I would like to have 2 inches of level on my 2025 Lariat with 3.5 eco boost non max tow.
I have read that some people experience "settling" with the 6112 coilover.
The only non factory addition we have is 55 pounds of skid plates.

If the 6112 is installed at the 5th snap ring setting that is supposed to give a 2inch level, how much sag/settling is to be expected? Thanks for your input.

PS if anyone remembers my post about levels and dealer refusal to install, I finally found a dealer that has installed several levels.

Don't be surprised if you end up with more than 2inches at setting 5.. 6112 springs don't seem to sag alot after use

I had the 5100s installed with a 1.5" lift in the front. I think they did a 2" setting instead as the truck is really level now ... anyway, I have not noticed any sagging since I had this done two months ago. Ride is comparable to stock - a bit stiffer, but after breaking in a bit I like how it handles. Braking is different as the front will nose dive a bit more at slower speeds ... if I put anything in the back the truck feels like its heading for take off to outer space - you notice a bit more squat in the rear.

I set them at 2” and it was not perfectly level, but thankfully not high.
I have not noticed any settling. One and one half years. 24 RCSB 4x4.
The factory rake on the regular cab short beds is extreme, I think.

Mine are set at #4 and have been for 2 years with no sag at all. I did initially set them at #5 but the ride was bit harsh for my taste so I had them dropped one clip setting. BTW, the dealership I purchased from did all the work in both cases.
