Eibach Level Truck Currently Has Old Tired Springs

[Snowhunter]

I've been reading and rereading threads on leveling and the Eibach Pro Stage 1 for what seems like forever. I haven't found anything that addresses my question....

I have a 2015 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman CC 5.7L. It has around 236,000 miles. The truck is in great shape and was well taken care of before I bought it two years ago. The ride is still comfortable and quiet but I feel like it's not as good as it was when I got it. I also have a new set of Nokian Outpost nATs (285/75R17) and Raceline Avenger Wheels 17x9 that I am going to put on. I will be getting the Eibach kit but what I am wondering is how much lift I will see in front. I see people talking about starting at 36 1/2" or more before their lift. Even though I currently have worn Falken A/T3s (285/70R17) and the Outdoorsman (which is supposed to be .7" higher), I'm only measuring 35 1/2" in the front. I'm assuming that this is due to the springs being old and tired. With this being the case can I expect even more lift than people are typically seeing (2" on the lowest setting, 2 1/2"+ on the next notch)?? I'm just trying to figure out which setting to use (I will also be getting Zone control arms).

Thanks for any thoughts and advice.

actual height of trucks will vary depending on actual weight with options, accessories, modifications, etc...The Outdoorsman is not any taller than any other 1500. Rebels, Warlocks, and newer trucks with the off road package are taller from the factory.


If you are doing the full kit, front and rear I wouldnt over think it. Are you planning to level it?

FYI we offer Eibach and Zone. If you would like a quote send me a message

Level is the goal. Was just looking for confirmation that my springs might be sagging and what setting to go for if they are. (I will be replacing the springs). I don't want to end up nose high. (I'm getting ahead of myself as I don't even have the kit yet but planning and prep are huge to me).

install them go for a drive to settle them and see how you like it.. WOrst case you have to readjust. People's idea of level seem to differ, i put a 1.5 level in my truck and it to me sits perfectly level

I have my 2015 leveled, the front is 3/4” lower but our hoods sit higher than the bed, so a “true” level will look nose high.

Looks good! What kit? What settings?

Leveled with thuren/kings & 1.5” icons in the rear, sits a little higher because I have a 1.5” body lift, not real popular on this forum but I haven’t had any issues with it.
The bl has caused my go-to mechanic Quick-Shifter @ak_trucks_pa some challenges when doing upgrades, but nothing he can’t overcome.
