So....got a 2019 and had the Eibachs installed at Ford a week ago. Roughly 500km ( Canada) and they appear to be settled in....i think.

The ride is much stiffer which I like, however, my truck isn't level at all. I'm sitting at 41inches in the rear and 42 inches in the front. The truck appears slightly upright from certain angles. From what im hearing, I though that Eibach had adjusted their springs to make 2019 and up Raptors level with their kit.


My issue now is....is my live valve suspension affected in the front (in a negative manner) and do i require to swap out the rear springs to Deavers. The truck seems to be pulling to the right although i had my alignment done with Ford

I want more payload capacity (1200lb payload is a joke) but I dont haul frequently. Need some sound advice how to move forward. Cheers gents.20200809_141100.jpg 20200809_141131.jpg 20200809_141111.jpg 20200809_141045.jpg 20200809_141016.jpg

Have you hauled anything heavy since you mention payload being weak? If so, you may have already flattened your rear springs some. I'm not positive, but I think 41" in the rear is a little low for a stock truck. Maybe someone else can confirm

Mine sits at 42.25+ with just a tonneau on the stock springs after a camping trip where I had about 1000lb in the truck and drove at least 100 miles of various kinds of dirt/rock/wash at a medium level of aggression.

We went camping and I had a bunch of bikes on a rack, a small flat top griddle cooler and a few other odds and ends. I didnt tow anything.

Deaver +3s will make it look right. Then, you might as well go with 37s! :cool:

Lol thats the plan man. Method 605NV 20 inch with -12 offset

-12 offset is going to poke out way past the fenders and look odd on a Raptor. As long as you do not plan to Offroad, it will work, but do not post any pics of 20” wheels with that offset or this site will give you a rash of $&*^

@Oldfart might give you a rash, but the rest of us will give you a ration ... :)

I ended up in this exact same position when I first did my Eibachs, 1/2" nose high. After 3000+ miles the Eibachs haven't really settled at all. After doing Deaver +3s a month ago I have to say the truck rides simply amazing. Luckily I drive a scab so 35s already look right to me... for now.
