    Eibach ref number

    Hi, could someone who’s running Eibach coils check the reference number on them please. Mainly the two letters next to the Eibach label. I have H/W and not sure of the meaning and even if it’s the right coil ! The numbers are 313504201FA and I think they are correct. Problem is the truck...

    Steering pump whining

    I changed all the hoses and cleaned the reservoir but not changed. On the manual it says Mercon V but I read somewhere that Ford recommended LV after 2012 but that sounds weird, both oils must not be mixed. Mine is 2012.

    Steering pump whining

    Hi everyone, changed my steering pump as it was whining constantly in curves and in straight line, but now with the new pump no more whining in straight but whines loudly in curve and when turning wheels mainly over 2000rpm. I bleed all the air out and used Mercon V. Any ideas ?

    Eibach = CV issue !?

    Hi, so from ground to fender I have 106,5mm so 42’ and that’s on mid perch stock. With the Eibach’s on I had for the same measurement almost 44’ on low perch !

    Eibach = CV issue !?

    Eibach’s were on low perch and it was giving exactly 2’ more than stocks on med perch. The grinding first happened in 2 wd at 60mph but more like a vibration and for only 2 seconds. Then I tried 4wd on a straight line on a dirt road without turning and it was terrible. Noise from the CV’s and...

    Eibach = CV issue !?

    The Eibach’s were properly mounted, no worries about that and the total lift compared to oem mount is 3’ so that exactly what they are sold for with a possible light sag after a few k miles. But 3’ lift on my raptor is way too much for the CV’s and the front diff. I am trying to understand why...

    Eibach = CV issue !?

    Hi, just fitted a pair of Eibach at low perch on my 2013 gen1 and it now sits 2’ higher than stock at mid perch. Problem is that my CV’s(new) don’t like it ! Grinding, knocking and vibration when in 4x4 so definitely sitting to high for the CV’s. I had to go back to stock and everything is fine...

    Enough !

    Thanks guys, I don’t loose faith and I am really trying to like this truck but… the previous owner has never been off-road but I suspect he used the 4x4 on the road when raining and probably caused it n issue in the front dif. I had the IWE out 2 days ago and they are fine so I don’t think it’s...

    Enough !

    To be honest, the Raptor has been my dream truck for years, I could finally bought a 2013 in super nice conditions with 40k miles last October. Since then it has been constant nightmare ! I am so disappointed with that truck, it’s not reliable at all, I had noises everywhere, issues with the...

    UCA and 3’lift

    Hi guys, I just installed the Eibach 3’ coils on low perch and the truck sits way higher than with the stock springs at mid perch. The front is now 1/2 inch higher than the rear. I am going to sort out this by lifting the rear slightly but my question is: with such a lift on the front, are...

    Raptors gen1 and 2 UCA’s

    Hi, could be a stupid question so sorry if it is, but I am trying to find out if the gen1 and gen2 UCA’s are the same. I do not have the vehicles to compare and the parts number I found on the net are very similar, only the first letter is different. Thanks
