Does it increase with speed? My truck vibrates like the front drive shaft or something might be a little out of balance. Do you have the torsen diff?
I do have the Torsen, I will have to try it again soon to see about the speed. I noticed it in the gas pedal too. Wondering if Ford built in some steering wheel feedback so that you are aware of the fronts being engaged on smooth pavement because I’d think it would not be noticeable off road
FYI I noticed a note in my shipment that said that some oil around the fittings was normal and from the manufacturing process. Hopefully that is all it is but they may give you that when you contact them
Didn’t have any notes in the box about that and nothing in any off the attachments that came with it. This is more than residual oil, it has actually ran down the shock body. It was dry as a bone when they were installed. We’ll see what they say
A little different than I remembered but here it is
Hear you go.
Seems like if you want to level out your truck, and improve ride quality/comfort at the same time, Halolifts Stage 3 (the one with the dual compression adjusters) is the way to go. Major downside is that its $$$ at right around 5k if you include the UCAs. I wonder how the Halo Stage 1 compares with the Eibachs. Icon is another option but from feedback on this forum, as well as non-Tremor forums it seems to be way too firm for most.
I was looking at the stage 1, seems like the price is about the same. The lift amount is the same too. What drew me to eibach was the resi rear shocks. I would like to know which one feels softer like factory but have t found anyone who has ridden in both. The spring rate is the same as well. I do like the aluminum body Elka shocks a bit more. It’s a really tough choice.
I think both are progressive valving and like you said spring rates are the same so I'm sure they at least are similar. At the end of the day i think both will still be noticeably firmer than stock. I avoid puck spacers as i do run my truck off road a fair bit but it seems like that's the only way to retain that 100% factory plushiness.
just installed mine, fingers crossed I don't have any issues and I hope yours is just excess and not a problem with the shocks....
Left mine at where they came out of the box which I think is max. Not stiff at all imo
I also left mine at the stock setting. IMHO it’s perfect. I’ve put about 2k miles on mine and I’m still amazed at how much nicer the truck is to drive now. It’s super smooth on the highway and yet it doesn’t have that floaty/boaty wallow feel that the stock suspension has. Once you install the Eibachs you’ll realize how under damped the stock suspension was.
