2021 Gen 3 Eibach Front Leveling Springs

[Mc5601]

okay, so the springs are def stiffer. Not lifted truck harsh ride stiff, but more like sports car stiff. These will def be better off-road than the oem springs. I'll see how they ride on the freeway later today when I take my kids to soccer and report back. To be completely honest, if these springs don't soften up slightly, or if I don't get used to the stiffness in a month or 2, I'll probably remove them and go with the SDI collar spacers.

Before the springs, front fender was 41".
With eibach springs, front fender is 42.75"
Rear sits approx 42.25" with 3/4 tank of gas

@FmaxTurboSi,

What are your impressions about the springs not what you've been running them for a bit? I have a set that are scheduled to be installed next week and don't want to have any regrets on a harsh ride

I spoke to Tanner at Eibach and he said the new Gen3 springs will be out on Jan 4th or 5th, 2023

Stock Gen 3 spring rate is 546 and the new Eibach Gen 3 springs will be a spring rate of 600. These new springs will be offered in 1" level and 2.5" lift with 1.5" rear lift option. Previous Gen 2 springs are identical length but spring rate is 550 so they are a bit softer than the new version. Hope this helps answer some questions for you guys

That’s interesting, I reached out to eibach last Friday (3 days ago) and they told me Jan 20. I didn’t get the guy’s name unfortunately. Also interesting the decision to goto 600 considering the first iteration of eibach gen 2 springs was 580ish and people hated them due to stiffness. I’m sure there’s a variable I’m missing here, maybe different length?

I'm only as good as what I was told but that's verbatim what I got from them last week. I ordered a set of Gen 2 springs after being told that they would be softer along with a 1" Foutz rear extension so hopefully it goes well

Oh I don’t doubt you at all, pretty sure Eibach doesn’t have a date set is all lol. I read in this thread the guy who hated the ride of the gen 2 springs on his gen 3, so I ordered a 1.5 inch collar. If I don’t like the 1.5 I’m going to look into something custom for 1 inch.

RPG will make a custom collar for you if you wish. They are going to do 1.0” collars for me and have them powder coated using the Fox orange.

That’s awesome, I asked them the same thing a week ago and they never got back to me.

Eibach officially released the springs today, updated their site. Ended up cancelling my leveling spring order after measuring my trucks rake (1”) and ordered both front and rear springs to have a little rake

Eibach officially released the springs today, updated their site. I ordered the leveling springs instead of doing the perch spacer.

Please post on ride quality once you install them and post pics once they settle. I am wondering if they cause the strut to slam down and top out when hitting big bumps? The old ones were terrible, I yanked them off 3 days after I installed them on my gen 2

Yea, hoping not, but we’ll see. Will post an update once I get them installed

Any idea if the spring rate has changed from the factory spring rate?
