Eibach 2.5’s?

Looks like it’s happening.
This is going to be very interesting when they hit they market.

So up to 4" on standard trucks would mean2.25-2.5" on the tremor, to keep optimum travel

I wouldn’t get them yet. A few of us have been in contact with a reputable shock supplier that has said the dampening on the 2.5’s isn’t dialed in yet and in their words.. “They will basically never stop moving on a flat road and it gets super exhausting. If you have any experience with cheap performance car coilovers where your man boobs are just jiggling nonstop, that is what they are like. So I am a little hesitant to recommend them until we get confirmation they actually fixed the issue.”

Rumor is they may revalve In a few months if you can wait…

I got a very similar email with a few more colorful choice desciptions of "titty shake".. LOL... depending on who you have riding with you, the 2.5R kit might not be a bad option!! Jiggle Jiggle.

I felt the same way. I wrote up a much longer post somewhere but it really comes down to what you intend on doing and expect from suspension. Tires are going to make it the most quiet/comfortable ride on pavement. Suspension fills the gap for potholes and undulations. Load C for max comfort, and something like a toyo trail, not too aggressive.

Suspension from what I could research in the sub $1500ish range specifically:

• Tow/haul capability & high speed offroad = Bilstein 6100 front 5100 rear
• Comfort on road & slow speed off-roading = Eibach 2R

Beyond that Icon for max road comfort, King for max offroad performance. Fox's from what I saw kept landing in that 50% love em 50% said for the money they should be better.

Well Said!! Lots of options- you just gotta know the limitations and how you plan to use your truck. I always tend to overshoot and end up never using it how I intended. Better to have and not use it then to not have and can't use it at all. That's how I justify my Compulsive disorder to buy more upgrades!! LOL..

Ugh, you're telling me. Just got Kings installed last night lol but I do intend to use it. Running Lytle Creek, CA this weekend after running it last weekend and bottoming out on literally everything. Redemption time.

Nice!! Have you seen Country Slicker on Youtube? that dude uses his tremor!! and he runs that dude mostly stock.. Love the area he is in.

…….Nothing wrong with watching them shake especially when you’re looking up at them because they’re on a slight incline.

Nobody mentions Halo anymore. What’s up with those?

Yes I've seen a lot of his mod videos but not many offroad videos, I'll check it out!

Personally, I value the availability of a local support network and the serviceability it provides. King, Deaver, and Shock Surplus are all local. Halo's support network appears to be more limited, resulting in increased downtime. If I were in Colorado and near their shop in Brighton, I'd definitely go with them. They seem like genuine people who want to do right by their products and the community they stand with.

Most of Halo stuff is elka shocks, so great quality, it all depends on what you want, elka and eibach are probably the best all arounders on the market, for the price range but elka does offer some high end shocks that are fantastic whereas eibach is the working man's best bet, they are good for what they do and not over expensive or complicated. 90% of the people need anything more than the simplest of shocks, but any aftermarket shock will offer benefits over stock.

So let’s say I want a simple upgrade of Halo or Eibach. If I want to bring the front up and have 1-2” of rake do I need upper control arms. Pros cons??

It's all personal choice on that upper control arms will help some but are not required, Ford took lessons learned by Ram with the rebel and used a slightly larger uca to avoid having to change in most cases, as long as you don't increase the front height by more than 2.25", however the 2.5's may require them because of the larger diameter. That's something that will have to be determined

I recently upgraded to Fox 3.0’s on my non tremor f150 with the stock uppers and I’m able to squeeze my fingers in between the coil and arm at full droop and alignment was not a problem. I’m sure with the longer knuckle and stock upper on the tremor it’s not a problem.

If you're just cruising on the street and doing very light off-roading, nothing flexy, I wouldn't worry about this stuff until you have a reason to. If you're serious about off-road performance, then upgrading the UCA is a great idea, especially since they're installing coilovers anyway. That little bit of additional travel, if you're not shock-bound, could be the difference in maintaining traction/braking, and staying safe on the flexy/offcamber stuff.
