Eibach pro lift kit

After reading about 150 pages I finally pulled the trigger and it’s here!!! Purchased from Headstrong and it took a little over a week for delivery and so far everything looks good! Scheduled for install next week! Currently I’m on 265/75/16 ko2s, planning on keeping these tires for a few more months but we shall see... thanks everyone for all the information on this forum!

 

I replaced my previous 5100 setup with the Eibach pro on the 2nd notch, Dakar HD leaf pack, and Camburg upper control arms. I noticed an improvement with the Eibach setup vs the Bilsteins instantly. I can only speak for on road driving, but they absorb bumps and potholes much better than the 5100s did.

 

Nice looking truck great color

 

Man I can't wait to see how this turns out!

 

You might want to ensure the underside bushing is there. Typically when the top bushing is not compressed like this the bushing that goes under the top hat is missing. As far as the top nut goes, you should see about 6 threads showing. When tightening this nut its best to have the coils compressed.

 

So looking to get this eibach setup and determining what notch to set at. Will likely only add a hidden winch, dual battery system, and arb compressor to the front so minimal weight. Should I go with the 2nd notch or stick to the 1st? I will be getting hd dakar leaf pack to add to the rear to support my wedge camper I am building.

 

Dual batteries + winch is not "minimal weight" lol.

Depends on your goal for lift, but that sounds like 2nd notch territory to me.

 

Eibach on the bottom perch with HS 3aal on 285/75/16 Falken Wildpeak. Wheels are Enkei Rpt1 16x8 et0. No rub so far.

 

lol. Looking to raise it and make somewhat level but hard to say with the rear. I’m currrently unknown on how much weight will be back there but bare minimum is probably 500lbs with nothing added so was thinking the hd Dakar at 660lbs constant load would suit.

 

Truck looks good mate! So how close does your tire get to the front/back of the wheel well on those turns? I'm still thinking about going 285s when my 265s wear out, but I'm on a -12 offset currently.

 

Still have plenty of room to spare. Would probably rub if I was running mud flaps upfront. I'm still waiting on my JBA's to get deliver so I can move the front foward alittle more. Might rub with a -12 offset tho.

 

Looks clean. I have mine on the first notch but was thinking of going to the second. Did you notice any major difference?

 

no no major difference when changing. I should of gone with that setting from the start.

 

Forsure ima change mine this weekend.thanks!

 

It made the truck look more level, had a tad too much rake before for my liking. I'm running a steel front skidplate too.

 

I have an access cab too and been running on the first notch for a couple months after seeing yours I’ve finally decided to take it up a notch

 

What notch did you set them at? Front does not look much higher than factory. AAL will likely give you quite a bit of rake.

 

Rake is good

 

good stance - running the stock UCA and got good alignment specs?

 

Yes stock UCA for now. everything aligned as close to factory spec as possible. JBA high caster UCA are on the way.
