    20220322_181330.jpggot it installed today with one inch eibach block in rear and SPC UCAs. 4WP insisted I needed to be the top setting for 2.5 I told them middle notch would be perfect. They insisted I would only yield 2 inches on middle notch. I actually yield about 2.8 they told me let it settle after 1k miles and if I'm not satisfied they will drop it down to middle notch and re align at no cost. I'm about .5 higher up front. Digging the ride a bit stiffer than stock but I prefer it. And these are my alignment numbers to those that know are these good numbers please help?20220322_172818.jpg

    Does it look a bit nose high to you? I know a picture it's hard to tell

    So far so good. It is significantly better than before, no longer feels squishy. I’m hoping it holds its shape for awhile.

    Did it ever settle up front or still have the slight squat?

    It is tough to tell in that picture, but it does appear to have a bit of rear squat. I am assuming that you had the Eibach 1.0 kit installed including the Eibach springs that came with the kit? If this is the case, Eibach pre conditions the springs to try to take any settling out of the spring. I have not seen any settling from my kit in 3 weeks and I have not taken it easy on my suspension, I have driven exactly the same I had before the lift. I took 2 large speed bumps last night at about 60kph without issue...

    Yeah I have the stage 1 kit. With the one inch rear blocks. My plan was to have them installed at 2nd notch but 4Wheel parts suggest that the 3rd notch would barely yield the 2inch assuming they knew what they were doing I agreed. I'm definitely. 5" higher up front not sure if that's bad for a vehicles perform

    looks good. How much weight do you have in the back? And how does it sit, level, or slight rake?

    I've got pretty close to 400 pounds daily, goes up a bit for trips. Guess I didn't mention that I've got Firestone airbags as well, only run the minimum 5psi as it sits in that pic. Got about 1" of rake.

    EDIT: this information is for 2nd gen Stage 1 kit installations, and does not match 3rd gen kits.

    So I looked in Eibach's installation documents for your lift...
    Stock Coils.jpg

    This is the clip set-up when using the stock coil. It is quite similar to the Bilstein 5100 clip set up...

    Now this is the clip settings using the EIbach lift coil provided with the kit...

    Eibach Coils.jpg

    As you will see, it says 2.5" lift on the first notch, 3.1' on the second, and not to use the 3rd, 4th, or 5th with the Eibach coil. This might be something you may want to discuss with the installer...

    You may also want to pay attention to the first note about warranty...

    Those are instructions for 2nd gen (or some other application) Eibachs, 3rd gen only has 3 clip locations.

    Yeah that's definitely a different shock. Maybe for 5100? The Eibach only has three settings

    Interesting, those both came from the document tab on the Eibach webpage for the 3rd Gen stage 1 lift kit. I guess they haven't been updated.

    Weird, this is what I found https://eibach.com/us/pdf/327949
    I know one other guy earlier in this thread had accidently received a 2nd gen kit for his 3rd, confusion ensued.

    Just got these 2 pics off of the installation guide from Eibach site just now.

    One pic shows the settings if using the STOCK spring.

    The other pic shows the settings if using the Eibach lift spring. Screenshot_20220323-182437_Drive.jpg Screenshot_20220323-182515_Drive.jpg

    It is interesting that it says the top 2 grooves are for extra weight and shouldn't be used for extra lift. The 2nd Gen sets seem more flexible. I am glad I went for the stage 2 kit with it's infinite adjustability.
