Eibach Pro Lift vs 5100s

You won’t be disappointed with eibach. Great kit as well.

 

Just like the OP, im torn between the 5100s and the Eibach pro kit.

I was considering getting 5100's with Eibach springs, and I know some retailers will sell and assemble them for you that way. Whats stopping me is, wouldn't it be logical to pair Eibach springs with Eibach shocks??

 

6112/5160 IMO

 

Also considering this as well. What clip setting are you on? Stock springs?

 

They come with their own springs. I'm only running then on 3/2 for about a half inch of lift in the front.

 

Exactly! its a hard choice!

 

I think the 5100 and Eibach shocks are pretty comparable. The fact I like about the Eibach kit is that their spring/shock is developed to work together. They are a very well know suspension company as well. Not that Bilstein isn’t, but you have to find a spring to pair w/ the 5100. I feel like I read a lot of issues with OME springs losing their height over time.

If you have a little more $$ to spend I would go the 6112/5160 route. I am actually trying to sell my Eibach kit (new in box) so I can go with the 6112s. Selling my Eibach kit for $495 if anyone is interested, its listed in the classifieds.

 

Per Bilstein the 5100 was designed to work with the stock springs, so you do not have to look around for a spring. The other springs available will void the warranty on the 5100.

 

It was a little cheaper and I purchased the 5100s before I decided which springs to go with. It was between the eibach pros and Dobinsons c59-314s. The eibachs were were $50 cheaper so they won but the Dobinsons get great reviews.

 

Not the right kit... aka not the stage 1 kit.

 

Im here too if you guys have any questions

 

First notch with eibach shocks and eibach springs is 2". Second notch is 2.5". Looks and rides great at either setting. Also, can accommodate a bumper/winch.

 

Yup

 

im assuming the first notch 2 inch will ride a bit better than the 2.5 inch. Because less load on spring?

 

+1 great kit for the price! Night and day difference from my OEM OR susp

 

LMAO!! That’s my favorite

 

I got a Sport, like i mentioned before, I bought the truck with a spacer lift, so i have no idea how stock is supposed to feel!

 

I had a '16 Sport before my '19 OR, no susp mods on the Sport before I traded it in but Sport vs OR OEM susp is night and day. OEM Sport rides very stiff, tuned more for street applications from the factory. It definitely doesn't soak up the bumps and dips in the road as well as OEM OR does, it definitely felt more harsh imo. The OEM OR was definitely softer all around than the OEM Sport.

The Eibach kit rides more stiff that OEM OR but in a great way, it soaks up the bumps and dips way better than OEM OR did but feels comfortable and confident at the same time.

Just my 2 cents

 

Awesome! im definitely leaning towards Eibach! Then onto some SCS SR8s Dark Bronze! birthday coming up Wednesday, so if anyone wants to send some extra cash to help fund my taco i would greatly appreciate it! .
