Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

[Leftsidej]

Installed the springs today, I've only driven pry 20 miles with them but so far I really like them a lot. No more nose dive when braking and I think it's overall a more comfortable ride so far. I'll update when I get to take them off the pavement a little bit but so far I'm extremely pleased. Took pictures of before the install height and after. Stock rear at the moment. Any questions please feel free to ask! Just got the truck into my garage and to the un-trained eye it really does look leveled. If you look closely you can see slight cali-lean. I'll take better photos tomorrow of the truck in my garage before and after the springs. I can say I defiantly did not gain 2.5 inches which is fine with me because I can't afford new leafs for awhile.

P.S. ignore the fingernail polish, had to have someone hold the tape

17. double checked tire pressure before and after install. Only thing I can think of is I had the Eibachs in my bed when I took the before photo, nothing else though. Don't think that weight would sway the result that much.

Thanks for the update @Leftsidej.

I'm really surprised you didn't get the full 2.5" which is what I am hoping doesn't happen to to mine.

Do you know what the back measured in at before the install?

Looks like your measurements before the install are very close to my '18.

No problem man! Yeah, so was I. I completely forgot to measure the rear before install, my apologies.

Seems like I'm barely stretching around 1.8 inches of front lift after the install which as I recall somewhere earlier in this thread, someone mentioned they had 1.7 or so after I believe? Rather confused to be honest.

The guys with 2019MY were staying only 1.7-1.9 (there is now a thread about Eibach springs just for the 2019) but for 2017-2018 you are the first I’ve read about that says less than 2. Most have been closer to 2.25

Apparently the '19 are rated at 1.7 inches of lift and they say that the '18 are 2.5 inches. Same springs same part numbers. It's actually on eibachs site.

Yeah i've somewhat followed that thread just to see what the 19 guys are getting and that's pry where I recalled that 1.7-1.9 number. It's interesting because my rear leafs are definitely not new, so that wouldn't be in my favor it terms of rear end height. As it sits now my rear is approximately an inch (give or take) lower than my front.

That’s why I’m waiting for my Icon rear springs. Then I’ll do the Eibach and see what setting I need for the rear, factory springs are assed out.

Yeah that sounds like a logical idea. Depending on how much weight you carry full time in the bed is the only thing I can thing I can think of that would make you go to the 2nd or 3rd option with the Icons unless you like a super raked look with the Eibachs.

If I were to put Deaver +3 or Icon option 1 on as it stands now I'd be an inch taller in the rear which sounds good to me.
