Eibach lift 2nd notch- 1.5 or 2in aal?

So I’ve read the entire eibach thread and it seems like answers vary.

So I was wondering with those that do have this setup, what did you do in the back to have slight rake?

I want to avoid having a bro lean and plan to get a camper shell at some point.

 

IMO AAL will get tired over time. Trust me I know I went through this. I ended with a leaf pack of my choice. Super stoked with out come. If I were you get the leaf pack from the start.

Good luck OP

 

I figured I was going to drop the extra money on UCAs so if I can get by with a leaf hopefully. How long did it last you?

 

I hear you bro. Maybe a year and a half loading quite a bit. Then noticed not holding weight

 

What pack did you get

 

Icon rxt went with option #2

 

And you have eibach set to second notch? How much rake

 

No I have 6112’s 2” Up front. I have about 2” of rake. DCLB. Just trying to help out.

 

What you got in the back?

 

Bump for anyone else

 

Icon rxt leaf pack option #2

 

On my 2010 4.0dclb if you get there springs too on the 2nd notch you will have about 3" and ride rough , that is with a stock bumper/no winch. After i fabbed up my upper and lower control arms i put them on the bottom notch and ended up with about 2" and ride fairly smooth. Plate bumper and winch should be about 3/8" higher on the second notch.

 

I want to get a bumper at some point that’s why I was thinking the 2nd notch as well

 

Just change to the second notch afterwards, depending on bumper weight may not need to? You will hate your truck the way it rides!

 

i hear a lot of people say the 2nd notch isn’t bad. I read the entire ebiach thread and still can’t decide

 

It reminded me of a stock 84 solid axle truck with with 200 thouh plus miles on. Maybe 2nd with stock spring ? Another example is on my wife 3rd gen runner, complete kit front/rear. The rear was lifted about 1.5" .The front with there springs on bottom notch was 2.5". I ended up putting daystar 1.5" coil spacer lift on top of spring. The rear rides really nice. The front needs a bumper of 150-175 pounds and it would ride perfect.
