I like that Bilstein offers more adjustability, but they are out of stock nearly everywhere. Eibach, are the same price. Would love (I know there is probably no chance) to hear from someone who has run both. Wondering how the ride quality is with Eibach's and why one would chose one over the other.
 
I just had it installed (The full kit, struts/shocks and springs).
Loving the ride, very minor difference in ride quality, mainly when you hit road imperfections it feels sharper and more controlled.
I can recommend them based on the whole kit setup.
 
That sounds similar to my experience with the Bilstein 5100 when Ii ran them on F150. Do you have any pictures?
 
I just put eibachs on last week. Setting 3 which is 1.8” of lift along with my orp springs. So far, I love the ride. Chose them mainly because I couldn’t find bilsteins in stock anywhere. Glad I did so far !
 
Waiting on mine right not from realtruck. Should’ve gone th eibach direct way because they order them from there too so they just middle man

I wanted that kit too but it’s only for 2wd so I went with this eibach set up with my ORP springs. Heard they were just light the 5100 and They are fairly cheap price wise so they’ll do until I want to upgrade in the future

Awesome! Are you gonna stick a spacer in the front or rear springs ?

No spacers in the front, with th ORP springs and the clip set at 1.8 I should get almost 3in front and leaving th rear springs alone as well unless I see I need them then I’ll order some.. looking to fit 295 or 285 /65/20 ridge grapplers on fuel rebels. The tires are hard to come buy at a cheap price, might end up with ko2s from Costco for 1500

Gotcha. No orp springs here so am prob gonna need a 1 inch spacer. Let me know how it comes out
 
I did the first notch on the front and will say it looks to have a tad rake. Then I look at it other days and it looks fine.
I say if you want a more leveled look go with notch 2 for those with regular 2wd and lift springs.


I did both struts and springs.
 
1.8 with ORP. Rides just the same as the 5100’s on my 4th Gen.

Sharp truck! What are you hub to fender measurements now?
 
Would love to know the measurements also. I have an orp truck and when I was ready to purchase Bilstein seems to have gone on a national back order. So came back here to do some research on these. I plan to lift at 1.8" in the front and swap the rears. I'd like to add a 1" coil spacer to the rear as well to keep a little rake. Thoughts from guys with the orp springs? Think it is necessary?
