Axle position. ICON vs Rough Country N3 & Bilstein 5100 vs Rough Country N3. Some may want this info, some not. Maybe important, maybe not. But I had the pics and wanted to share/help someone.
*Angle of N3 aren't the same. When driveway dries. I'll get another pic and update. But the pics of axle looks close to ICONs.

Bilstein were set at 1.4" lift in this pic.
ICON were set at factory at 2.5"
Rough Country N3 showed same lift as ICON, so their at 2.5" also.

Eibach advertises 2.25" coils. How did you get 3"? Spacer? Another question is why are some straight and some not? I assume its based on lift height and tire size? Wanting to learn.

Yup. They used to list them at 2.75” to 3.5” which turned out not true in all cases. Trucks with raised ride height received less lift. If you have the raised ride height You will actually receive 2” of lift at the 0 setting and 3” of lift at the 2 setting. The struts are adjustable. I’m actually running the bilstein 5100 strut with the eibach spring. Eibach offers the adjustable struts as well.

I had the Eibach (springs and strut) on in the past. Never got any pics. The ride was odd. Even mechanic said the same. But, I heard the Goldilocks is the Bilstein with Eibach springs.
