Eibach E60-27-011-03-10 - Height Adjustable Shocks Installation/Discussion

[Grape_Ape]

We've got a ton of different threads surrounding the Bilstein 5100s but almost nothing about the Eibach Pro-Truck Sport Shocks that are height adjustable just like the Bilsteins. The Eibach's have a height adjustment of 0-2.75" and can be paired with Eibach springs.

They can be found here : https://eibach.com/us/2274/E60-27-011-03-10-RAM-1500-pro-truck-sport-shock



I will be having these installed when I drop off my truck tomorrow for a resolution to Spring-Gate 2020 (Built to Serve trucks not being built with the proper ORP springs). I'll return with a review and more photos after. I'll also be paring them with the MOPAR UCAs from the MOPAR 2" kit. With my proper springs and the Eibachs set at 1.8" I'm expecting to see my front end rise about 3" from where it sits currently bringing me in to about 0.5" of rake.

I ran this kit on my GMC when they released it back in the day, great kit. I’m holding out for their pro truck coilovers kit for my Rebel.

Haha I actually came across your video on YouTube!

The 5100s on setting 4 left me with about a 1/2 inch of rake. Im interested to see how the eibachs work out, ill be watching. Are you doing tires and wheels?

 

[Grape_Ape]

Nah, I'll be leaving the stock wheels on permanently. My intentions are to get some new tires next yr when I've put 10-15k on the OEM ones.

I hit 10k on the Falkens so i figured i would take them off while i can still get a couple bucks for them. The new tires totally changed the appearance of the truck in a great way, they also drive better then the falkens. Im looking forward to getting them offroad in the snow

How did you get the Eibach's? I was told by a vendor that Eibach would not be able to send these kits out until at least the beginning of next year. I actually paid for them before the vendor apparently found out he couldn't get them and I had to change course.

And I also have the Built to Serve edition

I have their rear shocks and springs in the back of my truck. They work awesome with no issues at all. I got 0.75” lift in the back with springs and shock partnership. Their website states up to 1” of lift but I got .75”.

I don't think your vendor understands what he's talking about because if you follow that link you can purchase them directly from Eibach - which is exactly how I got mine.

You may be thinking of the coil overs which are not out yet.

Yeah my bad. I was talking about the full kit with the springs and all. After I sent that, I realized you were just talking about the shocks. I’m currently reading the 33 pages of Spring-gate for our BTS trucks and I’m feeling a little gipped...

No problem and I completely understand. Luckily we’ve been through all the hard part and it should be fairly easy for you to get the right springs by getting in touch with Debbie. I have seen on Facebook where someone mentioned there was a technical bulletin sent out about the springs so it may be even easier now. Feel free to post in the thread or send me a message if you need more info on how to get that taken care of.

Well, I finally got my correct springs installed as well as these Eibachs. I really like them. The handling feels much more controlled and bumps feel better. Ride is a little stiffer but I prefer it. Top photo is today after the install. Then there's a picture of my truck next to what I think is a stock rebel.

Truck looks great!

Do you know if the Eibachs can be set on the max setting with the ORP springs?

I don’t think it would be wise to do so. Also with Bilstein saying not to use the 6th and 7th position on their shocks makes me feel that way about the Eibachs. Max setting is 2.5” of average lift. So with the ORP springs you’re looking at 3.5” total. I suppose you could do it but you’d definitely want to change your UCA to something aftermarket.

That looks great man. I contacted Ram Care on Saturday, and I was already being contacted by the infamous Debbie by Monday. My truck is going into the dealership tomorrow so they can verify my springs and then get the right ones ordered. Since they have to remove the front springs anyway, I'm gonna see if they'll just throw on my Bilstein 6112's instead. I mean it's essentially the exact same amount of work!

What setting are you planning with the 6112s? Im itching to pull the trigger on them
