Honest Eibach Review Needed

[Moe7]

I didn't get a pre measurement, but I'm about 2" rake with 3-5 turns taken out from factory full extension. Pretty sure I was somewhere around 4" rake before.

2" sounds a bit extreme thinking about it so I'm questioning things now, lol.

Just an update, I've been driving the truck more regularly and didn't like the ride. Dug in a bit and found the driver side collar was near the max 90mm collar height:

I turned it down to about 80mm, and also moved the passenger collar down to level the front end (70-75mm?). The ride improved considerably, but I'm also coming close to 3" of rake with some rough measurements. Regardless, it is good enough for me. Will get some better measurements on the rake later.

Yea I took about 4 turns out (can’t remember exactly) I ended up with an inch of added front end height. Ride is waaay better than stock. Just a shame to do all that, get a wheel alignment. For 1” of added height.
I just wish there was a kit like the Eibach that added 2” and an improved ride.

My next move will be FX4 rear blocks reverse level. As it seems the only way to get the front height where I want it is is to spend thousands more on the icon kit. I’m not tossing out the Eibach now that it’s in and ride is good

Anyone running 285/75/18 with this Eibach 2R setup?

Yes I am, KO3's, Set at about 83mm on the collar, skidplate needed a trim and zip ties on the inner fender liner.

I left mine at the factory setting when installed. If I were to move them, how much would it throw off my alignment?

I adjusted mine after my alignment. No issues. I think the alignment is more important after having everything taken apart and reassembled. I’m sure my adjustments would be visible on an alignment machine. But new springs settle .25”-.5” and most don’t worry about an alignment with small increment changes.

That being said. Shops check your alignment for free. So if you are wanting to be 100% go have the same shop check it. They might even dial you back in if you just had your alignment done.

I've been playing with the idea of adding a motofab .5" spacer on top of my Eibach coilover to get a bit more lift with the coils turned down a few turns. I'll settle somewhere around 1.75" which is good for me
