Honest Eibach Review Needed

Moe7 said:
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
 
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 :)
 
I went through several different setups on my 21 since the Tremor was new then and they didn’t have any Tremor specific setups at that time.

That said, my final setup was the Eibach 2R (left at factory setting), Stock UCAs, and RAS in the back. MT Baja Boss AT 295/70r18 on factory rim. I experienced no rubbing issues and the ride was pretty firm but good enough.

Looking to level the 26, which should be the same but I’m getting some mixed feedback through what I’ve seen on the newer models.

I was thinking of Eibach 3R this time hopefully with stock UCAs. Can anyone tell me with the 3R can you run 295/70r18 (stock rim) with stock UCAs and improve the ride and have no rubbing?

What problems are with the 26? I saw skid plate may need cutting. Is that due to rim offset or something?

My rig is a 2025 402a, I don’t have the 3R but I will say the 2R is a very notice improvement. Body roll is better, curves are better, and large dips get soaked up.

I have heard mixed reviews of the 3R for on-road. I’m not sure if Eibach has adjusted the coilovers since the reviews. Shock Surpluses has reviews posted I believe.

As far as the 295, you can run it but it may run the rear of the front skid plate slightly. Folks have just been trimming the skid plate to remedy. Ford changed the design of the skid plate for 2024+ Tremors. There is more of a lip that folks may slightly rub. There are pics of the trimming and comparison on another thread.

What tire size are you running?

I didn’t really have any complaints with the 2R, but I did read the SS write up on the different Eibach models and I thought since I intended on running those fairly hefty mickeys I might be better served with the 3R. That said, I drive a lot and most of the miles are daily driver pavement/gravel.

I’m stock right now but plan to move to 295/70 or 285/75 very soon.
 
Pro 2 only got 1” at factory setting. Not quite what I hoped for. I have a topper on order that should drop it 1/2” in rear so maybe it’s ok.
How much do there settle?

It is a light gray. I think it’s called avalanche. For some reason it photographs different depending on light

Buddy of mine and my father both have lariat’s in the same colour. Favourite F150 colour in a long time. Wish I got my Tremor in it but I bought it used

So only a day of driving but here's my review. Initially was let down and nose dives and body roll seemed excessive. This morning I rode them hard as I could given my urban jungle with washed out roads, train tracks and potholes. They seemed to settle in. Nose dive is still present but not as bad as out the gate.
They are not even close to a raptor ride but did not expect at this price point. Kinda bummed the Fox 3.2 will not fit and Halo stage 3 out of commission till they figure out the failure. not a lot of options for the Tremor for a great ride and firm at the same time

Oh. What year is it? 2025 had space white. But I think 2024 had avalanche. They are slightly diff.
 
Has anyone installed these yourselves? I ordered the same E86-35-035-01-22 kit and am experiencing interference with the outer cv’s. I have a 22 3.5 ecoboost and ordered them per Eibach recommendation.

I only did the rears myself (easy part). Then I paid to have the fronts done.
The shop ended up separating my drivers side CV and had to replace it. Do you have pictures of the interferences?
