I look forward to seeing a bone stock truck add this Eibach front/rear kit set to 3.5” with the 1” rear coils
I was hoping someone did it before I bought mine. A couple people bought just the strut without the spring. I’m curious too

You can either do the 2.5” coil springs or move the direction I’m going with a zone 5” coil spring with a 1.5” spacer.

The procomp 6” lifts the rear 4.5” with the lower spacer, I have a set of the brackets in the garage that came with my brackets. I wonder if you could use those brackets with just the ICON 1.5” coils but that might not be enough lol

Glad to see the eibach coils are good. I'm planning on getting them and the struts to replace the strut spacers that were installed on my truck before I bought it.

Me too!

This kit is very intriguing to me. Thank you, OP, for trying out their front strut/coil combo and posting about it. Please keep this thread up to date with how it progresses.

Eibach also makes the 1" lift rear coil spring for the guys that are running bilstiens and want the extra lift in the rear $160 for the pair part #E30-27-001-02-02 close to being half price of the icon 1.5"
Once the rain finally stops in PA (It has literally rained almost every weekend) I will make a video of my set-up and the issues I found with the Zone lift instructions that @JB1 helped me out on. Hopefully I can help a lot of people out that have questions because I had a million questions and the answers seemed to be pretty spread out. The minor details are what got me

B8FDED7E-BBA8-4F31-86A7-03FC31175AD6.jpeg I added TGC 1.5” rear coil spacers to my Zone 5” coils. They are very nice quality and the fit was better than expected. Currently I’m 1” high in the rear which I anticipate it to settle a 1/2” leaving me a 1/2” rake.

Yes they were long enough. I have the zone shocks that came with my kit so I can’t speak for other shocks. I was able to install the bolts back in them while the rear was still prettt low. I’m not sure how to measure for travel length.

The rear sway bar links are not long enough though. I was able to bolt it back into place but the angle is close to 45 degrees. I’m pretty sure the rear swaybar is supposed to be flat so I’m going to make new ones

I also want to move the links to the inside of the top bracket. I’m not sure if that makes any difference at all.

Yes the stock links are too short in the kit at 15”, procomps are 17” which is correct for 5” rear but you might need 18” lol

I will measure what I come up with. I think the easiest it to extend by cutting and sliding each side into a pipe with the same id. But I do have access to a full machine shop so I may end up making adjustable ones.
