Eibach Pro Lift Struts

[dalton2425Texas]

from my understanding if you buy the strut with the coils the minimum lift is 2.75", if you don't buy the coils then you have more settings.

Instructions with coils

Instructions without coils
https://eibach.com/us/pdf/14963

@4eyedconekiller JB1 found the instruction with adjustable struts and coils. If you look, it says 2nd ring for replacement bumpers, (extra height needed).

So, since you have the Bilsteins already, you’d order the Eibach Pro Springs, replace the factory springs and adjust the Bils down to the 2nd notch which it says would be 3.5”.. probably would need a 1” rear spacer.

Something to check out.

Thanks OP- Mike19950 and JB1 for this great info on the Eibach..

Just another reason to love RAM forum [emoji1591]

Thanks Dalton! Will definitely look into this!

The third ring is for heavy bumpers. Not sure what lift would be if the truck was all stock.

 

[GIJoe2010]

Second ring on the 5100s in combination with the Eibach (front) springs for ~3.5" of lift sounds like the combo to run then.

 

[4eyedconekiller]

Anyone have the part numbers for just the springs?

 

[mike19950]

Front Struts - E60-27-001-04-10
Front Springs - E30-27-001-02-20
Rear Shocks - E60-27-001-04-01
Rear Springs - E30-27-001-02-02

Whole Kit - E80-27-001-01-22

Just thinking out loud, running the Eibach front springs with Bilstein 5100s (at 2nd notch) with rear 1.5" (lift) Icon springs and (extended) shocks would be the best overall combo. The only possible issue having a little bit of rake with the Icons.

No spacers required on the rear and most of us with levels already own 5100s. Unless you've got worn out 5100s this might fit the best for us . . . might be slightly cheaper too.

Ram1500rsm installed the icons and reported he only gained 1" of actual lift. Most likely due to their soft initial rate, so for their cost you may not truly be gaining much over the eibach rear coils for the cost. They may ride better etc but that's too subjective I feel as most have different preferences. I got paid today and scored enough OT I think I can get the full eibach kit ordered and I'll try and get whatever numbers guys want.

Go for it. I'm curious what the rear lift numbers are compared to OEM height.

Update on my fender measurements. They are 39.25" I was at 40" with the spacers. I lost a little but it's not a big deal. Also including a pic of the upper ball joint. Looks good too.

Interesting, It'll be good to see the measurements that people with Bilstein at 2.1"/2.8" get in the front fenders, it'll clarify all the views around most the level options out there, you said you've got 40" with 2" spacers?, and 39 1/4" with the Eiback setup at 0" lift and 2.75" Eiback springs.

I'd like to put another 1/2" or so in my front, and i thought the Eibach with the 2.75" springs could do that, but they'll be the same as i have right now with my Rancho QL struts, i'll wait to see what people get with the 2.75" springs on the 2nd perch, or maybe this will be the excuse to upgrade my suspension to Radflo 2.5 body coilovers and shocks , so i'll be able to dial my front exactly to what i want just moving the coilover adjuster.

My truck is sitting at 39 1/4" with the Rancho QL struts at the moment, i took measurements stock, and after changes, i checked again today just for the sake of seeing where i was after the last couple of months, the struts haven't moved at all since the last time i took measurments


Stock height/stock 20" wheels/tires
front fender: 36 1/8
rear fender: 39 1/4

After Rancho QL and Falken 315/70/17
front fender 39 5/8
rear fender 40 1/8

After Rancho QL and Falken 315/70/17 (front settled in)
front fender 39 1/4
rear fender 40 1/8

After Icon 1.5" Coil Springs (settled in, 100lbs full 315 spare relocated to the bed)
Rear 41 1/8

I run the rough country 3” kit, I want to yank the spacer and drop this kit in. Should work out nice since I have the rough country UCA”s. Also have a 1” spacer in the rear.

My full eibach kit is on its way, gotta get some new strut mounts and pieces so I'm waiting to get the coils in hand to bring along and test for top hat fitment with the larger coils. Fingers crossed I'll have it this week and weather depending I'll get it installed next weekend. Pretty sure I have a blown strut, I get a sucking noise in the morning like a screen door shock now, and this 70s caddy cheech and chong swag rolling down the highway is getting old.

Did you get the 15%off deal they are running? Im getting the rest of mine for Christmas. The fronts rode awesome on our road trip last week. We were 30 mins from home yesterday and got rear ended. Hopefully won't be in the shop too long.

Dang man, that's a terrible way to end a holiday. Hope everyone is alright. Look like bumper and tailgate mainly?? No lower quarter or frame damage I hope. I got the kit for a great price, 575$ shipped. Was set to use nick over at got exhaust and a local to me place had it for the same price, so I jumped on simply for shipping and supporting local guys. Scooped some 285s used for 200 on FB market, cover craft seat covers on the way. Gotta love black Friday. Hopefully I can get this stuff plugged in on my driveway when it gets in.

We are all fine thank God. The Ford focus that hit us not so much. Totalled I'm sure. The lady driving was uninjured too.

Sounds like a nice bf haul. Can't wait to see some pics.

That's what matters, metal is repairable, unfortunate none the less. Its coming together, albeit slowly. Couple gift cards, used deals and patience should get a good start point. Id love to get more fancy and off-road minded, but function first and this truck pulls Dd and work duty first and foremost so I kept tires smaller and suspension mild.

Wow, glad your ok

Apparently you could leave the Bils and just add the Eibach front springs!

Why did no one mention this to me???
Took 2 days of searching to find a cure to my sagged front factory springs! Finally a cure for my problem!!! Ordering these early next month!!!

Will that add more front lift? If my bils are at 2.8 and add those springs....

From what I’ve been reading, it will. I’m going to pick up a set from @Nick@GotExhaust and see if I can’t fix the sag my front bumper caused, even with my Bilsteins.
