Eibach pro lift kit

But I will say none of the chipped powder coat flakes were in the packaging so it happened before it was boxed. So I don’t think the marked up springs are from the delivery service.

 

I do wonder if this spring not resting on the stop will have any effect on noise. Should I try to get it to rest in the proper place or let it ride?

 

in this case, 2 options, rent/ borrow a crappy spring compressor from Oreilly's or similar, the good news is you won't need to compress as much to get it to move over a bit. If not, install as is, then do the NO SPRING COMPRESSOR method using weight of the truck to adjust. I've done installs both ways.
here's a video as an example:

Curious if it’s possible to to adjust down to below the 1st notch. Basically, I’d like to avoid any preload on the shock so I don’t lose any down travel (droop), and also keep my front lift around 1.” 14” spring over stock 13” should help me achieve this.

I know at headstrong you can buy the strut and 700# coil separately.

 

I'd let it ride...
I bet it will settle into place pretty quick.
But for comparison, mine were seated.

 

Ready for install...

 

Hey. Did the sway bar relocation bracket come with that kit? Is that the stage 1 kit?

 

Yeah, it did. Stage 1. I have the rear block's too. I'm not using either of them.

 

Nice. Post pics when done. I’m still waiting on mine and the AAL. Just seeing you guys getting your kits gives me hope.

 

I've had mine for 6 months hahaha. Actually just unboxed everything. Took awhile to get the AAL though.

 

And it makes me want to purchase sooner than planned....

 

Eibach installed. Bottom notch.
1/4" HS spacer
ICON AAL
ECGS

please excuse the baby shoes..
alignment tmrw, rotating but keeping the 245's a couple weeks before wheels/tires and prob another alignment.

Ride is stiffer for sure, but much more planted.
Def like it better, feels like a truck should feel.
Not like a caddy..
Swapped at 36.7k, original tires are slappy, too, plus alignment off..

a big THANK YOU to @skatefreak282 and @Arcticelf for workin on their Sunday and gettin me close enough to float home.

Will check in after tires and final alignment, but got 2.25" front, and about 2" rear, for now..but less than 100 miles, so..

(before/after)
after pic is on a pretty good incline, overal she still sags a bit on front left..

 

That stance looks super sharp though. Can't wait to see it with new shoes!

 

Perfect!

 

That's a good amount of gains up front for bottom notch. Netted about 2.5" up front on second clip on my OR. I still got the taco lean even after 1/4" spacers but definitely less noticeable. Finally adding an 1.5" AAL since now rear sagged a little after going on my 3k plus roadtrip and adding RTT too.

 

Stock UCA's? Looks great.

 

thx.

yep, stock. we'll see how the guys do tomorrow.
got some info to pass along to them, hopefully no alignment issues.

 

around town, love it
highway, we'll see after tires but most likely doing UCAs

lil squirrely

 

Squarely after alignment?

 

@Arcticelf best worded it.. 'twitchy'
due to stock UCA limitations?
Im not the guy for that in depth stuff..but learning.

Best way to describe for me, easier to move around if that makes sense?
still solid, no vibes that I can tell..just that 70+mph movement, wasn't there before the lift.
A bit breezy, too..I guess.

I had them rotate, so in truth I suppose it could be the rear tires. First highway run was today, post align, on the swapped rears..which look fine. I dunno.

No biggie. Still stoked. Wouldn't change a thing.
Absolutely love the ride vs stock. Day and night, imho.
Looks a lot better, very little nose dive and a lot less roll.
A+

Not even broken in yet, only maybe 110 miles.
