Sounds pretty decent. Take some before and after pics

Anybody know what the torque spec is for the top nut?

Did you use the 2.75 or 3.5 setting on the front ?

 

[Jasfish18]

First ring, so lowest setting

Ripped my ball joint boots and was thinking about ucas, since I only got about 2 in.
I might try mevs, but why not just press out old ball joints and replace with moog?
Just wondering everyones thoughts

If you’ve got stocks best bet is to go with an angle correction style. Rough country, zone, icon and a few others sell them. I personally run the zone since they are by far the beefiest looking. Boxed style. If I was going to run another brand the RC brand is cheaper but still angle correcting and probably gives you more clearance from the tire since they use a smaller ball joint than zone.

Rc says for 3in lift, I asked them if it would be OK if I only had 2in of lift, and the associate I was messaging said they were "unsure"

 

[Hammer22801]

I got zone uca’s to go with my lift. I wanted the beefier uca’s over stock

[mention]NickGotExhaust [/mention] I will likely be shooting you a PM soon...

I put the Eibach front springs on with the 5100’s the PO had installed on the truck to offset the sag from my previous front bumper.

My rear shocks and springs appear to be the stockers - with 136k on them! Super weak, and my truck sits way lower than my roommates stock truck with 3k miles that is darn near identically optioned to mine.

Would it be a bad idea to just do the rears, since I already have fairly new front springs and the struts are only a few years old?

Go for it. @crazykid1994 and I did the 5100/Eibach combo and running the Eibach rear setup should match well.

I tagged you in a listing in the for sale section. Worth a look for sure. There's absolutely nothing wrong with doin just the rear.

As for sitting so low, it's gotta be an eco diesel thing, my truck sat a good 1-2" lower than some gas models I compared it to. Never could pin point why for sure.

Good deal. Thanks for the feedback!

Here’s what’s crazy - his is an EcoD too! Saw where you tagged me. Gotta see how much lift the rear Eibach setup would give me. Not really interested in a ton of rake, or major change in ride quality, just don’t want her sagging over 100# in the bed. I drive this beast across country for work assignments, so it needs to be capable and comfy for those 8-12 hour riding days. Going to be adding some timber groves here soon to accommodate a TT down the road.

Those coils should be 1.5" lift. And being variable rate they should ride good. The eibachs are 10% stiffer than oem, and a 1"-1.5" lift. So basically both will ride about the same unloaded, and the ones I tagged you in can handle truck duties a bit better. I was actually gonna buy them, but my shocks are too long for that setup.

I don't get why our trucks sat so low, I have 1.5" rear lift and it's a tolerable rake with 2.5-2.75 front lift. But add some weight and I shoot nose up. Here's how mine sits

Man, I wish mine sat like that! Refresh my memory on tire size?

17x8.5 (or 9" I csnt remember) fuel anza.
-6 offset
315 70 17 Duratracs

Front 6112s maxxed at 2.3 + .5" spacer (spacer is 1/4" thick from R.C) 6112s had sagged to about 2"

Rear Bilstein coils (1/2" lift) + daystar 1" spacer and BDS 3" lift fox 2.0s

I'll be dropping to 285 75s on my next tire just cuz I don't want the width.

That is a very nice setup considering you're running 315s on 17x9s. Being that wide didn't give you any issues? The widest that a tire shop would recommend was 285 for a 17x9 wheel. Thinking of saving some coin (for the Eibach kit) and just get wider tires for my 17x9. Good to see that it can be done.

I’m running a 305 wide on an 18x9. It’s dependent on the tire itself. They are designed for a certain width but have a range outside of that that they’ll fit.
