Help me level..

[Thundertracks]

Install wasn't bad at all, once I decided to cut off the factory studs on the original shocks. Happy to say that the ride on pavement is improved, actually smooths out irregularities in the road. Overall handling is improved. They were shipped to me set at max lift. The picture shown is with them at max, I adjusted them down a half inch on the coilover which gave me a bit of rake. Be aware that I had replaced the factory Tremor rear blocks 2 years ago with the standard F150 4wd blocks, which are 1 inch less thickness.

Did you do the rears too?

What tires/size

 

[Thundertracks]

Will install them this weekend, went with the standard Eibach shocks not the reservoir shocks. Don't really do anything offroad. Very happy with the front Eibach coilovers, definitely improved the ride and handling on the pavement.

Those prices are hard to believe. The price from CSP racing is good and 112 said he had no problem with his order.

CSP racing has been a pretty good place to order from in the past, the company above if it's legit was probably ordered for a customer and either the customer changed their mind or something.

The other company Fidanza is quoting the deep discounts on the different Eibach items I put in my cart. Maybe they're legit, I don't know. You could try having one of the other companies that you know are legit price match. I did that with Shock Warehouse, they shipped fast 3 days from order date, other company was 2-3 weeks shipping.

That is a great idea.

That is a great idea.

I tried that with stage3performance and they said no go

I agree with you on Stage 3 , they're tough to deal with at times, at least in my experience. Shock Warehouse matched another company's price , saved another 6% . I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that would match those low prices from Fidanza but CSP Racing might discount it a bit more. Doesn't hurt to ask, all they can say is no. Having said all that, the price from CSP Racing is pretty good and Faktor34 said they're legit and 112 had no issues with his order.

Yeah I sent some requests.

Fidenza return policy not great. Will prob go with csp rather than risk a headache.

ShockWarehouse currently lists the Stage 2R set at a discount of 15% off standard, so $1192, and then has a Black Friday deal going right now with code BLACK10 for an additional 10% off. This looks like the lowest price I can find right now. It looks like they’ll charge sales tax which I mention because I think one or two of the other places that are discounting to $1192 don’t, but I’m not sure anywhere charges >10% sales tax so I think still the best deal as of now. Maybe some cyber Monday deals will kick in at other places, but personally I think I may pull the trigger now.

Just noticed this thread..

I picked up the Eibach 2R, SPC UCA, and SPC camber kit from Hotshot the other day, will be here tomorrow.

$1192 for the coilovers and a small discount on the other parts, but no tax/shipping was key for me.

Got my eibach stage 2 kit installed today. Definitely a firmer ride (no more excessive body roll) but not harsh at all, now feels planted and stable. Truck is almost perfectly level, rear is 1/2in higher than front. Well worth the upgrade vs oe components. With the Black Friday sale I got the kit with installation and alignment for less than the price of cheapest icon kit material only.
Obviously I know icon is a step above as it’s a 2.5 body vs 2.0 but not worth an extra +$1,000 IMO
I ended up paying $1792 for material/labor and alignment

 

[Calbot]

I don’t see how you can go wrong. I decided to go with Fidenza because they are just a drop shipper but can’t vouch until I get them in hand.

Was no tax no shipping.

Yeah fidanza is no go will take weeks to ship better off with csp or others rather than saving a buck.

Nice, do the eibach’s run a 450lb spring? I can’t quite make out the number on the spring in the pic.

Code on spring does end with number 450

Other thing I like with eibach is lifetime warranty, if shock fails you get a new one. With Fox and icon they need to be serviced and rebuilt on your own dime.
If you’re really pushing the limits off-road then icon or fox 2.5 are the way to go but if not save yourself some money, these eibachs are a huge improvement over OE. Also they are adjustable ride height so if you want rake you can drop them down with the provided shock adjustment tool. Natural combustion engines can get up to 3in lift, ecoboost 2.5in lift, and powerboost 2.2in lift. For most F150s depending on configuration to be dead on level you need 2.5-2.75in lift, which is why my powerboost at max ride height still has 1/2in rake. I’m running 35x12.5 tires with zero rub

Ended up ordering the 2R kit from Hotshot Offroad for the Black Friday $1,192 price delivered. Looking forward to seeing how it changes the feel.
