Eibach pro truck stage 2 R

You posted this at exactly the time I was starting to look into replacing suspension components on my '19. I don't think the factory setup is worn out yet but I'd like to swap for something nicer before they start causing issues.

Have you towed with the 2R kit yet? My current boat is only ~3k lbs on the trailer but will be moving up to another that's ~8500 lbs.

What did you end up with? And are you happy with it?

Just did a search for the Stage 2R on the Eibach website and it says the Pro Truck Stage 2R is not available anymore for some reason. Its not that there out of stock but "not available". Anyone know whats going on? The Stage 1 and Stage 2 are still available just not the Stage 2R.

Probably prepping for the new 2.5" Series(??)..should be soon.

I called them Monday to ask about this. I was told they weren't happy with some things on the 2R for 4x4. They are re working them but they will be delayed due to the 2.5's coming out shortly. His rough ETA for the 2R 4x4 is 7-9 months.

Not sure, but we have them in stock. I would be more than glad to get you taken care of on a kit shipped to your doorstep!

2.5s will probably be quarter 1 of next year. They are releasing the F150 2.5 kits first

Yes i have towed 3k with them, don't feel any difference in towing with these vs the rear 5100s. I do also have a hellwig swaybar which makes a huge difference in handling loaded and unloaded.

I took a look at the site, the 2R is on there. I spoke to my rep and he said it's always been available and has not heard of them not being happy the 2R. Maybe your browser was being funky??

Hey brother thanks for the informative video and all the help in this thread. Do you know what the difference will be with 2.5 kit expected in q1 2026? Just got a new ram and want to level it but not in a huge hurry.

Thanjs

The biggest difference will be the shock body size of the current stage 2 kit and the new 2.5s. Stage 2 being a 2" shock body vs the 2.5s being a 2.5" shock body. The only real benefit you will gain is the offroad performance. The 2.5s will be exponentially better on the mid to higher speed offroad segment. As far as on road ride, there really won't be an advantage with the 2.5s.

If you don't plan on doing any mid to higher speed offroading, I would stick with the current stage 2 kit.

I am wanting to get this setup now, the 2R's over the other set, how do you think the rear shocks with the reservoirs will hold-up in -40C here in Canada? Or do you think i should just get the stage 2's instead of the 2R.

Eibach will recommend the Stage 2 over 2R if only on road..the standard inverted Rear shock is more compliant then the 2R, even though the standard is digressive valved and the 2R is linear valves, they still suggest standard 2 Rear over 2R Rear.

Thank you for that, I went and purchased the stage 2 coilovers today, instead of the 2R

I'm running the standard inverted Rear S2 and have been told by three different Eibach techs over the last few months to not switch to the 2R, so haven't.
They like a little bit of weight in the bed to make them ride the best. I have a 60lb sand tube (two would actually be better yet) in the bed right behind the axle center (it's winter in Wisconsin), I run the rear tires about 3-4 psi less than the fronts, and I have my truck level lifted..and that gives the best ride to/for me.
A side benefit is that the 2R Rear is sprung weight on the rear suspension whereas the inverted Rear is unsprung weight..not that either is very heavy, but still
Let us know your thoughts on the Stage2 once you've got them installed.

Thanks for that, definitely will give everyone an update once all parts are in and installed. Give my before and after thoughts.
