Has anyone used the Eibach pro stage 1 kit?
I've got a 2k1 sr5 4wd, going to lift it. I've been toying around with many combinations, however it's go time I think. I saw this kit and it.looked to be pretty good. I've used their lowering springs for a mustang I have and the ride seems to be fairly good, but I know we're going the opposite direction here. This will be a daily driver and I'll be putting on a set of 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Just your thoughts and opinions. I'm also considering the Bilstein 5100's all around with OME springs as well. Again with it not going off road its for asthetics and tire size ability. My thoughts are more about ride comfort since it won't see pretty much anything else.

I haven't bought them yet, I'm wondering if they are a viable option for a good lift

The Eiback Pro Truck kit?
Plenty of us running it, including me, and love it.
The Eibachs ride smoother than Bilsteins.
Search Eibach Pro Truck Lift on here, there is an entire thread on it.

Forgot to measure, but its about an inch in the back, and the front sits nice and level with my added weight of the bumper and winch.
I am on the 3rd groove from the bottom, if you dont have the added weight, you are probably better off at the second from bottom groove to be level.

I did read the thread and there's a lot of good info on it. I'm going to have the fronts built for me with all new hardware. I would do it myself but I caught a good discount so it's actually worth them doing it. Price vs time, I'm actually making out better. Yeah I don't have front weight so I guess the third groove would make it nose high then. I could add trim Packers to rear to level it that way too?

I've had mine on for almost a year now and really like them. Only complaint is that my rear still sags. Even when I'm not hauling anything.
Battleborn has them right now for less that 600$. everywhere else is running about 700+

Oh man, it was just $560 I think! My buddy bought one.
Just checked with him and they are saying it's on backorder, so I wonder if they jumped the price because of that.

I bought the kit from Wheel Well last Halloween using their coupon code. I got it for $593 I think, with free shipping. It was considerably cheaper than anywhere else at the time and other places wanted to charge for shipping.
I now have about 4k miles on the kit and I like it. It looks good with my 275/70 on stock 5 spokes and rides well for a daily driver. I would say the back can still sag kind of easy when loaded up but it's not really an issue for me. I'm still going to add air bags for when I go camping or tie a trailer.
No regrets.

If you call Eibach direct they are on back order but some internet resellers have them and about $750 is average from what I'm seeing.
