Mine have been sitting in a box while I figure out how to get the truck up high enough to install them lol. These things are HUGE!

Just jack from the frame enough to have the tire slightly off the ground. Use a spring compressor.

I know right? Plus my buddy smacked his shin into it right after this picture.

Yeah, that's certainly an option, I just HATE spring compressors. I try to use them as little as possible, I feel like I'm handling live ordinance.

Are you stock in the front, or rolling the Eibach’s up front as well?

We’ve had every eibach spring made for the TRX.

Currently, 2.7” eibach fronts and 2.6” eibavh HD rears

I just picked them up and had them installed. I love them.

The truck is bit more floaty and considering getting 37s as the 35s, though still look good, look a tad small with the HD rears and regular Eibach's in the front, but I'm extremely happy. Makes the truck look MEAN and good performance.

Have yet to tow my travel trailer with it yet, but my overland set-up in the back looks like it has zero weight with these beasts installed.

I installed my springs and went up Saints John Pass with a decked system and a camper shell, the springs did great!

I had a spring compressor grenade on me while installing a ReadyLift lift kit on my 2019 GMC AT4. It sounded about like a shotgun went off unexpectedly. I was wearing safety glasses and gloves and thankfully wasn’t hurt. Other than a professional floor mount style strut compressor, I will never use the shitty pathetic all thread portable style ever again.

Haha thanks man! I'll submit it for sure, that trail was a lot of fun.

I ended up buying a kit off amazon that has a locking feature. It's less sketchy than anything else I've used, but is still kinda sketchy. I just aim it carefully.

Mine arrived yesterday, does anyone know if its safe to powder coat over the top or if they need to be / can be blasted and then coated?

I don't see any reason why not, Just need to make sure whoever does the coating does it right, the amount of flex on a spring will often crack poorly done coatings.

Can you post a pic? Interested to see what that setup looks like.

Stock wheels and tired? What front springs?

Yea, I had a set of 37s and Vossen wheels I was going to run but the shop that was mounting and balancing them screwed up and they didn't get done before we left on the trip. The tires are original and have 40k miles and I was mildly worried about them lol. Stock front springs (for now) as well.
