    Hi SearArtist,
    Sorry I'm a little late replying here, just got back to this thread, not sure if you did your install yet. I've got Eibachs all the way around. I'm only running lowrange offroad blocks under the rear that are advertised as 1 inch. However, I measured before and after installation and got an actual 1.75 inches of lift from center of hub to the wheel well. So I agree, it might be close, but I think you'll be fine. I probably also depends a lot on how tight your springs are, or rather, how much travel they allow.

    I initially did just the front springs/shocks, which vastly improved ride and handling, they eliminated a huge amount of body roll and the "bouncy" feel of the stock suspension. So I ordered the rears about a week later and they are also a huge improvement over the factory Bilsteins (I've got a TRD Off Road), in terms of soaking up bumps and potholes better.

    Good luck with your build!

    Cool deal. Yeah, I haven't had time to install them yet.

    Looking good! What size wheels and tires did you go with? I see you rocking Colorado plates. Make sure to check out the Colorado forums.

    It's the same shit. I went with Wheelers...it was a few dollars cheaper than Headstrong.

    Edit: you need a 1/4" spacer for the front to correct the lean.

    Hey Everyone, Sorry I’m a little late to the party, but I’ve been wheeling these dampers and springs since we started the program and happy to help with any questions. I’m not on here often so please be sure to tag me so I get the notifications.

    Happy to see some positive reviews on the kit!


    @walkman71 I know we’re in the 3rd gen forum, but I have them on my second gen so I figured I would share my personal experience with the clip system and lift spring combined.
    I currently have approximately 210lbs on the front end of my truck and on the second clip. I thought the front was a tiny bit low aesthetically (I’m using Icon RXT 1.75” leaf pack in the rear.) so I bumped up to the third clip. I’m realizing I don’t have enough weight to support anything beyond the second clip using our lift spring. This is evidence by the damper “topping out” over big G-outs and the preload on the spring being too much. The frequency is high and feels chattery. So I would feel confident in saying anything up to 250lb on the front works beautifully on the second clip with the lift spring. You would likely need another 100lb to require a third clip adjustment.

    The front 2.5 inches and 1 inch in the rear. I just have the shocks in the rear which provide the 1 inch of lift. Tires are 285/70R17

    I’m pretty sure that only adding the shocks in the rear will not provide any lift. You will need leafs or a block as well.

    My thoughts as well, and if so wouldn’t it cause massive amounts of “bounciness” since there is no support for the shock? Or is the stock lead pack enough for the lift? But still learning!
