    Figured I’d post an update.
    Installed 11/3/21, currently have about 6000 miles on this setup. It has seen a mix of pavement and offroad driving(including a 1500 mile trip to Big Bend, mixed with trails all along the way).

    Current Setup:
    Eibach Pro Kit-
    Fronts on first clip with 1/4” spacer on Driver side, SPC UCA’s
    Rear - Icon Progressive AAL(no overload leaf)
    255/75/17 Geolandar M/T’s

    I recently added RCI sliders and aluminum skids, haven’t noticed any real change in stance from that.

    Overall, I have been extremely happy with this setup, especially for the price point. It has done well off road, and handles well on the highway. I am considering putting the overload leaf back in. Truck sets pretty level under normal load, but sags just a little when I have all my camping gear loaded up. For most people that prolly wouldn’t be an issue though.

    Hope this might help anyone on the fence about making the purchase.

    Is there any way to add more of a lift to the eibach lift kit when max'd out? Any components that can be added?

    So I’m trying to decide between first clip and second clip up front.

    I keep seeing mixed answers.

    i want to run a aal in the back with the overload for a future camper shell/gear.

    so want to have a small amount of rake for that purpose so I don’t have a bro lean

    Can I see some pics and answers around 1st clip vs second and how much rake you get with each WITH the over load in


    Thanks!

    Second clip, 3 leaf AAL with overload left in, 255/85 16. Road kind of rough until it gained some weight. Felt like I was bro adjacent in this pic.

    How does it sit on flat surface? Do you have rake, level or slight backwards lean?

    Looks great from the side, how do those skinnies look from the front with the lift?

    As pictured it was level to a tad bro, now I've got full bumpers, front winch, swapped the rear leaf pack for OME heavies and I've got an inch of rake.

    If you're not adding weight to the front I'd suggest the first notch.

    It’s been hard to decide bc I see some people saying with 1.5 and overload in and front 2nd notch they have some rake.

    I’d like to go second if I can maintain some rake with the overload in

    if not I can do first with aal and OL in. But didn’t want too much rake with that option

    Eibach Stage 1, 17x8.5 Ray 10s, 265/70-17
    IMG_1553.jpg

    Installed my stage 1 this past weekend. Just threw a 1" block in the back for now until I can do a little more research on rear springs/AAL. I'm actually sitting 1-1/2" higher in the rear with the 1" Eibach block and rear shocks. I was up 2-3/4" up front initially but after the first ride it settled down to about 2" even. 1/4" headstrong spacer on the left side. Picked up vibes so clamshell bushing is on the way. Sitting on 17x8.5 O offset KMCs and 265/70-17 Ultra terrains. Used an Autel ts408 to clone my oem TPMS so I can swap back to my stock wheels and 265/75-16 Wildpeaks next winter without any hassles. Front coil overs set on first setting. 3/4" rake measured hub to fender. Happy with the ride and the look.
