285/75/18 Falken Wildpeak ATs

[CSTCDR]

I just got done with my install. Went with the 285/75/18 verse 35x12.50 tires. I also did the Eiback strut and spring combo. The stance is exactly what I was after and the ride is amazing. The only negative is fuel mileage has dropped to 13.5 verse 16.5.

Looks fantastic!

Doesn't the speedo need recalibrated to get accurate fuel mileage readings now

Yeah. I think most people do that with forscan. I swap back and forth so often, I just guess at it.

How does it ride with the Eibach suspension?

Did you do the install at the same time as the tires? Wondering if you ran the shocks and springs with stock tires at all.

Thanks for the info!

Ok, I reached out to Eibach today to ask a few questions. I wasn’t real clear on how much lift is achieved with their shocks / spring set up. Did they ship them separate? Or did they ship them complete as a full strut assembly?

Also, would you mind sharing if the ride if about like factory? Or stiffer? Thanks for all the help!

They shipped the springs struts separate. You have to use the stock lower spring plate and upper tower. If installing yourself a good spring compressor is needed (don’t use the harbor freight ones as they will scratch the spring). The Eibach spring at the lowest setting you get 2.7 inches of lift. Their strut with the stock spring comes in at 2.5.

As far as the ride is didn’t notice much of difference over stock but I also installed within a 1,000 miles of purchase. I rides amazing and is very comfortable on the highway and absorbs bumps without jarring the truck. Overall very pleased with this upgrade.

After military discount and shipping it was about 425 to the door. Took me about 3 hours to install.

Anyone around central Missouri with forscan that can help me out on this? Thanks

I’m not near there or would help you.

There is a whole thread on Forscan that I just read and took the dive on. It’s been good… took some time to read it, then install windows on my Mac laptop, but it went fairly easy actually.

Highly recommend it.

Did you keep the rear at factory height?
