Eibach Springs Lift 1.6 vs 2.7?!?

[TRX_760]

I have had the 1.6 front only since the original release date. Love the way the truck rides since! No issues at all either. This pic is on a sloped drive way. But when I’m flat ground perfect level. View attachment 100918

how much they charge to install? Looks good!

Thanks!
I had a local fab shop put the fronts on last year they charged about $200. Since then I have added the rears as well. They charged like $250 to do the rear springs and a behind the grill light bar.

I have the 2.7 and 1.5. Ride is better than stock. Iv had them about a month

I just purchased the 1.6. No review yet

Installed. Other forum post impressions on the eibach installs are similar, can vouch its very subjective. Too early to call for me on “worth it”.
Day 1 impressions -

1. Fit in Garage (unfortunately that was the max height so 37’s are out if i want to garage)
2. Low speed ride quality concerning after fitst 30 miles (bumpier). Seems to be setting and getting better after 30.
3. Highway speed ride quality 100% better. Feel bumps but not in a bad way. Definitely feel more control/safe for any evasive maneuvers.
4. Curves are less (for 35’s) “point, guess, and pray”. I do have both F and R Hellwig sways which already made the maneuvering night/day better.
5. Turning and “rocking” are 100% better. Less rock-n-roll or “bobbing” effect. Huge win in addition to the sway bar that had already cut that down but nothing like the springs.

Will provide a 500 mile review accordingly. I did pay a premium for the dealer to install to ensure accountability is sustained at my local dealer so installation/alignment were not a “concern”. I paid too much but you have to pay to play in this game. Protect the investment is all you can do while upgrading and adding risk in the process.

I put Eibach 1.6" springs on the front yesterday. I'm pretty underwhelmed with the outcome. The truck still looks ass high to me. The front did come up ~1.5" though as advertised. I'll be swapping the springs out for the 2.7" or perch collars in the near future once I get the wheels and tires on and reassess. I would like to get the truck to sit similar to my Raptor. Granted it's probably a little nose high for some but I prefer a more pre-runner like stance.

As far as ride goes, it's as floaty and bouncy as stock. So if you're worried about losing your stock ride you won't be disappointed.

Also, I've gotten on it pretty hard and haven't noticed any additional squirrelyness or torque steer. 40psi cold in the tires. I'm thinking aftermarket tires are the culprit of that issue or maybe it's suspension + tires.

Did you ever swap out the fronts for the 2.7 springs? My 1.6 fronts are ready to install and I'm worried to death that it will be nose high. Currently I'm 40" ground to bottom of front fender up front and 41" in the rear. It's hard to wrap my head around the front coming up 1.6" and looking level. The math ain't mathing haha!

I'm waiting for Black Friday sales this week to buy 2.7" springs. My truck still looks ass high and measures ass high with the 1.6" springs. You'll probably be happy with the results. Worse case scenario you can just add the 1.5" springs to the rear and keep the same the stance as stock, just higher.

Adding the rears is the plan if I don't like the results from the 1.6" fronts. The guy from 797 Performance was very helpful when I called him on Friday. My order arrived in 2 days and with their sale only ran $355 shipped.

Thanks for the kind words about us! We are here to help any other member if needed.

Installed 2.5" front only. I think it levels it out quite nice. Ride is much better. Got rid of the shock "pop" sound. 10/10. I ordered and picked up the springs directly from Eibach and recieved a pretty healthy discount, early black Friday discount I guess.

Makes zero sense why the 2.7" front only springs look SO GOOD on there. Still appears to have a slight rake somehow and looks perfect
