Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

[GR8Ride]

Just ordered the Eibach front springs for my 19 yet to arrive.
This is my 1st planned mod and it was an easy choice when I drove past a local dealer with a similar set up Raptor. The rake was not very appealing to say the least!
Will I need to have it aligned after install!

Yes, definitely schedule an alignment. Installer suggested I wait a few days for the springs to settle and get it done, especially if you have new tires. Too expensive to risk premature wear!!

First off that’s simply badass. I’m not sure I’d trust the eibach coils rated at 580+ lbs. Comparitviely I had a 2013 Tundra Crewmax with 2.5 kings with resis all around with 700lb coils and bottomed out. Then again it had a big V8 up front.

In my personal experience having my rig leveled or lifted in the front was needed in order to fit specific tire sizes. And let’s be honest it just looked better lol.

Now obviously the Raptor is different in this regard. Do I need it leveled....probably not. But aesthetically speaking, I can’t stand the rake.

One member had them on his and no posts or reports of bottoming out that I could find in his posts when I was researching these springs. I even PM’d to ask about the concerns a lot of people were talking about with “harsh ride” and all that. These springs are rated at 544lbs. 588lbs was initial release and that’s when a lot of people said they were too stiff. @dude1782

Does that mean you’ve decided which one you are going to try first? We all know you are going to try both options eventually....

I’m running the geiser on my 18 and mounting up the eibach on my buds 17. I will get a nose to nose pic after I get his on, hopefully Monday.

I’m not sure if the eibach’s will provide enough clearance for my 37’s. Still mounting up the tires on my method beadlocks, project got stalled when I had my deaver +3 fall on my toe while taking them apart for sandblasting for Steel-it coating. Also have a set of McNeil 2+2 fenders ordered. Sorry for the gore

Thanks a lot! Will do for sure.

Damn wtf did u do?!?? My god!!!! Someone smash your tow with a hammer? That’s not in the instructions man!

You sand blasted the leafs and are coating with steel it? Let me know how they hold up.

Deavers and Icon leafs rust just about the same.

I haven't had problems with bottoming or coil binding. I know a lot of people were bitching about terrible ride, coil binding, etc. but I never felt any of that. The ride wasn't bad and it was a little more controlled and increased the ride height. I haven't been off road in a long time but the eibachs with deavers and a rear sway bar sure are nice on the pavement.

Nice info on the eibach springs, I think I’ll go with the eibach rather than the RPG spacers, more expensive but well worth it in the long run. With a winch on the front that added about 200 lbs
