Eibach Pro Lift Struts

[crazykid1994]

Crazy Kid,
I JUST finished mine complete Eibach Stage 1 install and got the front aligned yesterday...
The rear shocks & springs got me 1-1/8" lift over the stock...
I took tons of measurements and pics when I did mine and I planned on doing a complete write-up about it...
Stay tuned for more Roller Derby...

What did the front get you? Was it a full 2.75”

I have my Eibach kit set at 2.75 with Eibach spring. Mine was installed last month. Bought the kit at the beginning of October. 295/60/20 is tire size.

Any chance you have your stock measurements. Your height is the same as mine plus a 1/4” for your tires. Doesn’t seem like you got 2.75” either

I just picked mine up from the shop. I had them set to the second rung from the bottom for 3.5 inches.

I took some quick measurements but will double check again tomorrow. I think with tires factored in I didn't get the full 3.5, but close

Front

• Before - 36.5 (with stock 265/60/20)
• After - 40.25 (285/65/20)

Back

• Before - didn't think to measure
• After - 40.5

They really do ride nice though. CV angle isn't bad at all. Can post a quick picture later

Maybe the CV angles are a little severe?

looking at these pics i'm glad i have set at 2.75. At 3.75 that axle is a bit of an angle.

Did you install your tires before or after? Because now you’re at 38.75 with bigger tires. Looks like you only received 2” as well.

Yeah that is much better. I'm not sure if mine will cause issues. I probably should drop it down. It just looks great with the current setup.

Not necessarily. Check your down travel numbers. And while it's jacked up spin the tire. You'll feel the cv if it's binding. The eibach isn't much if any longer than oem so you should be alright.

Just don't rock the gas in 4wd with the tires turned to lock and you will be ok

Ok that makes sense. I'll have to find some time tomorrow or this weekend to check the down travel.

And for anyone on the fence or thinking about picking up a set, these really have been much better than the stock set up. I've only put maybe 50 miles on them but it's been night and day.

I have to agree. The stock springs in my bils vs the eibach is very different. Feels a lot smoother and less stiff. Very pleased with the feel of them

I'm running a risky setup with my 6112s + a small spacer. My down travel is almost 4" and I'm at 2.5" of lift. Aside from my cv boot hitting a few things SLIGHTLY I have no issues.

Granted you are riding towards the top of your range of travel so you'll have some steeper angles you should be ok.

Just to give ya that warm fuzzy feeling.

Much less preload will make for a much nicer ride. If eibach had their **** together I'd have this kit on my truck. But they suck so I franksteined my own.

Even with only getting the 2” of lift I’m honestly very happy with the ride quality. It’s very soft and plush. Not like you’d expect from a truck. Rear springs go in tomorrow. Running bils shocks in the rear already and wow did that change the suspension feel up as well. I was surprised how much just changing shocks made the truck feel. Talked to my shop and they said they will look at pulling my struts and setting them up a notch for me while they have it up on the lift for tires Saturday. Hopefully it doesn’t kill my ride to much. Hoping to be close to 3” when they set them.

truck was stock drop off at shop got everything installed at 1 time.

 

[Ecofx86]

eibach can give u higher than 2 inches if you set them for the 3.5 setting with the spring( thats not saying your going to get full 3.5 but it will be higher than 2 inches). The 2.75 is only giving a 2 inch increase but the ride quality is worth it. The truck is leveled, ride quality increase, mission accomplished.

I also only got 2" and 1.5" in the rear. Unknown to me there was already a 2.5" Daystar spacer lift in that the previous own installed, so I didnt achieve any more lift.
I think that 2.75" is best case scenario, like SCSB with a V6 and empty fuel tank lol.
Over all tho the ride is awsome

 

[crazykid1994]

Finished product. Front set to second notch got me to 2.75” of lift which is perfect. Rear got me 1.25” of lift. Awesome. Truck sits with 1” of rake now. I’m super happy with that. Got 305/70r18 Mickey Thompson atz p3 tires on Mickey Thompson mm-164b 18x9 with -12 offset rims. Total ground to fender is 41.5” rear and 40.5” front.

Looks awesome!
