I just recently installed the Eibach's on my 2017 1500 - front and rear, used the stock springs on the middle location, with a daystar 1" spacer in the rear. Previously I installed TuffTruck 1211 springs in the back. I retained those.
I kept the stock front springs hoping to keep the same spring balance front to rear that I had prior to the Eibacks, for towing purposes.
At the same time I put some 275/65R20 all terrains on the truck. Prior to the tires I was very close to the expected heights, about 1/1/2" front, just a pinch over 1" in the back, maybe 1 1/4". Add right at 3/4" to all heights with the taller tires.
The truck certainly feels different, I can't say that I am sophisticated enough truck wise to even put a proper description to how it now feels but one thing that I noticed right away was reaction to speed bumps and potholes seems to be less harsh - smoother than prior. Overall, definitely a smoother, more solid feel.
I have barely driven the truck, and have not towed yet with it so I'll know more later, but it seems at this point like a very worthwhile change, for my needs anyway.
