Bilstein vs Eibach

Personally I'd stay away from the E load tires regardless of size. 95% of our trucks are way too light to for an E load tire. I got rid of mine because I felt every little bump in the road. I went with 285's in a P load and they are so much better for on road and light offroad driving. Just my 2 cents.

 

I have 265/75/16 KO2’s which are an E-load tire. With my Eibach suspension, I think my ride is very nice. I made a 25 mile trip today and when I shut my truck off, it said I averaged 22.5 MPG. No complaints on my end.

 

I recently sold my 2008 with the eibach lift and bought a 2015 Now I'm looking at these two brands again but this time around I'm either going with the eibach 2.0 coilovers or or the bilstien 6112. I was hoping to see some people that have used one or both of those.

 

Alright Thanks!

 

Yeah I wanted those tires but they don't make that in a 17. Thanks man

 

Thanks! They’re Wildpeak at3w

 

If you want to run 275/70R17 and are considering other tires, Wilpeak at3w are a great option. I also wanted to get a bigger tire size but I didn't want to run 33's and I felt like 31's looked too small. So I went with 275/70R17 (32's) and with a 1.5" lift they look aggressive enough, IMO. You are limited in tire choices if you decide to go with 275/70R17 though. Mine are C rated. I've had a handful of people that assume I'm running 33's. When I tell them they're 32's they're surprised

Edit: 275/70R17 Falken Wildpeak at3w are overall 32.4"

 

I'm not sure what model Eibach shocks I was looking at but I'm sure that it had the rubber boot on the bottom part of the shock. I'm thinking that's a good way to throw a rock or catch a branch and tear the thing up when off-roading.

 

Great advice! Thank you. ThebKO2s in that size are E rated I think. I may buy the wildpeaks then. Did you have to do a cab mount chop at all?

 

Hi, witch notch setting you went for? or how many inches your front is lifted?

 

Hey, I went with the 4th notch. It’s about 1.55” lift in the front

 

Do you feel the ride is stiffer or softer (or same) as the OEM springs on the OEM shocks (stock)?
