Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

Any update? Also have you done anything to the rear at all or do you have stock springs

Still rides great but haven't hit dirt yet - works had me out of town too often lately!

Stock springs in rear for now- still researching whether rears are actually worth the upgrade.

What have you guys paid for installation? I was just quoted $570 including alignment.....seems extremely High!

I paid $500 included alignment and camber bolts

Then you'll need a good thin BUT STRONG prybar to push down the lower control arm to give the shock room to come out of the control arm at the bottom.

....uh...yeah....don't do that...Let me explain..
You are changing springs to change ride height, so both the upper and lower arms will be in a new lower position after the install. If you do not loosen up all the arms they will be trying go back where they used be and in doing so will prematurely destroy the pivot bushings, and yeah a lot more work to get that shock back in...
This is Suspension 101 and a lot of guys miss this one...
....oh yeah if you replace any arms with aftermarket arms with spherical pivot bearings this does not apply and the install will be much easier...

Do you need camber bolts for the spring install?

You don’t need them but they will not be able adjust camber without them, only toe. My camber was still in spec with the geisers. I will eventually get a upper control arm a slot delete.

Thanks for the information. Is there anything else I need to purchase along with the eibachs to bring with me for install before I look like a goon walking into the shop lol

How will I know the spring rates of the eibachs if both rates are listed as the same part number? The one sold on stage 3 is the new eibach springs with 548 spring rate?
