2025 Suspension Upgrade / Level / ORG/ LOTS OF QUESTIONS!!

[Mr. Sunshine]

Where did you get them installed? I live just north of Detroit up 75 about 45 min/ Also what setting did you put the front at? I know they can go up to 3.0-3.2"

3" is the max. going up more than 3" you'll risk overextending your CV when the suspension droops.
even at 3" the CV is not at the optimal ride height angle. As in, yes it will work, but also yes, you can prematurally wear your CV axles.

i'd recommend do 2.5" if you gonna go offroad and let the suspension cycle instead of 3". That half an inch at ride height does make a difference.

Howdy, I got the Eibach set from a retailer online for a really good discount. Most dealers charge $175/hr + but my preferred dealer installs for around $100/hr. So I go there pretty much all the time. They know their stuff and they protect for warranty/lease return when I want to take parts off.

If needed, DM me and I can share a contact. Not going to out them on public forum, no offense.

A little more experience and having moved some heavier stuff in the bed: the rear springs seem to compress more than OE ORG springs. Not a surprise based on reviews, but real world experience. I had the bed loaded pretty full over the weekend and the nose went up. I'll have to keep an eye on the settings in the front and decide if a little less lift if I keep hauling more.

This is my hesitation on the Eibach or any rear coil lift for me. I am coming from a 2500 but I had no idea how much the factory 1500 rear coils would squat. I do not have the ORG on my Night edition Bighorn and when I haul my SXS or boat it squats pretty bad. I was looking at the Eibach 2/1” to give me the level and an extra inch in the rear but didn’t know how soft the coils would be compared to stock. I love the ride of the stock springs ( better than the 2500 ride) but not sure Ill gain much with the inch lift if they are softer than factory. I wonder if It would be better for me to look for factory ORG coils if they give an extra inch over non ORG coils.

Bag it. $130 on Amazon. Fix you right up for hauling and towing. Air down and get all the benefits of the offroad coils.

It’s an option but I have had airbags on three other trucks. I don’t tow all the time and even though minimum air pressure is low I still feel like it stiffens the rear up too much. I have looked into SUMO and Timbrens as well. I was just hoping the Eibach was at least the same stiffness as factory springs but gave the extra 1 inch height.

They're progressive. The deeper in the stroke you go the stiffer they get. But they're for off roading not towing or hauling. Sorry. Just so you know, when I air the bags down They are not stiff.

This was my last one. Trying to do better this time. I added ORG rear springs, Bilstein 5100 front leveling and Wildpeak 295/70/18 on TRX wheels. I liked it but it never really felt just right. Maybe it needed an another inch lift or something. Or the tires were just a little heavy, not sure. Either way, I guess we learn from practice.....

What setting did you put clip on and did you replace your upper control arms
