I have Geiser springs on my gen2 I’m VERY happy with them. I would make the shop that tossed perfectly good parts in the trash pay for replacements, that is if they can be purchased without buying front shocks. I found a set of new takeoffs on eBay for $150.00, the deal of the century.

18 802A. Went with Eibach. I like the ride. Can’t tell any difference. I do like how the truck sits and feels from inside the driver seat. I installed the springs myself. No front end alignment needed. I’ve been doing all my mods. If anybody wants to know anything about
Lights
Blow off valves
Cold air intake
Catch can
Tuner
Boost control knob
FORScan
Bed cover
Grille
I’d be happy to give advice or opinions.

Alignment IS NEEDED!!!! With the taller springs the toe is off and you’ll chew up your tires fast!!! I put Geisers on my gen1 and drove about 2 weeks before I could get it aligned and the wear on my tires was VERY noticeable.

When did you do the install? Are those the newer and softer Eibachs, or the older version that many thought were too stiff? Reportedly the newer version does not sit as high, but your picture would contradict that finding if they are the newer/softer Eibachs.

What boost control knob are you using? I have all the mods you have except the knob and the grill. Does the boost know work well with the tuner?

Thanks

Did work this past spring, those are the newest version of the eibachs. Height is about the same as Geisers, maybe a tiny bit taller.
