update after driving it 200+ miles
It is much smoother than my old set up. Bumps are still there but they're not longer jarring as they were before. I'm very pleased with the ride quality.
The one problem is that the front springs have settled to to 21.5/21.75, so about 1.5 inch lift.
I knew I wasn't going to get the full 2.75 since I have a C4 hybrid bumper and 9.5 winch but after speaking with Eibach I was left with the impression that it would sag less than the stock suspension did.
Stock suspension sagged 1/2", this is sagging >1".
I'm not happy with this outcome as I naturally have more rubbing now than before. I plan to remove the mudflap tomorrow and see if that's better.
I don't care that it's lower than I expected, I care that it's rubbing more and that I’ve lost over an inch of travel.
So, for those of you that have added weight up front, I suggest going up to the Toytec Boss suspension. You'll get the same ride quality but be able to adjust the coilerovers to accommodate the extra weight.

Just set it on the second clip to offset the weight.
That's not possible to do while the shock is on the truck is it?
I know I'd have to disconnect the lca from the rotor assembly and sway bar and I assume I'd have to just pull the entire shock out and then have someone with a spring compressor do it.
At that point, I may has well drive it up to Toytec and have them handle all of it. LOL.

Hey Ryan! I been following this thread for a while. Patiently waiting for my kit to arrive hoping it shipped on the 27th.
Can you help with my order?
I ordered through JEGS back end of Aug...

Thai? It's been released to our warehouse for shipment. Will probably take day or two.

It's just an OE mount so you can get it anywhere. We do not offer it.

does anyone here happen to have their old oem suspension top mounts that they wouldn't mind getting rid of? TIA

Honestly, new is $19 each. Don't go cheap.

I bought a pair and gave to Eibach when they did my install.

actually i'm trying to avoid going cheap by trying to get oem ones that are lightly used. I'm not sure about the quality of the kyb ones...

If you order from toytec you can get it assembled with the mounts, they charge shipping, but if you use the discount code 10650, it will come to like 882 shipped... Which is only about 50 dollars more than from eibach directly, And they are already ASSEMBLED. Which is a good deal, especially when you consider the top hat kit on amazon will cost you about 37 dollars for both sides.

Well order at least 30 days BEFORE YOU DECIDE, as they are popular [emoji16]

Ok, I’m planning on ordering the Eibach kit in the next month or so. I’m sold on everything I’ve heard so far.
Will I need UCA’s for this kit as well? Any issues with the ride or alignment after?
I would like a little more height in the back. I don’t mind a little rake. I was thinking a 1/2 to 3/4 Cornfed spacer in the back. Is that the best way to go about this? Thanks in advance.

Here are a few I found in the thread. I do plan to make sure I get all available lift out of the front, so I want to make sure the back is in step.
Please note I'm not blasting anyone's trucks here, just looking for a little more lift in the rear than these seem to have.
