Different shocks front and rear.

[NOV87]

So, I leveled the truck with Rough Country 2" leveling coilovers. It looks slightly nose high. I decided to lift rear with Eibach 1" lift springs and RC 0-3" shocks. The shocks were on a backorder till mid May, now that's been pushed to June...
My question is, should I wait or order Eibach rear shocks (avail immediately)? Will I see any adverse effects from using differently valved shocks between front and rear?
Also, on Eibach website it says to only use Eibach springs with their own shocks. I don't think that will make any difference at all. But you never know.

I think you would be just fine with the eibach shocks. Maybe even better off.


They are most likely “tuned” for the springs better than the rc units would be. Just because you would have a different brand front to rear, doesn't mean they are not “valved together”...they would be different anyway.

You'll have zero adverse effects running different shocks in the rear. Unless you went with shocks valved for 600 lbs/inch springs in the back you are not going to notice much/anything asides from the color of the shock or stickers in them unless you went with better shocks a little more expensive For example Fox 2.0, Icon 2.0, CST 2.0 (you'll need a 1" spacer on top of the eibach springs to run the CST 2.0's, they're 28 1/4" long)
Have fun.
