Eibach Pro-lift springs installed with pics and comments

Out of curiosity, why are you going to drive it 200 miles before getting the alignment? Wouldn’t you want it done ASAP?

From what I've heard it's good to drive around for a while and let things settle before shelling out the cash for a proper alignment. Honestly though if you follow the rules and get an alignment/balance/rotation every 5k it probably won't matter.

In my past experiences the allignment isn’t off that much so I like to drive it a while and beat on it to get everything to settle back in and let the springs break in then do a re torque then allignment. I have don’t lift kits and don’t tape measure and level allignments and truck drove good. Also do want to get the allignment cams before I bring it in

Mine was 1/4" nose high on the pside, 1/2" dside initially. I'm a little over 1000 since the swap now, I'm almost level but not quite. Honestly feel like it will settle to dead level when I get to 5000 miles. Word of advice, get ready to install this camber kit to be able to dial to Eibachs recommended camber of -.4:

My alignment shop was able to get it right on the dside, but -.6 is the best they could do on the pside without that camber kit.

That’s good to know thanks buddy

Rather than buying from 4WP, I'd recommend purchasing from one of our local resellers here on FT. I bought mine from @NEOGARAGE recently. His price is better than 4WP, no tax (depending on what state you're in, I think), and fast/free shipping!

So happy with the ride of the eibachs however I for sure need to get the rear up a little. What have y’all been doing to the rear?

Most folks do springs. But some folks just go with blocks. With blocks, you’ll only get the height increase. With springs, you’ll get the height increase, more comfort, less axle wrap, and added overall performance. The only drawback is more sag when towing.

Thank you for the support!

Are you saying towing capacity is reduced with after market springs?

Got links on springs and blocks so I can look?

No, but depending on which springs you go with, the truck will sag in different ways and the suspension will cycle differently
