Yeah, I don't know what it would take to clear 37's with those wheels and tires. Eibachs may not be enough. That thing must ride like hell.

Yeah those pictures really show how high it is. I would guess there is a spacer on those eibachs too.

So to get to a safer place, I'd pull the coilovers on both sides. Remove the spacer if there is one. If it's on top of the top hat, it's relatively simple. If not or there are two, you'll need to disassemble the coilover. From there the front should be okay from a geometry point of view. If you really want to go for it, rebuild the shocks and replace the CVs. In the rear, I'd remove that huge block and airbags that are there, and just buy new Deaver +3 or Icon stage 1 leaf springs with no block. You can probably keep the airbags if you need them for towing or something but remove the block. Also, same here, rebuild the rear shocks if you have the money and time.

Ok thanks man appreciate the advice. Yes it really does ride like shit lol. I wanna get it back to not putting to much stress on stuff. Hopefully my leaking cv boot on driver side is why it pulls so hard to the left when in 4wd.

Agreed. With those 0 offset wheels, it will be harder to clear 37s. OP, you probably can get away with trimming of the inner flare if all you don't really offroad too hard.

I have 37s but with stock offset wheels. I am fine for the offroading I do, but I'm not a guy who jumps his truck very often or ever.

Yea there is spacers on top of the eibachs. Can I keep those springs still or go back to factory ? What is the list of parts front and back I need to lower the truck enough to be safe geometry

Ok thanks. Would it be better to Juwt change the front springs to stock no spacers etc. Then in the rear take out big spacer block and put stock one back and also take out airbags ? If I did this would it clear my 37’s with my non stock offset wheels ? Or if I leave the eibachs up front would that keep it high enough to clear my tires etc ?
