    Since I couldn’t find any information on this set up I went ahead and did it. Swapped out the OME struts and shocks for the Eibachs. I reused the OME 885 coils and leaf pack.

    What differences between the OME and Eibach did you find post install?

    78,000 miles and 8 years of have the OME struts and shocks on the truck, in my opinion OME was firm, stiff. Going over every bump or crack in the road was like an impact or jarring. It did what it was designed to do. I've got about 1k miles on the Eibachs now. The Eibachs absorb bumps a lot better, and firms up when corning. Highway driving is smooth. Hope this helps.
