Finding a Level to defeat Brake Dive and Body Roll

[derichio02]

Hey All, new to the forum and I'm mostly digging my 2025 Tremor 5.0 402A Picked it up as leftover stock and paired with the employee discount I got 20K off.

That said, I dont love the suspension(too floaty) and I absolutely hate the brake dive. I have been looking at coilover options that dont break the bank. I checked out RC 2.5 Level Kit and Eibach Pro Truck 2/2R (I dont want pucks, Halos, or bilstein).

My goal is more composure, less body roll, and less brake dive. Which one of these will help achieve that?

Note: I will eventually swap to a 35-ish tire so I dont want to limit myself. I like that Eibach comes with front and rear but the lift height is questionable from what I've seen.

We have both Eibach kits in stock that you reference above. We are a RC dealer as well. Let me know what kit you are interested in and I can see if I can get you a deal on it.

Do you have experience with Eibach 2R and the RC Kit?

I'm leaning toward the Eibach Kit but have 2 concerns. 1) will it lessen the brake dive? 2) There have been so many differing posts on the actual lift height achieved. I'm looking for 1.5-2"

As far as the RC Kit, not having any rear shock upgrade I feel I would be in nearly the same boat with brake dive and body roll. Thoughts?

(Note: Also not dissing your Halo Kit, I'm just looking for a stop gap to ensure I want to go further with the truck before do a major suspension overhaul such as Elites or 8112's)

I haven't had much experience with the RC kit, but we can get rear shocks for it. We pair front coilovers and rear shocks together for customers all the time. Neither kit will level your truck out because of the length of the coilovers and the spring rates. Both Eibach and RC uses their normal F-150 suspension that's why it doesn't level out the Tremors because we have a 2 inch rear block from Ford. A non Tremor has a 1.25 rear block so their kits level the trucks out. As far as body roll and everything, both will be a little better than stock. But it won't completely get rid of that unless you do a good front coilover with a strong spring rate.

Then I would save your money and get the better suspension as you mentioned. That's why I always suggest our Tremor Stage 3 kit so then you can set the suspension to exactly what you want. I have the Stage 3 kit on both of my Tremors.

Thanks. It’s not really about saving up the money for it. It’s about not wasting money lol. Much easier to sell a lower priced kit that a higher priced kit. I just want to be sure I’m going to keep the truck, I have a bad habit of switching vehicles often. I’ve had 8 Broncos and they haven’t even been out that many years.

I understand the kits won’t level, I actually want to keep about an 1” or 1.5” in rake.

Sure, dang, I thought I was bad on replacing vehicles! Yeah if you still want that little bit of rake back there then any of the kits you mentioned will for you! Let me know and I would be happy to see if I can get you a deal on it or not.

Holy crap! 8??? Any reason? I know in the beginning they were appreciating in value before the drop off. We were tempted to get rid of ours but I didn't feel like hunting for the replacement.
