I could find were $1000 and if you wanted to step up to King's you are talking 2000 beans minimum. 

If the 6112s are considered coilover than so are the Eibachs. For $586 out the door at Autoanything you get struts, springs, and shocks for a 2.5” lift or more.

Yeah yeah they are skinnier than the 6112’s but for my drive to my sons preschool, Chicago rush hour, and 2 months of occasional off-road for hunting, they work great.

So many options all depends on how you really use your truck. No one size fits all.

That’s probably pretty obvious when I tell people I have a 2.25 RC level lol.

Haha same. I have run levels on my last 2 personal trucks. Always dealer installed when new. I helped my brother install the 2.5RC kit on his F150. While tightening the spacer on the strut the plastic puck cracked and we had to get a new one from RC. We were hand-tightening the studs down with a standard length wrench so I have a hard time believing we over-torqued it. Then when we had it all back together we noticed there is only 1/8" space between the UCA and strut spring when the suspension is unloaded and immense force on the UBJ. Probably the most sketchy set up I have ever seen and I will never purchase a level kit again after doing that install.

 

 I am running a 33x12.5 on stock 20's with a level. Slight rub on UCA/Swaybar only because of +27mm offset, if I had a 1/8 or 1/4" wheel spacer, the rub would be eliminated. Factory UCA's and running mudflaps

For someone who does ZERO offroading, would a coil over be smoother on the highway? At MAX height plus a spacer would the ride be smoother then a 5100? are Springs included on a coilover? It seems like it might be cheaper to purchase coilovers with springs preinstalled then pay to have someone remove the springs off factory struts and onto 5100s?

Just driving along, the ride will be just ever so slightly smoother than the 5100 (negligible), but when you hit a pothole, speedbump, road imperfection etc it will be easily noticeable that the larger diameter 6112 does not have to work as hard to compensate for the bump. Its able to spread the work load out over a larger shock piston and does not have to travel as much to absorb the impact.

We charge $100 to assemble shocks normally, a mechanic should be able to install these for the same cost as he would coilovers.

Ordered the 6112's and a couple 5160's for the rear.

 

My local guys were shocked at the price you offered. Gave me their labor rate though. 

 

Appreciate the forum support.

When you assemble the 6112 do you have to reuse the rubber boot over the shaft?  Or can that part be left off for a more traditional coil over look?

Got these on today. Look great! Improvement over stock ride. Smoother. Less body roll. Just feels all around much better. Thanks again.
