    Hey so I installed eibachs pro truck 2 coilovers and icon 1.5 aal and I'm trying to get an understanding of what I did when it comes to ride height.

    I bought this setup to achieve a 2.5 inch lift, now is that measurement only for the front because the rear is being lifted 1.5 inches with icon aal, am I right?

    How do I even out the ride height? Thank you

    I’m a little confused by the wording on this but if you bought a 2.5” coilover up front your ride should be level with the AAL as it comes from the factory already 1” higher in the back than the front

    I’ve bolted some stuff to it *lists cool stuff here*
    Unless you have an certain trim level perhaps the truck comes with a rake from the factory.. most often when lifting you are also leveling the truck.. thus the numbers you need front to back are different

    Yea I didn't know where to start with my questions but you cleared it up for me by informing it comes 1 inch higher from factory, so now I know that the rear is sitting 2.5 inches with the aal, now I need to figure out what mm do i set the front eibach coilovers at to even it out

    The rear AAL on an old pack will sag, so anticipate that. Document measurements and you'll see over time.

    AAL's are more for new packs, not older packs.
