Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

Just installed Eibachs today. Definitely raised the nose. Actually feel like it may ride a tad nose high now. Has anyone else noticed this? Do these springs tend to settle?

Hmm no mine was perfectly level per a level and my iPhone level. What do you have in the bed?

Set of stock wheels

EDIT: okay so the five stock wheels and a couple of boxes of fire wood definitely made a difference. Pulled those out and it’s much improved. It still about 1” lower. 41 1/2” to the fender in the rear and 42 1/2” to the fender in the front

You are probably level. The fender well measurement won’t be the same front and rear when level as the front fender well is actually higher. Try using a level on the bed, running board or door handle

Finally got my eibachs, icon leafs (option 2) with sdhq drop shackle, and svc bumps installed.

So far like the ride and look. I’m glad I went with the drop shackle to limit rear lift of option 2.

Sorry didn’t take before measurements but back nows sits at 43” and front sits around 41”.

Theres a very slight rake.

Drove some areas today that the bumps generally make the truck’s backend break loose and it was planted with the icon leafs. I’m really happy with how these drive over the stock leafs.

The eibachs up front are definitely stiffer. I had my RPG collars taken off when the eibachs were installed and the eibachs seem to bring the front up higher. Truck still fits in my work parking garage by about an inch so I’m happy haha

I've had my Eibachs on since I got the truck in April and got my Icon Stage 2 shortly thereafter. I just got back from the Baja 1K but when I was heading into HP Ranch, the road has some ruts due to the rain and I noticed/heard the rear end making a loud clunking noise on those ruts and have no idea why. I was driving at 15MPH and still was making this noise intermittently. Maybe I should've gone with Deavers or maybe I am missing something.....
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Rear sits almost at the same level as stock where the rear is slightly higher than the front. Front drives way better with Eibachs and have taken it out to the dunes in Pismo and they felt great. I had stock rear springs when I went out to Pismo and haven't really tested the rear springs other than when I added weight with my rack and RTT/gear.

What leaf package did you go with in the back to maintain the rake?
Also how much of a difference did it make from stock with your new springs and leaf package going down a washboard dirt road ? Does your new package soak up the bumps noticeably a lot better?

I assume you Did a drop shackle to dial back the raked look but went w/ the +2 leafs over +1 to help prevent sag w/ heavier load/trailer?

Otherwise the eibachs & +1 leafs no shackle probably produce the same result?
