Eibach PRO TRUCK Coilover 2.0 Stage 2

Hopefully you beat the black Friday mail traffic!

 

I wonder why 1 year warranty on eibach vs lifetime on 5100s? I’ve got the shocks, coil overs, and deaver 402s sitting in my cart and going back and fourth if I wan5 to order them. Everything I read about them has been positive overall.

 

Eibach website says lifetime warranty

 

Nice, I did not see that, Wheelers says 1 yr.

 

That's probably a wheelers specific warranty on suspension through their website

 

Gotcha. How you liking yours? I was not planning on lifting my truck until the factory suspension wore out but I’ve got front 2.0 coil overs, rear shocks, deaver 402s, new bushing and u-bolts for rear leafs ($2,000 delivered with coupons and deals). The rear will be about 2” so I don’t think I’ll need UCAs if I’m running level or 1/2” rake. Anything else I should order (I’ll order the clamshell bushing separate. Don’t think I’ll need shims, extended brake lines…Hope corrosion resistance is decent.

 

Welcome to #TeamEibach

 

Incase I haven't posted mine up after the install.. here it is.

Sitting pretty. Could go up a lil more in the front. And maybe .5" in the rear but rn she looks better and handle better. I will need UCA asap since my coils are hitting my uca at droop. Thinking of going with JBA UCA or camburg.

 

Lol just finished reading entire thread. Haven’t ordered yet. Still thinking about waiting another year. I’ve got like 12k miles (short commute). Might wait for the reservoir version.

 

Haven't had a chance to install mine yet. I only plan on lifting the front to level the truck and then I'll let the natural settling of the springs be my rake.

I don't want to preload my suspension too much. Most of my offroad driving is on my property through thick woods without real trails. Clearance and approach angles aren't as big of deal to me as ample down and up travel of my suspension as I go over logs and holes in the ground. I don't need long travel or anything too crazy, but hopefully the upgrade from these pro 2.0s will be exactly what I'm looking for.

 

Yeah I’m on my sumo springs with my cap and constant weight of a tote with some tools etc in the bed. Figured I’d rather just do Deavers and 402s seems where I’m at so I’ll probably need 1.5” of lift in the front to not have too much rake. They look good. I have an additional 10% coupon code that’s only good until tomorrow it’s killing me. Lol.

 

I see, me too, my job is like 3 miles from my home. Plus I live in a small island soo..
And I agree I await the piggy back shocks too

 

I'm really happy with mine!! A+

 

Wheelers and eibach is on a sale. One heck if a deal. I wish I waited a lil longer. But after having it install. I really enjoy my truck even more.

 

Just woke up turned on the crockpot full of beef roast and ordered. Should probably order the ecgs bushing and puller from east coast gear.

 

@Chief_CNMI @btmtrd @YouKnowNB When installing the 1/4" spacer did you guys have to purchase extended top hat bolts? I'm maxed out on the drivers side. Wouldn't mind cranking it down a bit to reduce preload.

 

I read the entire thread yesterday, before ordering - yes if using spacers on top of the coilover the bolts from the kit will likely be too short. People just replaced with same longer bolts from homedepot etc.

 

Anyone know the bolt size and grade we should be using?

 

I can look at my kit when I get home tonight. Be in about 5 hours or so.

 

Anyone have these in the fronts with bilsteins 5160 in the rears?
