Eibach shocks/level - WOW

[Grape_Ape]

So clip 3 plus ORG gave you almost 3”?

Thanks. Eibach makes things so confusing.

Yep, I believe when I was deciding everything that I went for a total of 2.8". somewhere along the way I'd read that more than 3" of lift would cause issues unless remedied by additional suspension equipment.

Check out this post and the one below it.

Reviving once again.

Front of mine is set to clip 3, 1.8”. It’s a 4x4. I ordered ORG coils for the front and rear. If I leave the front on clip 3 and add ORG, it should be lifted to 2.8”, correct?

On the sheets that Eibach sends out, for 4x4 it shows clip 4 at 1.8”. With me adding the longer coils, do I need to adjust the front clip to the highest setting or leave it on clip 3 to achieve the 2.8 inch lift I am going for?

Clip#1...0.0" (ORP...1.0")
Clip#2...0.6" (ORP...1.6")
Clip#3...1.2" (ORP...2.2")
Clip#4...1.8" (ORP...2.8")

If you are on Clip#3, you are at 1.2".
If you add ORP to Clip #3, you are 2.2".
If you're looking for 2.8", go to Clip#4 and the ORP...but the ride comfort will be brutal and horrible with that ton of preload on the ORP spring!!
I recently added the Eibachs to my Laramie G/T..I started out with adding ORPs on Clip#1...so only 1" lift. The ride was exactly like OEM, no loss of ride quality at all.
But, I wanted my truck leveled (I had 1.75" rake from factory, 0.75" after the swap), so I redid the whole thing a couple weeks later and moved up to Clip#2 with the ORPs...so now 1.625" lift, and almost perfectly level.
The truck looks perfect, but even preloading the ORP by one clip (0.6") definitely gave up some comfort! It's been a month or so now and the front end has loosened up just a bit and is closer to OEM comfort again (front hasn't sagged at all, just pressure seem smoother).
I honestly can't imagine even trying to compress an ORP onto Clip#4 perch on the Eibach strut!!
I think if you're looking for 2.5-3.0" lift, you gotta look at Fox PE or King or ??
Just trying to help you avoid poor ride, control, etc.

Interesting that they changed from this graphic apparently.



With brand new ORG springs and 3rd clip I got 2.75" of lift on my truck at time of installation.

The graph you're showing is the 2WD graph.
The graph I posted shows the 2WD numbers on the Left side (same as your graph) and 4WD numbers on the Right side.

Yea I get what you're saying but I'm also telling you I got 2.75" of lift with a 1" spring and clip 3 on my 4x4 truck.

Measurements on my truck right now have the front at 38.25 inches on the FDS, 38.75 FPS, rears are both 39.75. I honestly can’t remember the measurements before I had them installed last year.

Shop told me I could go up an additional setting to the top so I am on clip 3 according to them.

I swear I have read others stating these set at 1.8” with ORG will reach 2.8”, no one states clip 3 or 4 however.

My experience is that the ORPs are exactly 1" over non-ORPs..when properly indexed from the chart I'm adding.
My other experience is that Eibachs numbers (0.0", 0.6", 1.2", 1.8") are spot on.
My other, other experience is that combining the ORP and Eibach numbers add up spot on also (at least for Clip#1/ORP..1"0", and Clip#2/ORP...1.625"

My Laramie G/T was 37.0" Front and 38.625" Rear OEM. With ORPs and Eibach struts on Clip#2 (1.625"), I am leveled at 38.625" Front and Rear now.
