Eibach PRO-TRUCK-LIFT Stage 2 coilover and rear shocks

[Shane150]

First off, the ride is less bouncy but I am still running the standard tires and I am getting 1.5" of lift. Plan to change to LT tires which I think will firm up the ride. I completely went a different route than the instructions which was provided by Eibach. Mainly, I removed the lower control arm form the frame instead of removing the upper control arm from knuckle. I simply didn't want to overextend the driveshaft. For me the rear shocks proved to be a bit difficult as it was a real ***** to compress them! Unlike Fox or Bilstein, Eibach is not strapped and is in full extended form!! Not the most desirable form for a garage worrier! I also replaced camber/caster oem nut with the Eibach one. Today I took the truck for alignment and while I was there, I came across a brand I used to admire.

Wow only 1.5" of lift? That makes me think I should adjust my perches to max lift (I have a new kit that I have yet to install). Or maybe install Tremor knuckles. I have the long wheelbase PB.

I did the level, was 2.5", leveled perfectly. Then used the Resi-coils in rear. Rides awesome.

Looks like you have a 2WD non PB, so that would explain why you get an inch more lift than Shane 150.

True, but it is adjustable.
I was mainly commenting on how good the package is.

I got 2.5" exact on mine as well. 4x4 non PB. I have the rears just havent made time to install them yet but the truck rides so much better than it did before the eibachs. Also, still on stock tires till i can decide on a size i want to go with.

I just received my Eibach pro truck stage 2 2R package and will be installing soon. I currently have a readylift 2" puck in there now and am hoping for a very similar height. I got a quote from a nearby offroad shop for $550 install plus $150 alignment. I think I'll install it myself, drive it for a week to settle, and take it for an alignment.

I've been scouring the forum and YT. Is there any consensus on installing by removing the UCA versus LCA? And if going the route of UCA, how do I avoid the risk of the axle getting extended too far? 22 Platinum, 3.5EB, 4x4.

 

[Graygoose2021]

You should be fine, your under the 3" level/lift.

When I did mine, I asked matt and he said I was complete fine and mines 2.5"
$550...wow...had a buddy do my front, and rear reservoirs and he was done in 3 hours .
Thats a heft shop rate

I started with the UCA but I felt that I was extending the driveshaft too much so I stopped and went with LCA. You will need more heavy duty tools to remove the LCA bolts and your torque wrench has to be able to torque it back to 258ft.lbs

My torque wrench highest setting was 250 which held fine until the next day when I drove it to the alignment shop.

With your 2.5" of lift, did you make any adjustments to the threaded collar, or did you leave it exactly as it came out of the box? I read the instructions and they say about 1/8" lift for every full turn. I realize that each truck trim and engine is different weight, so the lift out of the box will depend on the trim/engine/options and the 1/8" is merely approximate.

I think I will try the UCA route first. We'll see how that goes.

Left it as is. Matt said it was perfect for a 2wd.

Not to completely hijack this thread, but hoping someone on here may be able to help. Where are people ordering this kit from? I had originally ordered the Ford Bilstein kit, but it has been back ordered for so long now and am going to go the Eibach route. However, this now also appears to be back ordered.

Appreciate any help if there are leads on who may have these in stock.

Tire rack had some in stock when I looked recently. I think google will be your friend here. I just went with the regular 6112 instead. I like the adjustability of the Eibach but don’t care for the 400lbs springs
