How many inches additional lift do the eibach pro rear springs provide?
They are advertised as 1 inch. So far that's what I'm seeing. I'm gonna remeasure them since I've been driving on them for a month.

I’m still looking forward to someone trying these set at the 3.5” setting. My bilsteins at 2.8” ride like **** on the concrete highways over all the expansion joints in the road.

Waiting for the same. Nick has them all priced out for me and I'm ready to buy once theres a sun at the end of the tunnel of white powdery crap we have on the ground right now. I want to do 3.5 in the front to go w the rear 2 inch spacers for right now. Hopefully someone who has them gives it a shot so I know what to expect!

FINALLY got the Eibach Pro Lift springs installed... truck finally sits ALMOST level. Not gonna lie, it’s a copy/paste from my other thread [emoji23]

Started on the driver’s side to find out that the previous owner didn’t really pay attention when he installed the struts:

-Bottom strut bolt on drivers side with roughly 1/8” thread still showing between the but and strut body [emoji15]

-out with the old... Buddy of mine lent me his F150, to make sure I could make trips back and forth till I got finished. Had to put the ‘Stang outside to make room in the garage.

-In with the new!

Set at 3rd notch, and got me much closer to level:
LF: 38.5
LR: 38.5
RF: 38 5/8
RR: 39

I was worried I’d be adding a spacer to get the rear back up, but it appears that it won’t be an issue.

Obligatory CV/control arm angle pics - it’s been raining here, not a leaking truck, lol.

Weak strut/shock for the difference L/R??? What do you guys think?

That’s great, you may be the first to use those coils in combination with the Bilsteins. So if coils are good for 2.75” lift and your on the 3rd notch for 1.4” lift you now have 4.15” front lift?

Well, if I didn’t have a huge bumper on the front, maybe. It was good for roughly 1.5-2” Lift. Set it to third notch per eibach’s instructions, and I’m glad I did. Otherwise, I’d have been one unhappy camper, lol

Looks great! What did you use to compress the Eibach springs? I didnt feel like the standard rental/cheapo compressors would handle them. I took mine to a shop and used their wall mounted compressor.

I used a rental, but had to work it pretty hard. A lot harder than o probably should have, lol.

How does it ride now? My 5100s at notch 4 were meh, but serviceable on the our gravel roads. Now that the frontier is on there it's sagging for sure and rides like complete garbage. The devil on my shoulder really want's King's with custom springs to solve for that, but my fiscally responsible side would rather see me put that money in my brokerage account.

I have a Frontier myself. Ride is actually better after the spring swap. I noticed it, but not sure of the rest of the fam. My E load toyos are the part that made it rough. Going to continue to try changing air pressures to help with that

So, I’m just thinking out loud here...I bought my truck used and the previous owner had already leveled the truck (assuming with spacers) in the front, so I’m not sure what my stock height numbers are. I’m seriously looking at getting the full Eibach lift coil/shock setup and setting the fronts at the 3.5 setting. With the rear coils supposedly lifting the rear 1 inch, what size rear spacer would I need to keep the truck level? .5 inch? .75 inch?

Lift the front, measure the difference, than get the rear spacer. I'd assume its at least a 1.5 spacer, but that's a wild guess as each truck is different. If you don't mind being nose high for a few days that's what id do to get an accurate measurement.

You could also get the Superlift coils p/n 02-140, they claim 2” lift.

Since this seemed to be the most economical option to account for the bumper with new springs rather than a ****load of pre-load I decided to go for the full kit. I also figured I'd get the best results with the eibach valving over re-using my beat up 5100s and it wasn't much more than just buying both sets of springs at retail thanks to Nick. I imagine with my toolbox/rack/rear bumper the rear eibach springs won't give me the 1" of lift, but I can re-use the 3/4" spacers I currently have on my 1211's if needed.
