Review: Eibach Front Springs with Deaver +4HD Leafs

[raiderofthelostark]

Read far too many threads here to acknowledge each. For my use case (Outdoors, Family Hauling, Towing) - this made sense.

Wanted to share some quick ride heights and first impressions with the Eibach front springs and Deaver +4HDs with Stock Shackles.

Only 40 miles since install, so fresh as fresh.

First Impressions:
-Right amount of stiffness. Not too firm and good for Seattle's ****** roads.
-Less tail wobble, a lot less. My truck would pivot over small bumps, doesn't anymore.
-For a tall, large vehicle - actually handles turns well.
-There is no squat at all which might be good for carrying a lot of crap but not for offroading, we'll see.
-Overall - Super stoked. Really happy I went with the 4HDs over the 3s based on ride height. I might not install the drop shackles now.

Ride heights measured on flat surface after ride height calibration:

Front Left = 42.25”
Front Right = 42.5”
Rear Left = 43.8”
Rear Right = 43.6”

I’m looking at making a very similar upgrade to my ‘20 due to rear sag, Eibachs up front, and my need to tow. Have you towed anything with your new setup?

i bought my 2020 6 months ago and the rear springs were already sagged. I switched to Deavers +1” of ride height. So much happier now.

Can we see pics?

This was taken after Eibach front and Deavers (+1” added ride height) rear were added. Tires switched to 37” K02 at the same time. Very happy camper.

did you upgrade your leaf shackles or just use stock ones @raiderofthelostark ?

The stock ones are on now in these photos. RPG 2” are going on as soon as they arrive which should level it out.

I'm in a 2018 with stock suspension and looking into Deavers based on everyone's enthusiasm... As long as I'm doing the suspension, might as well get some lift, so will do the Eibach's up front. @raiderofthelostark why did you opt for the +2 Deavers with the -1 shackles v just doing the +1 Deavers? Did you do the Aluminum shackles? What's the difference between the standard and HD Deavers?
