Eibach pro lift kit

Needs resolved asap. Take it back to the shop.

 

Just sent them the pictures. Waiting on a call back

 

They forgot to install the lower bushings!

 

They forgot lower bushing or washer.

 

So with added 115 pounds here’s where I’m at in first notch. I lost 3/8 in up front.

 

Installed my lift last night. Looks and rides great. Installed the lift only. Have the ECGS bushing in case it goes out but as of now it is not needed.

 

How come no under 2" option? I get you could use stock coils but that defeats the purpose. Not much demand?

 

Hardly any demand.

 

Ryan at Eibach.. if I lost 3/8 in by adding 115 pounds up front would going up one notch to 2nd clip give me a 1/2 back (1/8 above where I was)? Would clip 3 be overkill? I never had any vibes, needed ECGS bushing, or had issues with radar cruise control but I wouldn’t mind more lift up front.. just not at the cost of those issues I avoided.

I netted 1 7/8 drivers front and 1 6/8 pass front originally so right now after losing 3/8 inch I’m only lifted 1 1/2 in on drivers front. if I’m reading correctly I should get 1/2 more for each clip but maybe less since I have the weight?

 

I will shoot some tomorrow as it's a bit dim out right now.

 

you need an increased spring rate.
-Raising the clip only increases pre-load on your spring.
-your static-weight increased for your truck, and the springs rate is no longer able to suspend it at the spec you indicate.
-you must increase spring rate, not "height" or "pre-load" to offset your increased weight.

 

Which kit did you get?

 

The instructions from Eibach state..


 The top two snap ring grooves are to be used to accommodate extra weight, such as heavy duty bumper, winch, and other miscellaneous modifications that may contribute to a lower overall ride height.
 Use of the top two grooves to get more than 2.5” of lift may cause a degradation of ride quality.
 Average lift measurements shown are for Pro Truck Sport Dampers when used in conjunction with Eibach Pro Lift Springs. The lift amounts are based on a stock vehicle with no added aftermarket accessories or additional weight.

 

What notch on the front shocks with that bumper ?

 

Eibach is literally wrong, and you can find this out the easy way or the hardway. This isnt my opinion, its physics.
-If springs cause lifts why dont you just buy a 15" spring instead of 14" ???????? (factory spring is 13")

only increasing spring RATE can offset weight-load increase. nothing else. period. The clips only effect pre-load. pre-loading the shock even further will only make them worse, or blow them depending on the weight you have. They have already sold you a shock with the wrong spring size, the wrong spring rate, and advertises "2inches of lift!" as a result of massively incorrect levels of pre-load. Buyer-beware.

 

Here you go. Wheels and tires to come soon.





Edit*
Realized I didn't comment on how I feel about it. The install was super smooth. Only hiccup I had was putting the sway bar link back in before completing the second side so I had to go back and remove it for ease. The ride is great. I didn't know what the OR Shock dive was when stopping until I read about it but couldn't overlook it once I was wise to it (a negative aspect of TW I guess).

For the rear I paired it with Wheelers progressive 3-leaf AAL and it feels so much better. Took out the overload.

Can't wait to see what she looks like with new shoes.

 

I think it’s the factory set notch, gave me about a 2” lift with out bumper and 1.5” lift up front with bumper, I didn’t install the aluminum blocks in the rear and enjoy how it sits.

 

Love that color

 

Just picked up a 2020 TRD OR, have been reading a ton in this thread. Looking to pick up the pro kit with a Wheeler 2inch AAL for the rear. anyone think the 2inch is a bit much?
thanks!
