Eibach Pro-lift installed

I just got the front (1.6) & rear (1.5) Eibachs installed this afternoon. Have about 40 miles clocked so far but i can say it rides MUCH nicer so far. Doesnt seem to get so unsettled & angry on breaks in pavement/etc. Very smooth so far. Hit my speed hump at only 20mph so ill post more feedback after more time. Planning to do some hi speed offroad this week/wknd

I did do a few measurements though. Ground clearance at lowest bash plate bolt head went from 12.5” to 13.75” and rear hitch skid to ground gained about 1.25” as well.

Very subtle lift for sure. Exactly what i was looking for. Looks like stock fender travel when i had 35s.

Also- CV axle angle looks identical to stock. Very happy with that!

That looks like my truck now. They look perfect at that height. Can you measure from ground to wheelwell?

I know I'm a little nose high but it looks level. Maybe I should add the back springs.
 
Congrats man, it looks great. Who did you have do the install?
4wheelparts. They tried to get out of doing it once they saw they had to remove the rezzies & deal with active ride lol. They ended up doing a good job but took from 940 - 630pm. My final alignment sheet has 1 red box for Caster on the driver's front. They say there's no more room for adjustment but I'm calling BS b/c my before measurements had caster in the green so I'm going to bring it back for the free 1000 mile check-up where they'll check tq on everything they touched and get them to make the adjustment. I assume they were all ready to get outta there as it was 90 mins past close so I dont blame them. Truck drives pretty straight from what I can tell.

Yea i'll do some measurements and get back to you. Keep in mind that i am probably a smidge lighter than you in the front w/the oem bumper but definitely heavier than you in the rear as I carry about 350lbs of shit in the back

Yikes, my fronts took 2 hours and they acted like rears would be easier.

4wheelparts is considered the Wal-Mart of 4x4 around here. We have several indy shops that are true 4x4 fab shops and are very good.

No issues with my alignment. Did you recal the suspension?

I bet I'm close to that weight in back with gear and bumper. I didn't do a before measurement but I don't think the bumper and winch dropped the front at all. I was expecting them to. I had to gain 225 or more lbs on front.

So with stock springs the winch & bumper definitely would've sunken you about an inch but the Eibachs are stiffer so you're probably only losing 3/8" or something marginal. I wouild def do the rears if i were you though. It's nice to have a touch of rake so when you load the kids up or the 120qt Yeti in the back, everything evens out nicely ;-) And you'll still have better than stock ground clearances even fully loaded

No im waiting to recal the suspension until after springs settle and i get my bumpers installed. I literally got home yesterday from 4WP at 730pm last night lol. I did some offroading today slow & high speed and have a lot more to share as well as some measurements. Will create my own thread so this one can be more about the pro lift

So I reached out to eibach and they specifically said no recap necessary for the front level springs. Just an fyi. Idk mine in like September last year and no issues at all.
 
I haven't driven my truck lately, it is difficult to get me out of my house with 110-115 heat index. Yesterday I had to make a little trip on the highway and the truck was all over the road again. Turns out my psi went from 32 to 38 just sitting in the garage. Aired back down and it's all good again.

that heat man!!! INSANE!!!

It is, I am surprised of the fluctuation on the air pressure. I sure never saw more than 1-2 psi change with my cars and I don't remember the 35's being as drastic either but the again, they seemed fine at 35-40. The 37's don't like much air.
 
Just finished installing the spacers (and Rocklights).

37x12.50r18 with 1.5” Spacers on OEM Wheels (effective offset is -18)

The look is exactly as it should be… the Rub is real.

So the bad…. There is rub…

The outside edge of the tire catches that bolt… which sucks cause the fit finally looks right…

Looking into having some trimming done.
Do you have a lift or level done? I want to go with -18 after installing the Eibach pro lift 2.7 front, and I’m wondering if 37s will still rub.
 
Just had my Eibach pro kit installed and I love the change in ride characteristics. Much stiffer while turning but actually smoother than stock. My first impression was at the look of the truck after the height gain was oh dang now I need 37s. I am currently inclined to stick with the stock wheels and add 37 inch tires. Recommendations?

Did you measure from ground to bottom of fender at each wheel? My Eibach Install resulted in really wonky numbers like FL 41.624 FR 42.375 and RL 42 and RR 42.75. The truck now has the TRX Lean once again- I had that fixed with the New Springs based on the TSB about 1 yr ago. This sucks.

Was the driver spring installed on driver side and the passenger on the passenger side? The front springs states where they go. Good place to check in case you had a shop install them.
 
I asked my Dealer who installed them and they said yes- I did hvae them powder coated in Red so the evidence is gone. What is the differnce between the two front springs. Are the Rears different as well?
 
The rears are the same. The front aren’t.
This has been resolved. My dealer swappped the front springs and everything is now within .25" Back to Front and .215 right to left. This is with 3/4 a tank of gas. Sure enough the right front Eibach was on the wrong side. Once swapped the measurements were good.
Dealer made the change at no cost.

So did you get the trimming done? Or did you take the spacers out? I'm considering your exact setup and wondering how it went.

Summer has been crazy and I’ve been living with the rub… trimming seams like a chore, and will likely go back to stock offset.

I removed the front spacers. Rub free.
