Finally got my Carbon coilovers and shocks installed! The ride is much better, more controlled in every way, smoother over small and big bumps on the road. No more bouncing or floating after bumps. Thank you everyone at Carbon for a great product at a great price and incredible customer service!

No issues on the install and I didn't even have to re-do the alignment! The dealership installed them for me and had the brake lines ran outside of the line for the bypass reservoir. This caused the brake lines to rub the tire at full lock. I just moved the brake lines to the inside to fix it. Hopefully I can find some dirt soon!

Here's how I set up the adjusters all of them started from full soft for zero:

High speed (silver) - 15
Low speed (black) - 3 (changed to 2)

Rear
Rebound tubes point up
Rebound 1 is long - 15
Rebound 2 is short - 5

Compression tubes point down
Comp 1 is long - 15
Comp 2 is short - 10 (changed to 9)

It is a great deal, and I am very interested but I have yet to pull the trigger. I understand it is a small company but the lack of video of the truck performing in a manner that would warrant me swapping out the suspension is lacking. I would like to see how the suspension actually functions at keeping the truck level at speed over whoops, jumps, etc. Seeing the suspension cycle from underneath doesn't tell me a whole lot. The shop and fabrication from Carbon seems good but I am still on the fence .

King is king , had carbons on my gen1 raptor years ago so did my buddy on his yota … I would save my money fs .

You have any experience with ADS? Somebody just dropped a vid with their ADS 3.0s and the vid actually looks pretty legit. Whoops aren't that big but the thing looks like it's very very planted. Even did pretty well on the little jump the guy hit at 60-70mph. Here's the vid:

King is absolutely a great product with 20+ years in the industry. There is a reason their name is established! 15 years from now I hope to have Carbon in a place that people speak highly of us as an industry leader. All good things come in time!

That's a fun run. Always good to see a TRX getting after it!

TLDR my question is weight releated, I have a very heavy load on the rear end,
Front Spacer
Rear Eibach HD spring + Spacer + Bags this gets me level with the front and just slightly over stock. I am very interested in this setup but again have questions about weight. Did we confirm that the Eibach Spring can be used with this?

Anyone heavy running these yet?

Eibachs work perfectly. We just installed a set yesterday on the TRX heading to Sema. Oddly enough they install easier than factories thanks to the dual wind.

I have 3 customers running the Eibachs as well and no issues. The track bar ultimately is your limiting factor on down travel that direction.

What is the overall ride height with these installed measured at the front and the rear with the Eibach HD springs?

Measurement from the ground to fender on a 37" tires at 40 PSI
