    Going with bilstein 6112 front 5160 rear.
    I need help with figuring out what springs and size lift I should go with I'm going to be using it as a daily but also for overland camping going to be taking off RTT off when I don't use it.

    Welcome 6112/5160 is a solid setup. I'd go with the standard 6112 spring which I believe are 600lb.

    How much weight do you think you'll have on top at the heaviest moment

    I went with 6112's set at clip 6 on the driver's side and clip 4 on the passenger side. Gave me about 2" of lift. For the rear, I went with the T13 rear spring. About 12% stiffer than stock. Got about 1 1/2" of lift. Dropped about 1/4" when I added a rear box with drawers. Sits pretty level with tools and gear in the drawers.

    Thanks for the info. About how much weight do you approximate you have on the rear?
    Also did you add aftermarket bump stops to it?

    Probably 200ish. The box with drawers is about 120ish and the rest I'm guessing about 60-80. More on road trips with a cooler and dogs, and luggage. I put on the Lexus rear bump stops. Because of my RR crossing jump I'm going to get some Sumo stops eventually.
