Eibach PRO TRUCK Coilover 2.0 Stage 2

but if you have these eibach coilvoers can’t you just raise the perch to 2.5 inches?

 

Yes, these are adjustable without perch clips, it is a threaded adjustment ring nut that requires a spanner wrench. Some people choose to use a spacer rather than increasing preload or to have them even side to side and set at the same number of turns. I opted to use the adjustment on the shock to account for Taco lean. IMO this is a better choice because the added weight of the fuel and battery cause the lean and more preload is exactly what is needed to make both side of the front behave the same over bumps etc.

 

Absolutely.

 

Sidenote, I have not heard back if there was an issue or not with the coilovers from Eibach.

 

Waiting on that too been wanting to go higher as my truck sits like it's stock and the rear is high up.. I can't go back to stock as I sold my stock suspension, and I don't that kind of money to go buy another set of coilovers.

And at one point, I had the coilover as high as 3.5" actually

 

How long do these take to settle? I feel like I can feel everything like if I run over a leaf

 

Eibach are pre-settled as part of the manufacturing process. They are digressive, so they will dampen hard to absorb the first hit but they rebound and recover much better softer and controlled than the TRD Sport shocks I pulled off. Even the initial hit is less jarring and more controlled.

The Hitachi's from factory, I felt like they had cement in them... not oil.. damn they hit hard! I find the Eibach's to be a night and day difference in ride quality.


Edit: Just noticed you have an OR... you might find these firmer. My understanding is the factory Bilstein shocks are softer and not as aggressive.

 

yeah I guess I’m just surprised by how I can feel like so much. I’m glad I don’t have the top out issue but there is a bit of a trade off. I wanted to increase dampening and lower body roll. Didn’t know it came with feeling everything. Still like it overall, just feels like it needs more miles to mellow. I’ve had it for about a thousand miles now and it’s getting more towards what I thought it’d give

 

Same here, H/U

 

Any updates

 

You replied to my post yesterday lol.

I have not heard back yet.

 

Mine came with screws built in at the top shock mount, I still proceeded with the install and everything went in fine. Has anyone seen this style?

 

This is what mine look like at the top.

 

Here is the number on mine and the label from the box. I haven’t noticed any issues with mine. I’ve put on about 1,000 miles on the street. Also had it off-road a few times and didn’t have any issues. I had a shop I trust install them. They were installed exactly how they came out of the box without making any adjustments. I’m on the stock UCAs.

 

Yep, I have the same numbers

 

Sorry, to hear all the trouble people are having.

My experience with the kit has been great. No noises what so ever. Stock wheels with stock size Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. Had the full 2.0 kit on since early July with about 6,000 km's on them. I'm only at 1.5" front lift. No other spacers or UCAs or front suspension parts. Rear Airlift bags that I keep at 10psi unloaded (slight 1/8" lift at this psi). Self installed and I'm by no means a professional mechanic or tech.

I have the style with studs built into the top of the assembly (not separate bolts). The two letters at the end of my numbers are I/Q...82213.9003 I/Q.

Lots of speed bumps and bad roads, dirt roads to the cottage. No off roading yet but will be snow wheeling on the lake come ice fishing season. I'll report on my experience again when the temps get cold (-30C to -40C at times) and I get on the lake.

That's all the info I have to offer for now...hope things get resolved soon for those having trouble.

 

I've never seen that! I honestly prefer that.

Mine just looks like these

 

Maybe there was a production change to studs. It would make installation easier and less chance of crossthreading the bolt into the mount plate. Functionally, once installed, there is now difference.

 

Installed a set of these with the reservoir rear shocks on a customer's truck this weekend. Feels like a pretty solid kit for the price and they ride nice with the 600lb springs they come with (much better than stage 1). They also had the bolts in the top hats like every other setup I've installed. Gave the truck a near perfectly leveled stance out of the box when paired with their 1" rear lift blocks.

EDIT: We did end up removing the sway bar a few days after initial install. The endlinks/sway bar were not happy with this kit and made a lot of noise. No issues after removal.

 

Any word back yet?

Any update on cause or solution?
