Eibach 2.0

Eibach 2.0 Coilovers going in. This pic is height they showed up in. Rear coils going in too +1”. I’m guessing rear shocks that were supposed to show up are on back order. Coils going in anyway. waiting to hear back from customer service at Stage 3 Motorsport

 

hey did you get these installed how do you like them

 

I'm in the same boat, received fronts but no rears yet. Installed the fronts last weekend. I've got a 21 TRDORP, only added weight is a pair of RCI sliders. I had a significant amount of rake, about 2.5" difference. Installing the Eibachs set the way they come raised my front end over 3.5 inches. To get to level with half tank of gas, I've gone down 6 turns on each side. Started at 1.2" of thread showing and now I have about 3/4" below the ring. The ride is very close to stock. I do notice the front handles speed bumps better than stockers and much better than the stock rears now. Be nice if Eibach would ship my rears, or at least answer an email and let me know the status.

 

Same thing here. I actually raised a couple turns before I put front tires on thinking it would be easier to lower after the fact. Wrong!
It was way high but I drove a few miles just to see if it settles at all. It did barely. So I removed front tires and dialed waaaay down. I used the 2:1 ratio on figuring the set height. Couldn’t get enough room with tires on and I did have the front end off the ground.
I was measuring bottom of coil ass. to the top of black body with a machinist ruler. Fine threads to hard on these eyes. So I’m about 2” in front and I’ll put a few miles on before I remeasure and adjust if necessary and get alignment done.
Ride is nice, softer than I thought it would be. Which is fine. I have rear 1” coils in and feels slightly firmer. Length of coil barely longer than stock. I’ll refrain from flexing rear until shocks installed, sent out another email to customer service from Stage3. No response yet. It would be nice if advertised these were on back order.
As far as install I took apart top ball joint vs. bottom as I’ve seen on other videos. Pretty easy job. Rear coils real easy. Coming from the Jeep world Eibach not popular so I kinda rolled the dice but happy

 

First pic is after install. Second is after lowered down to about 2” and have a bit of rake. Will probably adjust later.

 

that looks good

 

Here’s my side view. I’m about 1/4” higher in front. Waiting to see if I get any settling.

 

I've got ~8k miles on mine with zero settling. Not sure why as everyone says they are supposed to settle

 

I think some people put on a lift and then take a height measurement before driving it around.......getting an artificially high lift measurement.

Others have coils from different manufactures that do actually settle a bit within the first few months.

Eibach says their coils don't settle.

 

Old thread, but I thought I would share my experiences with the Eibach 2.0 adjustable coil overs and adjustable rear springs.

The install was very easy thanks to some good folks with YouTube videos outlining the process. I started with my coil overs maxed out and the ride was extremely harsh. I ended up dropping them down quite a bit and adding my old 1/2” spacer back on top of the strut to make up the difference in ride height. I was surprised at how much more the driver’s side had to be adjusted up to get the truck level side to side, but that is the advantage of adjustable coil overs. The adjustable rears are fine. I set them all the way up and will probably never touch them. For some reason, I thought I would have additional adjustability to compensate for heavy loads, trailers, etc., but all the way up was required to level the truck with the front lift. In retrospect, I probably would have been just as happy with the stage 1. If you want the full amount of lift the coil overs offer, I would advise against this kit as the ride does suffer from the preload. Also, the adjustment tool for the rear broke almost immediately upon use. All this being said, with mine adjusted where it is, the ride and comfort are very good.

 

^^ This...

My rear adjuster punch broke the first time adjusting the rears as well. Luckily, it was after i had my rear height already set.

Cheers,

Curious if any of you guys running this set up are getting coil contact on the sway bar? My driver side is hitting.

 

Nope, KDSS here, too.

 

Mine isn't hitting.

 

I just got this kit with rear load leveling kit. Will I need to get my TSS re-calibrated for the new Height?

 

No.

 

What he said

 

New to this and looking on how to raise mine a bit. I have decided on ordering some oversized shocks and raising the front 2” and the back 1”. Is that essentially what a few one here have done, or is this kit a full lift ?

 

Not sure what you are reffereing to with a full kit but here is a site with a bunch of information on types of lifts.

 

Just inquiring if this and yours was simply larger shocks you put on the runner, or did a traditional lift

 

This is the full kit, comes with everything you need.

 

Eibach 2.0 shocks offer an adjustable lift height for the front. You can choose from the minimum height they offer to the maximum by spinning the the lower coil perch until your desired ride height is achieved.

For the rear, they offer fixed lift hight coils or an adjustable system.

 

Thanks

 

Thanks, that’s what I’m pretty sure I’m going to try. Want to do the whole lift kit but I literally just got new tires I don’t want to waste.

 

I'm running the same rear coil with 1.75 up front... Keep some rake.!! Those could will drop a inch as soon as you have any weight on them....

 

Was this just oversized shocks? Or did you add more?

 

Bilstein 5100 set to 1.75 in front
Eibach 1inch coils in rear

 

Finally got to take this kit off road last weekend. It's fine on packed gravel/dirt/pavement but on potholes/bumps/rocks the front leaves a lot to be desired IMO. The coilover is sitting exactly in the middle of the threads and Eibach says that's where it should ride amazing. Disconnecting the front sway bar helped some but not much(don't recommend doing). The rebound/top out just seems way too harsh to me, feels like the front end is dropping a couple feet versus inches. The rear does great on all terrain though.
