2019 - NOT LEVEL W/ EIBACHS

[GordoJay]

My scab with eibachs is level within 1 few 8’s when I park on level ground. And can be as much as 1.5” high in the front when not on level ground ?? So what’s the solution ?

Park on level ground.

I was joking, but there's some truth there. You could lift the back to add some rake, but then there would be parking situations that accented the rake and you probably wouldn't be happy. The problem is that the springs are soft and they're going to flex when the parking spot isn't level. Another solution would be to stiffen the springs to decrease the sensitivity to slope. This would ruin the ride and the off road performance. It might be better to park on level ground.

Lol thats the plan man. Method 605NV 20 inch with -12 offset

You will be doing a lot of plastic trimming and metal cutting/bending up front to fit 37's on -12 offset 20" wheels with just a extra 1.7" lift from Eibachs up front.

There is a block kit that Allows 0.5", 1.0" and 1.5" of Lift for Raptors back end. I don't see how a 1/2" could make much ride difference, do you ?
ProRYDE 3-in-1 Adjustable Rear Lift Block Kit
I can get it from American Trucks for $169.00

That might work, and it's cheap. If it was me, I'd put on Deavers, but I hate the way the stock 2" block on the rear axle makes the back end hop around on bumps. With an additional 1/2" block in the back, there will still be situations where the front is 1" higher than the rear, those same spots where it's now 1 1/2" higher. If you're OK with those things, a 1/2" additional in the back will help.

So Would you go higher, like 1" instead of 1/2" ??

I would, but I like a bit of rake. I also like to load 1200 pounds of gear and people in it and go camping and I want it to be level when it's fully loaded, so what I would do and what you might do could be very different ...
