Alright - so here goes.
After a solid 5-6 weeks of researching, reading, listening etc - I decided to go the Eibach route for my truck. Part of the decision was if I bought it out from lease or went new. Well - bought it out - for many solid reasons but not the point here.
I contemplated top hats in the front, Mopar lift (w fox etc), Bilstein, Eibach etc... lots of ways to get depending on the desired end state.
My end state was - close to leveled - slight rake. Better ride quality (or at minimum nice as stock).
Bilstien out of stock when I decided I would go new shocks frt/rear and use the adjustable spring perch plus better than stock struts/shocks to accomplish my goal. So in researching deeper, Eibach landed right on the same radar screen. AND in stock. PLUS - American designed and mfg - not a priority but what a nice bonus.
Shop guy has done a lot of suspension and considers Bilstein as the gold standard for aftermarket upgrades to suspension. When he got the shocks in the shop and researched further - as he put it - "these things are beautiful and not to nerd on it - but made in the USA"
Install went great and the outcome in ride quality is simply better than hoped. I went second clip from highest to maintain a little rake but get a better profile. I went w Stock springs per some very solid and responsive feedback from Eibach... made in USA and you can buy direct and contact them direct - they answer phone and email in record time. Part of what solidified my decision to buy.
Ride quality when put to the test is simply undeniably better every where and in every way. Seriously - it handles every road surface, imperfections and rough stuff better.
If you were thinking Bils... consider the Eibach. I get nothing from stating this and not affiliated in any way. Just one heck of a pleased consumer! Will post pics once I get a chance!!
