Eibach Pro-truck lift

[DenverTiger504]

I believe the wheelers spring is a rebranded eibach spring and it is coated a different color. I would not get your hopes up about the wheelers spring being any different from this eibach spring. I think the majority of springs we see in T4R aftermarket applications are made by eibach. I have slight rake with the eibach spring and it levels out when loaded with camping gear.

Also, keep in mind the photos are taken right after installation. The front settles after a couple of weeks.

A few months ago someone on this thread measured the wheelers spring to the eibach spring; they were identical in length.

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.

Aftermarket UCA's are not needed.

I too thought about a rear spacer. The group here convinced me to wait till I had the lift installed and re-evaluate then. Now that it's on I don't see a need for a spacer. Truck looks just fine.

The ride is awesome. Huge improvement over factory. No issues with alignment - other than it does need to be professionally aligned.

I've been away from the site, and this thread, for most of the summer. Anyone know the status on the adjustable rear adjustable-spring-thingy that Eibach was working on?

You didn't miss much. Thank Energy Suspension. They have been a nightmare to deal with on this project. Once again, ENERGY SUSPENSION.

Yes, I hope ENERGY SUSPENSION sees this....

Is the concept dead or will you be sourcing a new vendor?

Not dead, just delayed. We're still moving forward. It's just disappointing because these should be in stock by now. We're being completely let down by a company we've worked with for over 20 years.

Just got the Wheelers springs (T12). Heres a side by side with the Eibach kit. Maybe you're thinking of the T13.

Yes, correct. I think the T13 which is marketed for 1.5” is same in length as this eibach pro rear 1” spring.

LF-A: 38⁹/¹⁶

RF-B: 34 ¹⁵/¹⁶
RF-A: 38⅜

RL-B: 36⁹/¹⁶

I would think this is the bottom... Especially since you have more lift than advertised.

 

[jeroweezy]

recommended is at bottom notch right?

 

[TRD_Patriot_1776]

Agreed. I spoke to the place that installed it and they said to bring it back next week and they would have to take it back off to make the adjustments and do a realignment.

Ryan, is this true or is their an easier way to make adjustments?

Also, would it be correct to assume measuring from the top line to the bottom line will tell me how much height I will loose after adjustment to lower line?

Any KDSS guys running this rear spring? Any issues with leaning after the install? And do these actually lift a vehicle 1 inch as opposed to 1.5-2 inches?

I can't say I've read every post in this thread but darn near most. Many questions relate to the perch settings. I couldn't wrap my head around how the lowest setting was going get get the max claimed 2.5" lift. How would the other settings not provide higher lift?

I'll attempt to explain so others in my shoes may have a better understanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong and of course disregard lol.

Many of us are comparing and shopping the Eibach kit against the Bilstein 5100's as apple's to apples. This Eibach kit comes with a taller than factory spring which would provide a lift if even just mounted on a factory shock, whereas with the 5100 the lift comes solely from the perch settings using a regular factory length coil. Kind of apples and oranges.

Obviously if you you use the higher settings on the Eibach it will lift it higher, but that is only designed to compensate for additional weight of accessories such as bumpers. Winches etc.

In order to get the maximum advertised lift out of the 5100's you HAVE to use the upper setting.

How'd I do???
