Eibach springs to lift rear for load?

[Spooder]

My new 24 Raptor 35 has an ARE cap, cap rack drawer, and with all of the things I routinely carry (jack, tools, etc.) the truck is perfect level (rake gone). The distance from the tire edge to the plastic flare at the top is 7-5/8 on front and rear. I never measured before I put the cap on, but I think the rake is 1-1/2 inch higher at the rear, no? Today I had to fill up my gas bottles in prep for the incoming hurricane (48 gallons / 288 lb) and put them in the rear of the bed. The gap went down to 6.5 inches in the rear (additional 1" sag). I see that weight as a max for my camping or storm evacuation additional load. I will also be using the truck occasionally to pull my trailer with a 3000 lb boat. I am wanting to not give away my rear travel for offroading, and I will always have the load that is keeping it level now. So I am considering adding the Eibach rear springs that are advertised give an additional 1.5 inches of lift in the rear. My thought is that this will bring me back to a nominal geometry and I will discuss with the dealer if they will be willing to install them. Any comments regarding my plans to lift the rear end back up would be very much appreciated.

Hey there,

So lets break this down, you have probably 500-700 pounds in the bed at all times. From there youll occasionally add some weight loaded with fuel and/or towing a small boat as well.

Realistically, id skip Eibachs and go right into Eibach HD springs. They’ll handle the weight overall better and will sag a lot less under load.

The Eibachs or Geisers (when they come back in stock). Timbrens should also help. I have a set but have yet to install them. This is with a 1” block in the back and Eibach 2.2’s up front.

I basically have the same set up and tow similar weights and went with the timber grove air bags for the times I need to tow and just enough air when landed down for trips

I run the regular Eibach springs in the rear (Non-HD) and the airlift bag setup for additional support when needed. I would put the HD's in if they existed when I bought the Eibach's after they released them.

Please explain how those work on the five link coil spring suspension on Gen 3.

Thank you yes sir 37’s on 35 wheels. I really like the design of the 35 wheels.
