Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

I've probably read about 30 of the 66 pages so forgive me if this is in the thread somewhere, but if you go Eibachs and keep the rear leafs stock, does the overall cab height increase and if so how much? I read somewhere that raising the front doesn't increase overall height but looking for thoughts on this (low garage at work). This is for a 2018. Thanks!

Leveling the truck will cause an overall nominal height increase to the truck because you're changing the pitch of the roof a bit. Maybe we're talking a half-inch here.

Thanks! I was close to pulling the trigger on some 20” 601’s in patina bronze today but I just got these 602’s. Lol. Springs first.

Summer set, winter set!

If you're interested, the 601 sale is Buy 3, Get 1 Free, plus free shipping, free lugs, and a VenomRex Holiday Gift for Cyber Monday. Since you already have the lugs, we can do some blue logo inserts for your wheels instead.

Here if you need us!

Ha! I took advantage of the buy 3 get one already. 601’s when tires wear out for sure.

What a pain in the rear! Didnt realize that the top perch had to be aligned differently than the oem spring to align bolt holes. Took me some serious trial and error. Second shock was far easier once I learned the trick to align the top.

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?

Sorry been a while since I’ve been on here. Yes I ran the sdhq drop shackle with these to have less rake and also fit in my garage [emoji3]

Also the stocks were noticeably saggy with gear in the bed. Now it’s not an issue and the truck is planted nicely.

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?

That looks nose high.

J,
What was the specific trick you learned to align the top. I’ll be doing the spring swap this weekend and would love any rip you can share.
