thanks! I’m gonna call eibach tomorrow to get some info on my PN. Weird though, the box they shipped in had the correct E30 number, and also the individual boxes they were in also had the E30 number. But my coils have E31 stamped. I’ll keep you guys posted.

Mine are stamped E31 also and they are fine on mine.

This is promising, thank you for sharing! Maybe e30 and e31 are interchangeable?

Not sure but I went out and looked. Sure enough it is 31. Post a picture of your truck from the side. The whole thing so we can see the rear too

Yes, is it not a Raptor... but I did the complete suspension swap in front, correct lowers, correct uppers (from camburg), correct tie rods and the Gen 1 shocks which I put the correct eibachs on.

a little background, truck is a 3.7L v6 and rear wheel drive. Maybe the additional weight of the 6.2 AND the front differential makes a huge difference?

the rear has a 2” block off the stock 3 leaf setup.

Did you run the stock springs with your setup and the gen1 swap? How did it sit with those if so?

I mean the stock raptor springs not the v6 springs

i didn’t, I went right to the eibach. I still have them though, I’m going to run this setup for a few weeks to see if they settle down at least an inch. If not I’ll probably throw the OEM black coils on.
I really appreciate the help!

Hey you didn’t install them with both of those angled plates on the top of the strut together did you? One goes in top of the frame mount and one goes under. That’ll act as a level kit almost and it’ll put the strut at a crazy angle
