I thought that too, as did a Wheelers sales rep. I contacted the manufacturer to double check, they claimed "it would be level". Like i said previously, i haven't made the settled measurements, but to the eye, everything appears level.
Can u measure front and back when u get a chance?
Very interested in settled measurements (and more pics) when time allows! I have a '15 SR5P and am getting ready to jump on either the Bilstein 5100s all the way around or this Eibach Pro Lift. Like others, vendor measurements concern me re: reverse rake. I tow a 3000 lb boat all summer which is currently no problem. As soon as the truck/boat is loaded with people and gear, sag occurs. I want to correct that - not add to it with the Eibach set up. Thanks for these posts, guys. I'm addicted and learning a ton!

Looks great. Are you running 285s on there? I am installing the same lift today. Price point seems great for the parts you get.

Is this plug and play or are other upgrades needed like UCAs?

As far as I know, just install and align.
I actually had Eibach do mine (I&A). Didn't see the before/after readings, but I will say after 1.5 months of daily driving it, i'm not seeing any abnormal wear, and no wandering/float on the freeway; factory UCA.

I put this set up on a few weeks ago, am I’m very happy with it. I’ll write a full review of it as soon as I have some time to get pictures together. It’s a pretty new system to the market, but it’s a well known company and someone has to be the first to jump in the pool!
I feel as though it rides better then stock. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about 5100 feeling stiff, and I get none of that. I have 500 miles on it now and the front seems to have settled a bit. I also haven’t tested them much off pavement yet.
Day of install:
After settling (posing next to [MENTION=139460]Terra Firma[/MENTION] with his Icon Stage II):
So far, I would highly suggest if you’re looking for a good ride, slight lift & level. You only need what comes in the kit, no diff drop or anything else.

So you have the front set to 1.4" or 2.5"? With no lift in the rear?
Im looking to do the 1.4" setting as a easy leveling kit.

If you are looking to level without lift, I'd suggest looking at different options. This is a kit that comes with shocks and coils, it's the coils that will give you the lift... not where you set the adjustment on your front shock. That is meant for accounting extra weight such as a winch or bumper. There are a few ways of leveling without lifting, a few searches on this site will lead you down the right path.
What comes in the box is all you need! They made it so it functions with all the stock aspects of the truck. So yes, plug and play away.
Also, it’s possible to fit 285/70 tires on. Will require some trimming to get rid of rubbing (dont think a BMC will be necessary)

Spring rate?
Damn, this eibach kit is growing on me more and more, especially at that price tag. Was looking into Bilstein 6112/5160 with wheelers, but I might change my mind.
Does anyone know what the spring rate is for the front springs? Couldn't find any info on it. I'm guessing 600#?
Thanks for those who posted pics/info! Any other pics and info is much appreciated! :rockon:

Eibach Lift
So I just got done with my install and so far I am very happy. I like the hieght and the ride is great. Really good parts from Eibach. Went with Falken AT3 in 285s and got zero rub. First time posting pics so I hope this works.

Awesome! Is there a little bit of a reverse rake or is it pretty level?

No reverse rake. Its a little higher in the rear. Not sure why my pics are up and down.
Not required yet until you go over the 3 inches. Then you will need Uca's and a diff drop kit.

Did you order your Falken's or buy them local?
Looks great, any difference in height after the springs settled?
