Eibach pro truck stage 1

Not much info out there on these so here goes. Pulled the trigger on the Eibach pro truck stage one kit. Comes w front adjustable struts, perches, springs, rear shocks, sway bar relocation kit. The springs start you at 2.5” so that’s as low as u go but just getting shocks and struts to use old springs is the same adjustment ranges you would get from Billy 5100s. Doesn’t come with upper mounts for front so added moog from RockAuto for those. Truck sits dam near perfectly level witch some are cool w but I personally wanted a bit of rake so I’m waiting on my 1” rear blocks to give me some back. Truck corners like it’s on rails and soaks up bumbs with these. The diff is completely night and day.

 

So this kit raised the front 2.5" I've been looking at my options as far as lifts and havent seen much on this one yet. Ive got the same color and configuration except a 2012 and 4cyl.

 

I have Bilstin strutts and eibach coils on mine this setup looks very similar. You stated the strutts are adjustable how do they adjust? I left my Bilsteins on "0" with the 2.5" Eibachs I added the top plate spacers to get the ful 3" of lift. They don't offer any rear springs with this setup? How much lift can the rear shocks handle?

 

Yes will raise truck on bottom setting 2.5” w Eibach lift springs that come w stage 1 kit, if used w factory springs basically same as 5100s 0, .8, 1.6, 2.5 clip and groove on shock body for adjustments. Rear shocks have 1” more travel than factory, will post more pics once I lift the rear

 

So was getting a very slight vibration at certain speeds which is probably normal after any significant front lift. Then I took the truck in for the new frame recall. Figured w alightment at dealer now was the time to lift it. Vibes were horrible when I got it back, not sure why it changed so much after. Anyway got my 1” rear block kit in the mean time from a company out of California called heavy metal suspensions. $63 for u bolts, hardware and high carbon steel blocks on Amazon. After I installed blocks vibes are almost completely gone, may make a 1/4” spacer for carier bearing to see if it gets even better or worse. Here are some updated pics....

 

Measurements on fender height after blocks are measuring a little over 1/2” higher in rear for a bit of rake back. I don’t particularly think measuring fender height is an accurate way to measure this but gives u a rough idea. Truck handles excellent with no nose diving during hard braking. Very happy overall with how it turned out. Now for some new rims and tires

 

Looks great dude!! I thought those were for street use not lifting. I would cut the excess off those u bolts!

 

Thanks man! Yeah I already did, no definitely great set up on and off road.

 

How does the eibach suspension ride?
