I measured pre install and as best I can recall the fronts were equal at 40 1/4” and the left rear was nearly 41 1/2” and the right rear was maybe 2-3/16” lower to start. The right rear is still just a hair lower than the other 3- certainly nothing you’d ever notice. I had local Les Schwab shop do the install. I know them well. They had not done a 2019/Gen 2, so I texted them the RPG Install Video in case they had questions. Pretty sure they didn’t need it ‍♂️ They installed no problem and aligned it. $217 total. Hope this helps. What are your pre measurements?

I will check out RPG’s site. $217.00 with alignment’s a good price for the install.

I need to get the truck on level ground and measure it up. Curious to see how it compares to yours. That will surely tell me a lot.

Man so the 2.25 doesn’t give it that much lift? I’m confused now but thankful I haven’t already ordered the 1.5 for my 2019

Check out Marco’s measurements of his truck before and after, that he was so kind to provide. You should also be able to predict exactly where you will end up.

He also noted his ride quality was unchanged as well. I was thinking springs before, Mainly because I didn’t want to alter the ride and basically degrade an expensive truck. Different story now.

Both the Eibach springs and the RPG collars can be used to level the 2019s and we've used both options. If you decide to go the RPG route, be sure to measure your truck.

We have had customers run the 2.25" collars and end up riding nose high in the front and later going to a 1.5.

Here's a link to the RPG Collars: 2019+ Raptor Spring Perch Collar

Here's a link to the Eibach Springs: Eibach Pro Lift Springs 2017-2019 Raptor

Both items are currently in stock and ship free.

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions!

I keep hearing that perch collars will ruin the ride on the 2019’s but can’t find anything that says how. Some say because it will ride higher and top out the shocks but I have trouble seeing why this would only apply to the 2019’s.

Do the Eibach’s make the shock closer to “topping out”? What’s the best way to level a 2019?

anyone?

Thanks do you sell the Eibach spring replacements? Would this alter the ride at all?

I had 1.5” RPG collars on for a year and switch to Eibachs when I added icon rear leafs.

The Eibachs ride great!

I just installed Eibachs this past Friday. I’ve put about 100 miles on the truck since then. No off-road miles. My initial thought is they ride a little stiffer than stock (as others have noted). I definitely feel more of the road. Not bad at all, but not as plush as the stock shocks. I added new wheels and tires at the same time, so that might impact the ride a bit. The tires are 35x12.5x17 10 ply Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I’m thinking the 10 ply might have something to do with it.

Most likely. Went from a C load rating tire to an E load rating, so that will have some impact.
