    I got a set of 4 for my’20 ORP on Eibach’s Black Friday sale. I’ve been torn between 1st notch(.8”) lift or the 2nd notch(1.6”) lift. I’m not planning on getting bigger tires, so I’m not sure if I need the 1.6”.
    I just mounted the rears. The Driver’s side went up about 1/4”. The Passenger side went up about 3/4”.
    So, I now have 2” difference on the left, and the passenger side difference is almost 3”.
    I’m now thinking the 1.6” lift would be proper to level it.
    Any comments?

    I believe you’re supposed to use one notch higher on the driver side shock to help reduce that lean. Maybe that is just for 5100’s.

    I would drive it a while before deciding. Shocks alone in the rear shouldn't change the ride height, and will probably settle back to the pre-Eibach height.

    Check out the link in post #9 on page 1 if you want to see quite a few photos on different rigs with the .85 front lift & stock rear.

    Agreed, changing the rear shocks alone should not change the rear ride height.

    The 1st notch up front will still likely give the rig some rake, which will likely be eliminated with a couple hundred pounds of cargo (suitcases, cooler, etc.) in the back.

    The 2nd notch up front will make the vehicle sit relatively level (no rake). Just be aware of the you could experience some inverse rake if you go with the 2nd notch and then load several hundred pounds of cargo in the back.
