Eibach pro lift kit

Past couple months I've been bouncing all around the place on what suspension to go with and keep coming back to the Eibachs.

Could I drop $3k on Fox or King's? I could actually. But I know they are more than likely overkill and I'm looking to upgrade to an iKamper from my Tepui.

I travel 40-50 highway miles a day for work and look to get out and camp 2-3 times a month. My off roading is forest service roads and very mild trails. However I do plan on upping the difficulty over the coming years.

Me and the fiance are taking 16 days to road trip from Knoxville, TN to Seattle and back in March. I want to have my truck ready for some true exploring out west.

But like I said.. I'm not going to be hauling ass down rutted paths or rock crawling so I think Eibachs paired with an OME MD Dakar would suffice. Between my rack / tent I'm at 190lbs, anywhere from 200-300lbs of gear and two adults weighing around 300lbs together. What notch would be recommended to keep a rake with leaf pack?

Tell me I'm making the right call in your opinion to skip a Fox / King setup. Or not...

 

265/75/16. Saving up for 33s.

 

So my question is for the guys that installed a diff drop with the Eibach kit, is there a certain size diff drop kit or are they all roughly the same? I have a diff drop on right now with my LowRangeOffroad 3" front spacer lift that it came with so I'm curious if that one will work just fine for it??

 

So your truck is what's making me pull the trigger on the Eibach kit.
If you dknt mind me asking, could I get a list of what you bought for your set up?

 

Kit arrived in mail yesterday! Install coming soon. I cant wait.

 

Where did you order your kit from? Every place seems to be back ordered. I’m still waiting for mine from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc since May.

 

I just talked to wheeler they told me middle of next week that’s what Eibach just told them. I don’t know if there blowing smoke up my ass and tell us what we want to hear

 

Ordered from HeadstrongOffroad They personally drove to Eibach and picked up some kits.

 

I talked to Wheeler's last week and they assured me Eibach was shipping them on June 30. I also paid via PayPal and noticed it hadn't debited my Credit Card. That changed on the 24th when it hit my card. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't technically charge me since it wasn't available but now I have been officially charged. Any Wheeler's folks on this thread that can comment or update?

 

In no way are we wanting to be passing out incorrect information to our customers. We seek updates from the manufacturers and relay that information straight over. This case (and many past issues) involving our purchase order(s) with Eibach have us baffled. HUGE apologies to our customers that are waiting patiently in line during these wild wild west times. Our president and CEO is in touch with Eibach's CEO right now to shed some light on this. As we would of had a semi truck/trailer at their door if we had the option to simply pick up sitting parts/kits.

 

I ordered from Headstrong Offroad as well. They still have the Eibach kit in stock. I'm just waiting for Headstrong's 3 leaf AAL to be in stock.

 

Appreciate the quick feedback and very much looking forward to receiving the kit!

 

So what is the good rear leaf option for comfort to pair with this?

 

Finally.. finally made my mind up and can't justify Kings / Fox as I won't get the full use out of them.

Ordering the 2.0s for front and Pros for the back from Stage3Motorsports. Going to pair them with HD Dakars as well. My wheels are a 0 offset ( Level 8 MK6 ) and hoping I can clear 285/75r16 General Grabbers without a CMC.

Found a rent-a-bay garage in town so I'll be attempting to do the install myself.

 

The sway bar on my driver side it’s closer to the coil than the passenger but it’s not rubbing is there any way to make both sides even just for piece of mind

 

Is anyone running a 2" block or add a leafs in the back with the eibachs up front? I already am running a 2" block in the rear and am trying wondering how un-level it may look...

 

Also, sway bar relocation brackets? Who is and who isnt running them??
What are the downfalls of not running them?

 

Many are running blocks or AAL’s in the back. Hate to sound cliche but just read the whole thread. You will find a lot of people running single, 3 aal, and 1-2” blocks. It will also answer a lot of questions you may have by reading what others have asked.

 

I am still waiting on mine to come in but I will be using a 1" block. Had a 2" spacer up front with the 1" block in the back and I was almost totally level. Will post some picks when I finally get it.

 

I would rather have the 1" block I think but im already running the 2" and am wanting to avoid any extra costs right now sense im also getting UCA's and a CMC at the same time as the Eibachs and install...
