Eibach Lift struts

[hunterdan]

I'm looking at replacing my front struts and have really liked what I've heard about the eibachs. That said, I'm currently running rough country 2" n3 lift struts that according to my measurements, have sagged out. Is there any reason why I can't run these assembled struts, even though they are listed as being for the eco diesel? I called eibach and they said they wouldn't work because the springs are different shapes. However, I don't believe the strut mounts are different and any 4th Gen strut should bolt right in. My guess is the spring rates might be stiffer, but I can't believe it'll be much. So, is there any reason why anyone would think these wouldn't work and ride decent on a crewcab 5.7?

To my knowledge they should bolt up. But, why not just get shocks for the hemi?

Reach out to @Nick@GotExhaust - he's a great supporter here and vendor, too.

He'll sort you out!

However, I do recommend that you also replace the rear shocks with whatever new brand you get for the fronts so you have a full matching set of suspension bits.

They’ll bolt right up but will be a heavier spring rate and won’t ride very good. Unless you have a heavy bumper, winch, etc on the front of your truck, then they might be ideal for you.

Ended up going with a set of 5100s. Have already replaced the rear shocks over the summer.
